From Milan to Venice · Europe (River) · 13 nights
The former River Countess was completely refurbished and reborn in 2020 as the S.S. La Venezia, with Italian inspired decor and sailing the Venetian Lagoon.
The reimagined S.S. La Venezia dazzles with its exquisite
interiors, featuring Venetian-inspired decor, new suites and three
dining venues to choose from.
Fashion capital of the world, economic powerhouse and the historic seat of the Kingdom of Lombardy, Milan is a dynamic and culturally rich city that belies its reputation as a sterile and snobbish financial centre. At its heart you will find iconic buildings such as La Scala opera house and the striking Duomo cathedral, and the Quadrilatero della Moda is the place to find the latest styles from Milan's top designers. Buzzing cafés and restaurants spill into the streets of the design district, Brera, which is also home to one of the world's premier collections of Italian art, the Pinacoteca di Brera.
The name Verona conjures up images of Shakespearean tragedy and feuding families, but there is more to this city than Romeo and Juliet. Verona has long been an important trading centre and boasts an impressive collection of Roman remains, including an outdoor arena that hosts a wonderful opera festival every summer.
Venice is a city like no other, a marble maze of turquoise canals criss-crossed by beautiful bridges, overflowing with palaces, churches and charming little piazzas. No matter how many times you’ve seen it in photographs, that first glimpse of the Grand Canal will simply take your breath away.
Situated on a small island at the southern entrance to the Venetian Lagoon, Chioggia is a pleasant fishing port that is sometimes described as a ‘miniature Venice’, complete with canals and some attractive historical architecture.
