We are looking to go with friends on a cruise next year and I am hoping folks here have some ideas.

What we want: 6-8 night cruise, with minimal sea days. Interesting ports - no Caribbean itineraries. Preferably in May 2025.

We were thinking somewhere in Europe - but a few of us have been to most mediterranean ports. Most interesting itineraries that include spain/portugal or the canary islands seem to be at least 10, if not 12 days long.

Alternatives seem to be Greek Isles or Norwegian Fjords. Failing that - a Viking river cruise on the Danube or the Rhine.

Has anyone been on one of these? Any feedback? How’s May for these options?
