Wendy,
I concur. We have travelled extensively throughout Europe via rail and car, and the upcoming Norway sailing will be our first European cruise. We have been to Norway and "seen" the fjords, but I expect that the cruise will allow us to "experience" the fjords. Similar to how we "experienced" French Polynesia via the Paul Gauguin.
I do not really have any interest in a generic Mediterranean cruise (although I'm sure it would be enjoyable), but I am interested in "focus" cruises like the Greek Isles, St. Petersburg, and Black Sea. Other than that, I would rather concentrate time in a particular country or region via an independent land trip.
