Itinerary Challenge 11 (Winners Edition) | 15 Sep 2012

[Sailaway487]

Itinerary Challenge is now two months old, and before it takes a break, here is a very special edition, the Winners Edition. Every itinerary that has won its round (apart from the last back-to-back edition) is included in this edition. This is to find the ultimate itinerary!

 

There's ten different itineraries to choose from, varying in destinations - from the canals of Venice to the wonders of the Fjords. Due to the fact there's a lot to choose from, and that it's a special edition, votes won't close for two weeks, so there's plenty of time to make your decision.

Since I missed the second to last through dithering, I am going to be decisive this time. Adriatic Adventure 2001, a nice mixture of Eastern and Western Med (even with 4 sea days). It would be perfect for me if it dropped Tunisia and included Kotor. La Spezia would be the icing on the cake.

 

I really fancy all of the Black Sea itineraries and would like to do one of these next.

adriatic 2012 for me

[kate52]

It was a difficult choice, but I went for the adriatic 2001. Has everything, including Valetta!! Doesn't have Kotor, though, and that's what made the choice so difficult.

I'm not so decisive, it's going to take me a while to make my mind up.

Very nearly impossible, a few of my favourites are in here.

Adriatic 2012 for me, fantastic itinerary and very special memories, would quite happily do it again and again and again....oh did I mention I would do it again :D

[happy v]

Good!:confused: :)

[kalos]

Adriatic Explorer for me but i wanted parts of the Adriatic Adventure as well :confused: :)

[Sailaway487]

Adriatic proving a popular destination again!

[Sailaway487]

Black Sea now also starting to get some interest...

[happy v]

After much deliberation I have decided to go with Fire and Ice. Must admit there was only a hairs breadth in it, so many fantastic cruises.

[Sailaway487]

Adriatic still just winning. Will it be the same next week? :confused:
