Mother daughter foodie adventure on the Silver Moon in the Mediterranean

There's nothing quite as special as spending a week exploring the Danube River with your father!

Read about my fantastic Adriatic cruise with Ponant!

We spent a week aboard MS La Belle de L'Adriatique cruising the sunny Adriatic coastline. Starting in the Croatian port city of Dubrovnik, we sailed north to Šibenik, Korčula, Hvar and Split before heading south to Montenegro's medieval town of Kotor. We enjoyed sunny weather, delicious foods and stunning historical sites.

The sparkling Adriatic coast rewards with beautiful views, historical gems, and delicious cuisine!

Fulfilling a lifetime dream for my mom, Valetta, to visit Valletta, Malta on her birthday. We cruised aboard the Le Bougainville of Ponant. We visited so many sites and beautiful scenery. We saw temples and cathedrals, museums and ruins. We tasted local spices and strolled through markets. We even went to a movie set of The Count of Monte Cristo! …

Journey through Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary to experience the rich history and warm hospitality in this region. We experienced the culture up close through the old buildings and ruins that we toured. We ate wonderful food paired with wine while we sailed through the Iron Gates on the Danube River.

Our honeymoon cruise started in Istanbul, where we spent a few days before boarding our ship, the Wind Surf. From Istanbul, we cruised the gorgeous Mediterranean, stopping at Turkish towns and Greek islands along the way. We had blue skies and warm temperatures all the way to our final destination of Athens!
