Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Fly UK to Venice, Italy
Depart UK for Venice, overnight at hotel
Day 2
Venice, Italy
The arrival into Venice is one of the most magnificent in the world as the ship slips through the Grand Canal majestically passing Saint Mark’s Square & escorted by a flotilla of smaller craft. From the comfort on board ship you have a bird’s eye view across ancient Venice giving you a true appreciation of the size of the ship you are sailing on and the juxtaposition of modern luxury on board compared with the old world charms of the view. History, architecture, dining, , romance and pure wander lust through the cobbled streets and by the canals is what Venice is all about. Top souvenirs would be Venetian Glass (also known as Murano Glass) or the famous and flamboyant masks. Standing in the middle of the magnificent piazza San Marco is an experience in itself - once described by: Napoleon as the ‘drawing room of Europe’. St Mark’s Basilica ,Doge’s Palace and the clock tower built between 1496 and 1506 - are the city's main attractions. St. Mark's Basilica, built in the eleventh century, is the most famous and most recognizable of all the churches in the city of Venice. Its design is considered one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture in the world, known for its opulent design and gilded interior mosaics, and nicknamed "Church of Gold". The magnificent Doge's Palace is one of the most important buildings in Venice; it was the centre of power, from where the Venetian Republic was ruled. No trip to Venice would be complete without a punt down one of the city's picturesque waterways in an iconic gondola. Prices vary according to the time of day you want to go and the route you want to take. Prices below are for the hire of the gondola, for six passengers or less. Having your own personal crooner will push the fare up.

Try the local Kumquat liquor or simply watch the world go by with an ice cold frappe..
