Our honeymoon cruise took us to two ports in Italy--Venice and Bari. Venice was a very popular port for people joining and leaving the cruise--I would say the majority of passengers actually began and ended there.

Honeymoon Travel: Turkey
I have wanted to visit Turkey for a long time. When we started thinking about our honeymoon, I really thought we should go to Turkey and Greece. They are close to one another, it would be a great blend of history and culture but also beach and relaxation. However, when I started to look into …
