Venice
Morning optional excursions:
Authentic: guided tour of the Doge's Palace. Also known as the... see+ Palazzo Ducale, the Doge's Palace is one of Venice's most emblematic buildings. Built in the 11th century as the residence and seat of government of the Republic of Venice, it is renowned for its imposing architecture and richly ornate interior decoration. Stroll through the rooms of the palace, admiring paintings by Tintoretto and Veronese, then cross the famous Bridge of Sighs to reach the "prison". Built in the 16th century, it was used to take prisoners from the courtroom to the dungeon. From the balconies and windows, you'll also enjoy splendid views of the Serenissima and its canals. After the tour, enjoy free time to explore St. Mark's Square.
Experience Venetian handicrafts. As you wander through the narrow streets of Venice, you'll discover some magical places. For centuries, the city has been home to a wide range of handicrafts, only a few of which have survived to the present day. You'll plunge into the heart of Venetian craftsmanship with a visit to a "squero" or shipyard, where the Serenissima's gondolas are still built, repaired and maintained today. From structure to oars, ornaments and decorative carvings, many craftsmen must work together and combine their talents and special skills to create unique pieces so that every gondolier can stroll the canals of Venice. Then, during a visit to a mask-making workshop, you'll discover the secrets and meanings of these symbols of the city and its Carnival. Considered jewels for their beauty and refinement, they are generally made from materials such as papier-mâché, straw, fabric and leather, and decorated with elements such as paint, pearls, precious stones or metal ornaments. Among the most famous masks, you may recognize the Doctor of the Plague, the Bauta, as well as characters from the Commedia Dell Arte, such as Harlequin, Pantaloon and Columbine.
Afternoon at leisure in Venice. Take time to discover or rediscover the world's most romantic city, and reach the Rialto, the city's emblematic bridge over the Grand Canal. From the bridge, you'll have a breathtaking view of the canal and the historic buildings that surround it.
Free evening in Venice.

Venice Mazzorbo Burano Mazzorbo
Morning cruise in the Venetian lagoon. From the sun deck, you'll gaze at the silhouettes of... see+ churches and palaces silhouetted against the horizon. At the heart of this labyrinth of canals and islands, you'll enjoy a unique experience as you admire the scenery and the ballet of the many boats using the channels. You'll reach the island of Mazzorbo, linked by a pedestrian bridge to the charming island of Burano.
Free time to explore the island of Burano. Just a few minutes' walk from the boat, you'll stroll through the heart of this island, famous the world over for its lace, but also for the magnificent little colorful houses that line the canals of this fishing village. Mid-afternoon, optional authentic excursion/experience: wine tasting at the Venissa estate. The island of Mazzorbo harbors a well-kept secret: the vines of the Dorona variety, from which Gianluca Bisol and his son Matéo make their Venissa wine. It was while walking on the island of Torcello some 15 years ago that Gianluca Bisol spotted a few vines in a garden near the cathedral that were about to be uprooted by the owner. He had a strong intuition and asked to have a vine of this variety analyzed before it was uprooted. The result was a revelation for Gianluca: it was the last 150 vines of Dorona, the little golden grape (hence its name) whose white wine was served at the banquets of the Doges of Venice in the past, and which would die out and disappear for good in the days to come. The Bisol family has revived Dorona, a rare, unique and precious wine that inherits its traditions from ancient Venice.
Free evening in Mazzorbo. Discover the timeless atmosphere of this small island, far from the hustle and bustle of the Serenissima.

Chioggia Mazzorbo Padua Venice
Morning cruise to Chioggia. You'll cross the Venetian lagoon, a vast enclosed basin stretching 48... see+ km. Since the dawn of time, visitors have admired the lagoon's bewitching and enchanting panoramas. To the south, a spit of land known as the Lido protects the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. Enjoy this spectacular view with a typical aperitivo on the sun deck.
In the afternoon, optional excursions:
Authentic: visit Padua, city of Saint Anthony. A city of art and science, Padua is a must-see in the Veneto region. The city extends around the medieval heart, dotted with palaces and charming squares such as the piazza delle Erbe and the Prato della Valle, a vast square surrounded by canals and a double row of statues. You'll visit the Basilica of St. Anthony, whose majestic edifice reveals a strong influence from St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, while its slender apse and nine radiating chapels are Gothic in style.
Experience: Palladian villas. The Palladian villas were built along the Brenta canal as secondary residences for the aristocrats who lived in the Serenissima Republic. These sumptuous villas, the work of famous architects and decorated with frescoes by exceptional painters, developed the "vacation" phenomenon between the 15th and 16th centuries. Departure by coach for a panoramic tour of this region, followed by a visit to Villa Pisani, a magnificent villa famous for its beauty and the majesty of its park with fountains and pools, or La Malcontenta, designed by Palladio.
Return on board. Sail back to Venice at sunset, a fascinating sight.

Morning optional excursions:
Authentic: guided tour of San Marco Basilica. With its oriental-style... see+ domes, flamboyantly crowned tympanums, polychrome marble and mosaics, the Basilica of San Marco is a jewel of unprecedented delicacy and richness when the midday sun reveals every detail. The basilica contains over 8,000 square meters of mosaics, most of them in gold. The golden background not only creates a mystical atmosphere, but is also embellished by a rich iconography of Christian art.
Experience a gourmet stroll through Venice and its hidden quarters. Taste the flavors of Venice on this guided walking tour. Your first stop will be one of the most famous "pasticcerias", where you'll enjoy a delicious cappuccino accompanied by an assortment of typical Venetian cookies. You'll then stroll through the San Polo district, the oldest part of the city, where the famous Rialto market has been held for almost a thousand years.
You'll be immersed in the characteristic atmosphere of this market, where fresh fruit and vegetables take pride of place. A meeting place for the inhabitants of the lagoon city who come here to do their shopping, you'll discover a relaxed atmosphere and an ideal place to discover the culture and culinary traditions of Venice. The liveliest part of the market is undoubtedly the fish market. The stalls are often colorful and attractive, with fish and seafood displayed in a way that attracts the interest of shoppers. Afterwards, you'll join a typical "osteria" and discover Venetian gastronomy as you sample the small tapas known as "cicchetti", a culinary specialty originating in Italy and very popular in Venice.
Afternoon at leisure to continue your discovery of Venice. Take the opportunity to get off the beaten track, stroll through the winding "calli", pass through the "sottoporteghi" (passages), discover hidden bridges and countless small churches. And don't forget to keep your eyes peeled, for there are treasures to be found around every corner.
