Voyage highlights

Discover Venice and the Northern Italian Coast

Venice needs no introduction – but experiencing it from the water changes everything. This voyage centers on a rare advantage: your floating boutique hotel doesn't just anchor you in an unbeatable Venice location, it opens the door to a string of lagoon towns most travelers never reach.

Drift out to Burano, Mazzorbo, and Torcello, where pastel-painted houses line quiet canals and small shops spill out along the water's edge. Head south to Chioggia, a working fishing port with a slower, more local rhythm than its famous neighbor. Along the way, the region's wine and cooking take center stage – each stop bringing its own flavors to the table.
