Creator's Key Takeaways

So the whole the whole concept here is is that you know a lot of places in the world look a lot different now than they did 40 or 50 years ago. So how do we get back to that?

And we visited five or six different places in between Monte Carlo and Rome. Places you've never heard of.

If you want to go so for example our first porta call was in Calvie Corsica and if you've never been to Corsica you really need to go it's spectacular.

The problem is is that, you know, people go up the gondola to get from the jetty where the ship because there's no um there's no warf there for the cruise ship. So, they have to anchor.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look for itineraries with bookend ports that are easy to get to by air.
Choose itineraries with extended stays or overnight stays to experience ports after cruise ships leave.
Pick itineraries with different ports to avoid over-tourism and meet local people.
