Over a month on a ship we'd never been on before! To the Black Sea, although our visits to the Ukraine were cancelled because of the Russian annexation of the Crimea. Shortly before we sailed the call at Tunis was cancelled because of terrorism fears [I am amending this page on 27th. June 2015, the day after the terrorism attack in Tunisia, killing we don't know yet how many British tourists. If there was a threat in 2014 to stop us visiting what is different in 2015?].

Saga now made the cruise all inclusive (for the same price) and we'd visited the Ukraine stops before and Tunis. The new destinations included Batumi in Georgia and Georgia had been on our itinerary on an earlier cruise until Russia invaded! Any chance of you folks in the Kremlin giving us a bit of notice in future so that we can plan our holidays!

Anyway, the new itinerary was Gibraltar, Malaga, Valletta, Piraeus, Constanta, Sochi, Batumi, Trabzon, Sinop, Varna, Nessebar, Istanbul, Heraklion, Cagliari, Almeria and Lisbon.
