      A cruise would be a great option. There is not a ton of walking and you can really relax onboard.

    • Lueftner CruisesOperatorWritten May 2025

      Lueftner does not have the schedules out for 2027 as of yet. We will have to wait a year and a half for them to be released. In the interm would you be interested in a cruise in 2025 or 2026?
