Rarely considered a cruise over the years preferring, initially, for our overseas junkets to do bus (err coach) tours in both Britain and Europe with Trafalgar and subsequently Insight. Having gained a little confidence from the escorted tours we did four or five tours in Europe on our own travelling by rail between places that we liked. Our most recent trip being in 2017.

Now, in our early 80s, we are done with large expeditions (everything/everywhere is a large expedition from Oz) we have momentarily considered a cruise. But with whom and where to we ask ourselves? Cruises from Melbourne are diminishing both in numbers, routes and operators. There is not a great choice it seems.

Put simply, with absolutely no experience we are wary (scared) of a cruise! Viking, I think, advertises 'no kids or casinos and all in fares which appeals (but as a non drinker no doubt expensive) but apparently they rarely visit Melbourne anyway.

Any thoughts/suggestions or whatever as a starting point.

In all probability we will do nothing despite what you may say. I am pretty good at that.
