The "Cities of Antiquity & The Holy Land" itinerary brought us to ancient and stunningly beautiful destinations around the Mediterranean. Enjoy this photo journey of the unforgettable sites of antiquity, and the breathtaking scenery, you can experience onboard this incomparable Viking Cruise.
Experience one of the world's largest thermal spas--a few miles from Munich's 5-star international airport
The next time you travel to Munich's 5-Star airport (which is a destination in itself!), consider a visit to the Therme Erding--just 10 miles from the airport--to banish your jetleg and revive your body and spirit in healing mineral water. The 13th Century city of Erding is also a delight to explore, as is the beautiful Bavarian countryside.
Munich is just a short (23 mile) train ride away, so you can actually have the best of both worlds during your visit.

What you can see in 8 hours on the fascinating island of Hvar, Croatia
From the moment we set sail from Venice on Windstar Cruises' Star Legend (past an unforgettable view of the city as we made our way down the Grand Canal), we knew there would be many more such stirring moments on this incredible journey.
That moment came when our ship docked in the harbor of the island of Hvar, Croatia. We had a mere 8 hours to discover this historic island, which dates back to the 4th century BC., but within those hours, we managed to fall completely in love with the island of Hvar. I hope our photos reflect this love affair with this magical isle.
Check out our experiences there on our HVAR PHOTO GALLERY on USAToday/10Best.com.
