After a wonderful time investigating Rome, we took the high speed train to Milan for a few days and then we made our way to Venice and enjoyed an 8 day cruise around the Venetian Lagoon. We saw glass being blown, saw the ancient art of lace making, viewed the steps that are taken to fashion a Gondolier’s Oar, took a gondola ride, enjoyed a luncheon at a very old Italian estate, complete with horses, and much more.(see below). Our ship, the S.S. LaVenezia was our home away from home with great accommodations, wonderful food and wine and great travel companions.
If you are planning to take a cruise, book early. The cruise lines are experiencing a major increase in the number of bookings and are now booking into 2025 and even 2026.
