New Cruise Ports Await Your Call
It’s fun to revisit favorite cruise ports through the years, taking another look at timeless historic attractions and seeing new points of interest, too.
But, many of us are motivated to take another cruise by the opportunity to visit new places.
Founded in 1650 by King Frederick III, the old city walls still circle part of this former military fortress town. You can walk those old walls, encountering historical statues, cannons, gates and ramparts on your way.
Stop at the White Water Tower for beautiful views of the fort, the bridge to Funen Island, and the entire city. If you follow the Little Belt Bridge to Funen, you can tour Egeskov Castle, completed in 1554.
Or, take a cruise among the fjords, visit the town of Odense to see the birthplace of famed children’s book author Hans Christian Andersen, or take the opportunity to tour the Lego factory and Legoland in nearby Billund.
Set on an expansive Sicilian bay, Siracusa (Syracuse) was once a rival to Athens. It’s a treasure trove of ancient Greek and Roman ruins, including temples, amphitheaters and a castle. The Neapolis Archaeological Park contains a great number of spectacular ruins, including one of the largest remaining Greek theaters (16,000 seats) in the world.
Stroll around the historic center of the city to marvel at the winding streets, ancient stone buildings and the Spring of Arethusa. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, too, with vineyards on the rolling hills and majestic Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano, in the distance.
