S.S La Venezia

The River Countess underwent a complete design renovation in 2020, debuting as the S.S. La Venezia to bring guests an enhanced luxury experience inspired by Northern Italy. The redesign of the ship drew influence from the fine Fortuny fabrics displayed prominently onboard. Murano glass, gilded accents, and artistic etched elements pay homage to popular Venetian aesthetics of the early 20th century, creating an onboard atmosphere that is at once elegant and nostalgic.

Launched in 2003 and remodelled in 2020 as la Venezia  specifically to cruise the Venice Lagoon; carrying upto 126 passengers in 63 staterooms. The boat is 110 metres long by 11.4 metres wide and has 3 decks plus an open air top deck. The boat features Ristorante Rialto, Hari’s Bar and Lounge, the Panini Bar, La Cantinetta, a fitness centre and the Serenity Spa.

Venice

History, architecture, dining, romance and pure wander lust through the cobbled streets and by the canals is what Venice is all about. Top souvenirs would be Venetian Glass (also known as Murano Glass) or the famous and flamboyant masks. Standing in the middle of the magnificent piazza San Marco is an experience in itself -once described by: Napoleon as the 'drawing room of Europe'.

St Mark's Basilica ,Doge's Palace and the clock tower built between 1496 and 1506 - are the city's main attractions. St. Mark's Basilica, built in the eleventh century, is the most famous and most recognizable of all the churches in the city of Venice. Its design is considered one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture in the world, known for its opulent design and gilded interior mosaics, and nicknamed "Church of Gold".

The magnificent Doge's Palace is one of the most important buildings in Venice; it was the centre of power, from where the Venetian Republic was ruled. No trip to Venice would be complete without a punt down one of the city's picturesque waterways in an iconic gondola.

Padua

Padua (Padova) is a lively historic city in northern Italy, celebrated for the Scrovegni Chapel, where Giotto’s 14th‑century frescoes transformed Western art. Its spiritual centerpiece is the Basilica of Saint Anthony, renowned for its mix of Romanesque, Gothic and Byzantine styles and treasured artworks.

Visitors also love Prato della Valle, one of Europe’s largest squares, encircled by statues and canals. Padua lies approximately 40 km from Venice (about 25 miles), making it an easy day trip by car or train.

Burano

Burano is a vibrant island in the Venetian Lagoon, famed for its brightly painted houses and centuries‑old lace‑making tradition. Its rainbow façades—once painted to help fishermen spot their homes through lagoon fog—create one of Italy’s most photogenic settings. Visitors can explore artisan lace workshops, stroll colorful canals, and enjoy fresh seafood in local trattorias. Burano lies about 11 km from central Venice and is easily reached by vaporetto in roughly 39–45 minutes. 

Chioggia

Chioggia, often called "Little Venice", is a colourful fishing town at the southern end of the Venetian Lagoon, known for its canals, seafood markets, medieval streets and vibrant maritime culture. Its lively Corso del Popolo, picturesque bridges such as Ponte di Vigo, and the scenic Canale Vena give the town its distinctive charm.
