“...VENICE MY DREAM BECAME MY ADDRESS” Marcel Proust
Today, Venice is rightly regarded as one of the most beautiful and architecturally enchanting cities in the world. The Byzantine splendour of St Mark's, the romance of the canals and the wealth of artistic treasures make Venice an essential destination. This cruise will explore the origins of the might of Venice and visit the outposts of the Empire on the sea route to Istanbul. On your journey you will follow the path of the Venetians down the Adriatic, around the tip of Greece to Crete and on to Istanbul.
