I'd travel light.  I don't know what body you're taking, but on the cruise,
you'll be far away from the castles and such, but you'll also stop in some
towns on the trip, so the standard sightseeing lenses will do fine.  Take
Kyle Cassidy's old advice and stop in the shops and buy some postcards for
the stuff you can't reach with whatever focal length you carry.

I'd carry a 35 and a 50, unless you have one of the higher rez bodies, then
I'd take a 28 and a 50.

Enjoy yourself.  Eat Brats and drink wine.  It is a beautiful place.

Regards,

Sonny
