Cruises & Rail Journeys

Join me on Viking Cruises ‘Homeland Cruise’ departing 11 May 2026
Sail the clear waters of Scandinavia and the Baltic on this 15-day cruise. Explore more with overnights in cosmopolitan Stockholm, vibrant Oslo and scenic Bergen. Discover the charming historic center of Tallinn and marvel at the Gothic brick cathedrals in Gdańsk. Immerse yourself in Norwegian culture in Stavanger and Eidfjord.

For my second visit to Italy, I was travelling on my own. The best option was to use a Rail Pass which gave me flexibility and value for money. For this travel, I wanted to spend more time in Tuscany and visit Sienna, San Gimignano and the Cinque Terra.
