Tips

To extend the trip, consider adding a full day in Rome before the cruise or a day‑trip to the Swiss Alps from Zurich for breathtaking scenery. If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the Louvre in favor of a quick visit to the nearby Jardin des Tuileries, or replace the three‑night cruise with a two‑night one that still visits Mallorca and Valencia, saving both time and a portion of the cruise fare.
