When people think about taking a cruise, it’s natural for thoughts to turn to the coast, beaches and the sea. However, one of the best things about taking a cruise is the variety of ports available to visit. Some of the most amazing and awe inspiring cities in the world can be visited either directly by ship or via a short transfer from a nearby port.

Our world’s cities offer us a unique perspective on the culture in that area of the world, as well as an unending list of activities to experience. Whether it’s historical land marks, beautiful vistas or modern high-tech attractions, a day in any of the world’s top cities can make the memories of a lifetime.

The Conde Nast Traveler has published it’s own list of the ’50 Most Beautiful Cities In The World’ with the majority being either a cruise port in itself or accessible from one nearby. The list highlights some of the most stunning cities from Singapore to Barcelona, via Hong Kong and Cape Town.

The list is fantastic and will really inspire you to consider where you should visit next. In our opinion 50 cities clearly isn’t quite enough though, as some fantastic places, such as Copenhagen, don’t even make the list!

So, sit back, grab a coffee and have a look at some of the most stunning cities in the world. Which will you visit next?  View the article on Conde Nast Traveler >
