Itinerary

Day 1 UK - Milan Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your flight to Milan. Meet your Uniworld representative on arrival and transfer to the Starhotels Rosa Grand Milan or similar (5T) for two nights. Day 2 Milan Milan is a mecca for Italian fashionistas, famous for its innovative design and stylish flair. Venture inside the city’s Gothic cathedral, as well as Europe’s oldest shopping arcade. The highlight today is pure genius - Da Vinci’s revolutionary The Last Supper mural. Day 3 Milan - Verona - Venice En route to Venice, you’ll stop in the literary hometown of Shakespeare’s famously star-crossed teen lovers to see the sights and the famous balcony. Later, enjoy lunch at a historic wine estate owned by descendants of Dante, the great Italian poet who penned The Inferno. Once in magical Venice, board River Countess (5T) where you’ll begin your exploration of the ‘Queen of the Adriatic’. Day 4 Venice If ever there was a city that could be described as ‘bewitching’, Venice is it. An expert guide will show you iconic sites as well as quiet lanes and secret spots. Also on deck today: a scenic cruise around the Venetian Lagoon and an extremely rare after-hours visit to St Mark’s Basilica. A special Captain’s welcome reception and dinner will be prepared for you this evening. Day 5 Chioggia Join a local expert for a stroll around this picturesque fishing village, a popular place for artists, or take a bike ride along the beaches lining the lagoon. The seaside air and sweeping views are simply spectacular. Please note: The Italian Maritime Authorities require that the ship is only manned by crew during the Adriatic Sea passage. Day 6 Polesella (Bologna or Ferrara) If you have an appetite for pasta, head to Bologna today - the heart of Italian culinary traditions - to learn how to make (and eat) your own lunch. Or indulge your appetite for art with an excursion to Ferrara, an ancient centre for the arts that once rivalled Medici Florence. Day 7 Taglio di Po - Chioggia Chioggia is such a delight that we’ll return there today to experience something completely different. You can visit the village’s bustling once-a-week market or for something really unique, hop aboard a small boat to go mussel harvesting with local fishermen out in the lagoon. Please note: The Italian Maritime Authorities require that the ship is only manned by crew during the Adriatic Sea passage. Day 8 Venice Islands (Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello) Venice is an island surrounded by hundreds of smaller islands, three of which you’ll visit today - Burano, famous for its lace-makers and houses painted in eye-popping colours; Mazzorbo, where you’ll taste a historic golden-hued wine; and Torcello, home to beautiful Byzantine mosaics. Day 9 Venice If you love food, you’ll love today’s walking tour to the famous fish and produce market next to the Rialto Bridge. Or, join an art historian for a highlights tour of the Accademia gallery. A special Captain’s farewell reception and dinner will be prepared for you this evening. Day 10 Venice - UK Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.
