Venice, The Dolomites & Festa del Redentore

Some places are unforgettable on their own. This journey brings together two of Italy's most extraordinary regions into one remarkable experience.

At its heart is a 7-night Uniworld river cruise aboard the elegant S.S. La Venezia, sailing through Venice, the Venetian Lagoon, and the Po Delta. Along the way you'll explore the colorful island of Burano, peaceful Mazzorbo, historic Padua, charming Chioggia, and, of course, Venice itself—one of the world's most captivating cities. Carrying just 126 guests, S.S. La Venezia offers an intimate experience inspired by the elegance and artistry of Venice itself.

For those wishing to experience even more of Italy, an optional four-night pre-cruise extension to the Dolomites offers an entirely different side of the country. Based in the charming alpine village of Ortisei in Val Gardena, you'll discover soaring mountain peaks, emerald meadows, picturesque villages, and some of the most breathtaking scenery anywhere in Europe before returning to Venice to begin your cruise.

Then, just when you think the journey couldn't become any more memorable, it does.

Your final evening aboard coincides with the Festa del Redentore, one of Venice's oldest and most cherished traditions. Dating back to 1577, the celebration transforms the lagoon into a floating festival as hundreds of beautifully decorated boats gather beneath the stars. Then the night sky erupts in a spectacular fireworks display over St. Mark's Basin—a breathtaking grand finale unlike anything else in Europe.

It is the perfect ending to a journey that begins among the soaring peaks of the Dolomites and concludes beneath one of the world's most spectacular fireworks displays.
