River cruises in Venice - floating hotel near St Marks Square

Venice City Cruise Breaks and River Po Cruises

The unique city of Venice is spread across 117 islands connected by 409 bridges, a fascinating maze of canals, narrow streets and small squares bordered by beautiful churches and ancient palaces.

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.

Our Venice cruise ship, MS Michelangelo, moors along the quayside within walking distance of St Mark's Square. Your floating hotel is a superb base for exploring Venice and the islands of the lagoon - and with all meals included, normally plus free wine and beer with lunch and dinner. Excellent value!

All our Venice cruise breaks give ample time to enjoy Venice, and also include short trips across the Venice lagoon. Optional excursions include the famous Venice lagoon islands of Murano and Burano with their specialist shops and glass workshops.

Coveted through the ages by aristocrats and invaders alike, Italy's River Po Valley overflows with a wealth of art, culture and tradition. Longer Venice cruise breaks sail this fascinating area onboard the MS Michelangelo to discover the cradle of the Renaissance. Optional visits include the renowned cities of Padua, Mantua, Ferrare and Verona of Romeo and Juliet fame.

Our unique Venice cruise breaks are an excellent and superb value way to discover and enjoy Venice.
