Cruise Guide to Europe and the Mediterranean

I'm very pleased with the Eyewitness Travel Guides in general, and specifically with the Europe & Mediterranean edition. I especially like the Survivors Guide and Traveler Needs sections. Other highlights include the wonderful graphics and color illustrations, compact size, and a unique ability to not only recommend the most important things to see and do, but also point out the unique and often off the beaten path places.

I used this new guide while on a cruise in the Norwegian fjords. It was absolutely terrific - there was great information on Bergen and a wonderful diagram which showed the geology of the fjords. My next vacation will be to Portugal and the Mediterranean, and I'm using the guide to help plan my time in Lisbon and Seville. There seem to be plenty of useful tips on local markets and places of interest. And the beautiful pictures make the book a great souvenir.
