The ‘must do port’ in 2014 is VENICE!!
i Why? Quite simply because Venice is cracking down on the number of cruise ships they are allowing in to Venice with immediate effect, and they are completely banning ships over 96,000 gross tonnes from November 2014. Venice is one of the worlds most popular cruise ports and one that…
