Venice, Italy
Things to do & places to see
What better way to discover Venice than arriving by ship and then stepping into a gondola. See the city from the best viewpoint as you navigate round the canals past the magnificent villa, stopping off at St Mark's Square to stretch your legs and soak up some of the greatest views in the world including the Doge's Palace.
Don't forget to pay a visit to the islands of Murano and Burano, home to authentic Venetian glass and lace making.
The ship is moored in port.
