Lagoon Splendor: Culture, Style & Venetian Grace

Lagoon Splendor: Culture, Style & Venetian Grace

About This Cruise

When Venice is bathed in a soft autumn light and the lagoon becomes quieter, a journey begins that celebrates the magic of the quiet season. Away from the hustle and bustle of summer, you will experience the city and its surroundings in their most authentic form - clear, atmospheric and full of cultural depth.

From the picturesque alleyways of Venice, we head out to the islands of the lagoon: to Mazzorbo with its vines and quiet lakeside paths, to the colorful Burano, where bright colors are reflected in the water, to Torcello, the cradle of Venetian history, and to Murano, where centuries-old glass art is still alive. In Chioggia, the little Venice on the southern edge of the lagoon, you can expect maritime flair and the real life of the locals - charming, down-to-earth and characterized by genuine Italian joie de vivre.

Back in Venice, enjoy the city in a rare moment of tranquillity: cafés invite you to linger, fog settles over the canals and every walk becomes an encounter with history, art and style. A journey that slows you down - and shows the beauty of Italy from its quiet, elegant side.

Then all you have to do is step ashore and enjoy the city’s special atmosphere at your own pace.
