These days we prefer at least a two week cruise.

For a first one perhaps a week to the Caribbean to see how you like cruising
Totally agree the Baltic, North Sea, etc. St. Petersburg, and the Viking museum in Norway, and the overland we took to Lapland where we boarded our ship again (those not taking the overland trip, just stayed on board...it was one of the Holland American ships). Brought the "kids" up on cruise vacations, now one just returned with his family and called mom and dad: YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST CRUISE TO ABU DHABI.... they have been back SIX WEEKS now and still can't stop talking about how amazing it is ! !
