I got well behind in wrapping up my blog from this amazing cruise….and for good reason. For one, after our long day excursion to Paris we were pretty tired….we also had to go back to Jacques for dinner, start packing, explore Copenhagen in a day, go back to Red Ginger for dinner, finish packing and leave the ship!
Since my last blog we've visited the famous port city of St. Malo, the historic village of Dinan, the French capital of Paris....and had a bit of a high seas drama. Not bad in a couple of days, eh?
It's a typical start to a European summer - one day hot, the next day wintry. It feels as though we are meandering through the seasons, but fortunately the changeable weather hasn't hampered our explorations of western France.....

She's the most specious ship yet from luxury line Oceania Cruises. James Sitters tells Rose Kelly and Peter Lynch what's on board the new class of ship, including restaurants, spas and suites.
