Grand Journey: Europe, the Mediterranean & Pyramids


Cruise overview
Itinerary
Venice
Welcome to Venice – a truly magical destination. With its grand palazzos, marble palaces and elaborate churches perched on a series of islands threaded with canals, it’s a place of incomparable beauty and fascinating history. A world of wonder awaits with a two-night Special Stay. Your haven of luxury in this busy city offers a wonderful place to relax before your journey begins.
Venice is a city unlike any other. No matter how often you’ve seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you’ll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif.
