People who hate cruises just haven’t done them right. I’ve taken tons of cruises around the world (still need to do a South America Patagonia one), and I promise, it’s the absolute best way to see multiple cities in one trip without the hassle of constantly moving in and out of hotels. Plus, instead of having to don comfy travel clothes, you can dress to the nines on cruises! You can even try out the sailor look (couture style, of course). Try to avoid heels, though, especially if you’re traveling through rough waters – wedges and flats will keep you high and dry. My next trip is a wine cruise to the Italian Riviera, which means I should really stick to flats if you get my drift. Can’t wait!!

Atluzarra Ikat-Print Ankle Strap Pumps: A heel for a daring seafarer! The ankle straps will hold you in, but make sure to keep your first mate close at hand. The gorgeous ikat is worth the risk! At Saks Fifth Avenue for $680.
