Here are three of Katie's top destination picks that they'd recommend to any cruiser.
A place where every corner looks like a postcard, Cinque Terre is the perfect blend of authentic Italy and breathtaking coastal scenery. Five colourful cliffside villages—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore—offer dramatic sea views and winding medieval lanes. You can hike the famous Sentiero Azzurro for panoramic vistas, sip crisp Ligurian wine straight from terraced vineyards, and enjoy the freshest seafood by the waterfront. Cinque Terre feels intimate, charming and effortlessly photogenic.
View Destination
Banff is a breathtaking escape into Canada’s wild heart, where turquoise lakes, glacier-carved mountains and dense pine forests create cinematic scenery at every turn. I visit here during winter for a skiing holiday and the scenery was like nothing I’d seen before. Located in the Rockies, it’s a paradise for outdoor lovers where you can hike to secluded viewpoints, paddle on Lake Louise, soak in natural hot springs or spot wildlife like elk and bears. The town of Banff itself blends alpine charm with great food, cosy lodges and a welcoming, adventurous spirit. I would love to pair this with an Alaska cruise in the future.
View Destination
Dubrovnik in early November is the best of both worlds: warm Mediterranean days without the rush of summer crowds. You can wander the legendary city walls almost uninterrupted, soaking in views of terracotta rooftops and the Adriatic’s deep blue. The Old Town feels more authentic at this time of year, with locals reclaiming the cafés and restaurants. It’s still pleasant enough for seaside strolls, island-hopping to Lokrum or sipping wine on a sunlit terrace, but everything feels calmer, slower and more intimate.
