Switzerland, so realistically it'd have to be a European cruise. The Norwegian fjords are pretty accessible by car, which I've done and loved and should probably go back since it's been 13 years (whoa). Does anything spring to mind for you in that case? Maybe Finland-Estonia-St Petersburg? Balkans also I've thought of several times, but tbh I think I'd want a car as I really enjoy driving on terrible roads through mountains even though my wife gets carsick on curvy mountain roads.

I’m really not a cruise or guided tour man myself, but I’ve actually done a scandinavia-estonia-petersburg cruise due to family. You can do all the scandinavian places and talinn quite easily without a tour. St Petersburg you have to do a tour, you can’t go off the boat otherwise. Its a rather horrid one too, or at least the one I had. You end up waiting in line forever at the hermitage and the peter and paul fortress, get shuffled past all the art without much chance to enjoy it and get forced for way too long into multiple gift shops.

As for the boat itself, they are huge. Its not hard to find a quiet place to eat or read and those made up most of my on boat time.

The cruise was by MSC, i did 0 of the planning but it seemingly all went well
