Our Recommendation for the Royal Couple

By now, you’ve no doubt heard about the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. What does this have to do with travel, you ask? After reading this post from USAToday’s Cruise Log about whether or not the newly-engaged couple will go on a cruise for their honeymoon, we came up with a suggestion of our own.

Will and Kate, if a honeymoon at sea is in fact in your future, we recommend Norwegian’s 14-night Mediterranean cruise on the Norwegian Jade. The itinerary is as follows:

Day 1: Venice, Italy

Day 2: At Sea

Day 3: Corfu, Greece

Day 4: Santorini, Greece

Day 5: Mykonos, Greece

Day 6: Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

Day 7: At Sea

Day 8: Venice, Italy

Day 9: Dubrovnik, Croatia

Day 10: At Sea

Day 11: Piraeus (Athens), Greece

Day 12: Izmir, Turkey

Day 13: At Sea

Day 14: Split, Croatia

Day 15: Venice, Italy

Why do we think this cruise is perfect for a royal honeymoon? Besides the phenomenal itinerary, we think Will & Kate will feel right at home in the ship’s 3-bedroom Garden Villa (above), complete with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open up to a 1035-square-foot balcony, a living room, dining room, 3 separate bedrooms, and a private luxury bath with whirlpool tub. Oh, and don’t forget the butler service and access to the exclusive concierge lounge and private courtyard area (below) with pool, hot tub and sundeck.

When the newlyweds become hungry, they’ll have 12 dining options to choose from, including a steak house, a sushi bar, and a gourmet French restaurant. In between dining, the couple can enjoy a walk through the ship’s art gallery, shop at the Galleria Boutiques, or perhaps relax side-by-side at the Ying & Yang Health Spa & Beauty Salon.

What’s your recommendation for William and Kate’s honeymoon? Do you agree with our suggestion?
