Western Mediterranean Cruise: Marseille, France

      Our seventh, and last full day on the cruise, was spent in Marseille, France. Marseille is the second largest city in France and one of the most visited. I didn't have much planned for us to do in Marseille. I wanted to at least see one church, buy some soap, and mostly walk around and explore the city. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. It was breezy and never felt too hot.

Western Mediterranean Cruise: Day at Sea and Valencia, Spain

Our fifth day was spent at sea. We had breakfast delivered to our room and all enjoyed eating on the balcony.

Western Mediterranean Cruise: Valletta, Malta and Gozo

   Get ready for a ton of pictures because this was our favorite stop on the cruise! 

   We spent our fourth day of our cruise in beautiful Malta. Out of all the places Aaron and I have visited since living in Europe, it's tied with Santorini, Greece as one of our favorites. I was sad when we had to leave, but was so happy we got to see such a beautiful place. 

 We woke up to this beautiful sunrise.

Westerm Mediterranean Cruise: Palermo, Sicily

We woke up to a really pretty view of Sicily on our third morning. We have never been to Sicily, so we were excited to finally get off the ship after having a relaxing two days on it.

Western Mediterranean Cruise: Civitavecchia, Italy

    Our second day on the ship stopped in Civitavecchia. Civitavecchia is located about an hour away form Rome, and since we have already been there we made the decision to stay on the ship for the day. We wanted this cruise to be a little more relaxed than last summers, so this made for a great start.
