I think what I might do is the combination of the Greek Islands with the Baltics. There is a direct flight from Istanbul to Copenhagen so the transition would be easy. With the overnight it is no problem catching a 10.00 am plane. Then I can do two great cruises with one trip to Europe. It is the only combination that works.

The date are August 14 - August 21
Athens, Navplion, Santorini, Kusadasi, Rhodes, Mykonos, Istanbul Overnight - debark Istanbul next day.

August 21 - August 28
Copenhagen, Visby, Tallin, St Petersburg (3 days) Helsinki, Stockholm.

Will work on this with Regent and see what I can pull together. I think this will be great - Greek Islands and Baltics in one trip.

Just does not seem worth going all the way to Europe for just 7 days. I remember when I would ONLY go for 7 days.
