Italy river cruises
It’s difficult to describe Italy simply as there is much to say! Where to begin, and what to say that has not been said thousands of times before?
Italy is one of those countries that touches the depths of visitors’ hearts, memories and sweet dreams. No matter what you are looking for, you will find it in Italy.
During your stay in Venice, discover the amazing '' City of the Doges '' and its labyrinth of narrow streets bordered by these famous canals and crossed by innumerable bridges – each one more impressive than the last. Your ship is moored close to the iconic "Piazza San Marco" (Saint Mark’s square), it will take you only a few minutes to reach the city centre. Once there you can lose yourself in the calm and the contemplation of Venice and its lagoon.
Your trip to Italy will then take you along the river Po to the heart of northern Italy. There, visit Padua and its Basilica Saint Anthony, or Verona, city of art and love. It is in this city that Romeo and Juliet found love and tragedy and even today, we can still remember their passion.
During a cruise on the river Po, Veneto will be unveiled to you. You will see Venice from the water, moored along the quays of a city imagined for boats, then you will penetrate into the heart of the country, to discover its traditions.
Or choose a different trip and opt for a cruise on board the MS Belle of the Adriatic. You will see the most beautiful Amalfi Coast with idyllic landscapes from Naples. The coastline, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, amazes travellers with its intense colours and generous sunshine.
This is another part of Italy where you discover its white sandy beaches and small multicolored houses clinging to the rock..
