Po River Cruises

A Po river cruise and la Serenissima go hand in hand. Not only is it the traditional name for the Republic of Venice, but it also translates to “the most serene”. And truly, the Po has perfected the term.

Gently taking you past scenic mountains, you’ll experience a holiday where hectic is dialled all the way down – and quiet calm radiates with every second.

Along the way, you’ll experience Italy at its best. Winding through Venice’s Grand Canal, stepping ashore presents a who’s who of Italian icons – from St. Mark’s Basilica, the masterpiece of Byzantine architecture, to Doge’s Palace, the city’s government seat and an incredible feat of Gothic design.

Or perhaps Verona will win your heart. Beyond its Shakespearean inspiration, expect to see impressive bridges, beautifully sculpted gardens and a 1st-century amphitheatre that’s still in incredible condition.

Hidden gems await too, with the Venetian lagoon housing some of the best-kept secrets in its smaller islands. There’s Burano, dotted with brightly-coloured houses and famed for its lace crafting. And on Murano meanwhile, you’ll be able to see glass-making artisans at work, an island speciality that dates all the way back to the 13th century.
