One of the most unique cities on Earth, Venice is a place of unmatched beauty and a feast of fantastic landmarks and iconic sites. View the delightful crisscrossing canals, the gondolas, arched bridges, palaces, and piazzas. Your included orientation features a boat ride to St. Mark’s Square, and time at leisure for a chance to explore on your own or to join our signature optional excursion. You can also just relax with a cappuccino at one of the many cafes in the centre.

Say arrivederci to Venice and cross into neighbouring Slovenia. Discover the picturesque fishing village of Piran, with an enchanting medieval square lined with cafes. Continue to the spa town of Portoroz (Port of Roses).

Enjoy a free day to explore the pretty seaside resort on the Adriatic. You could pamper yourself at one of the wellness centres, or try your luck at a casino. Alternatively, we offer an optional excursion to the Istrian Peninsula, home to Porec with its beautiful beaches and the Roman temple dedicated to Neptune, and to pretty Rovinj

Cross the border into Croatia, then relax and drink in the natural beauty of Opatija, a town nestled between the sparkling waters of the Adriatic and a lovely forest of bay laurels.
