Venice and the Po River Cruises

On this unique Italian coast, lagoons are separated from the sea by an offshore bar forming the beautiful holiday beaches of Venice Lido and Bibione. Beyond is a Mediterranean countryside of wheatfields, orchards, vineyards, and olive groves.

Venice is one of the world's most fascinating and unique cities. Once the capital of an imperial republic, until overthrown by Napolean in 1797, it controlled much of the trade to the Adriatic and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Timeless Venice is a city of history, art and romance where heritage and legend are ever present amongst the canals of the Venetian lagoon.

The heart of the city is located around St Mark's Square, with its Cathedral. Wander through the many narrow alleyways, visit the famous Rialto Bridge and Grand Canal and discover some of Venice's incredible Gothic palaces - most notably the Palace of the Doges, who ruled the republic, and the infamous Bridge of Sighs.

Cruise across the Venice lagoon to the famous islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello and enjoy the specialist shops and glass workshops on these islands.

Coveted through the ages by aristocrats and invaders alike, Italy's River Po Valley overflows with a wealth of art, culture and tradition. Sail through this fascinating area onboard the MS Michaelangelo and discover the cradle of the Renaissance. Visit the renowned cities of Padua, Mantua and Verona of Romeo and Juliet fame.
