Enjoy the Sights of Venice on a Venice and Po River Cruise:

Po River Cruise

The Michelangelo in Venice ©Travelsignposts

One of the greatest charms of  Venice is its Grand Canal, intricate network of winding waterways and lagoons and all the art, history, culture and everyday live that exists on these waterways.

If you love being on the water, here is a five-night Venice cruise that will allow you to holiday afloat in Venice and the Po River Delta.

Anyone who knows Venice will know that hotels along the Grand Canal are very expensive and although this cruise doesn’t travel a great distance away from Venice, it can be a nice home on the water for your Venice vacation.

The river boat is moored in Venice for three nights of the 5-night cruise.

Following is a sample 5-night itinerary taken from CroisiEurope’s “Venice and the River Po” cruise on the MS Michelangelo.

CroisiEurope is a major player in the European river cruising industry.  This is a French-owned, family-run company so on this cruise you can expect a distinctly French touch on cuisine and services.
