The ship embarks in the beautiful city of Venice. If you have not been before, why not add on a couple of days stay in Venice before or after your cruise.

• Venice walking in Piazza San Marco: the only piazza in Venice, all other squares being campi or campielli. Its parades, festivities and markets have always drawn visitors.
