Countries: Italy and Greece - Rome and Athens
Number of Days: 10 during spring break
Cool Parts of Itinerary: Vatican tour, 3 day cruise
Number of Students on Trip: They had one bus, so however many that is - maybe 35?
Cost per Student (to the Travel Company): $3200 to the company, and my DS managed to spend about 1k on the ground. Next time, no credit card.

It was a great experience, but very pricey. We usually travel on points both airfare and hotel, so shelling out $ for this was a shock for DH.

NCS always runs international trips... in our experience they range from 3k - 5k and are always around 10 days.

My DC did a similar spring break trip. Also Greece and Italy. No cruise but they did Pompeii and other destinations. I recall the cost was close to $5000, but very little spending money. Lots of educational content and lecturing, maybe too much for DC. And crappy food - all set menus as tour group type restaurants. A good experience but very expensive.
