Venice (Chioggia), Italy

Venice On Your Own

A Scenic Transfer to Venice’s Renowned Piazza Discover the fabled city of Venice, from its lagoon to famous St. Mark’s Square, during an independent exploration. From your berth in Chioggia, set off on a leisurely panoramic cruise, passing magnificent waterside palazzos and piazzas and peering down the lapping, narrow canals that weave their way into this UNESCO World Heritage Site’s medieval corridors. Disembark at the landing pontoon next to Palazzo Cornoldi, then begin your exploration of Venice. You may decide to take a short walk to beautiful St. Mark’s Square, crossing the four elegant bridges that link the waterfront. Enjoy free time to visit the splendid Gothic-Byzantine St. Mark’s Basilica and its grand Campanile bell tower and admire the Doge’s Palace, Piazza San Marco and other nearby attractions. At the end of your stay in Venice, you will return to Palazzo Cornoldi and begin the transfer back to your ship.
