Azamara has announced its return to Venice, beginning April 3, 2023 – part of the Azamara Journey’s® 12-Night The Best of The Med Voyage.
Starting next spring, the line’s four-ship fleet will access the Venetian Lagoon ports of Chioggia and Fusina, allowing guests to explore Venice with ease.
Mike Pawlus, Azamara’s Director of Strategic Itinerary & Destination Planning, said:
“Thanks to our longstanding relationship with the local officials and port authorities of Venice, we’re thrilled to not only bring our guests back to this historic canal city but also to allow them to discover the wonders of neighbouring towns such as Chioggia, which only smaller ships can visit.
“We look forward to once again immersing our guests in the rich local culture and amazing historical sites that the destination has to offer.”
In addition to gaining easy access to the heart of Venice, guests will have the unique opportunity to explore Chioggia, which has recently experienced a rise in tourism.
Travellers can enjoy the city’s charming canals, historic churches, beautiful sandy beaches, and undiscovered scenery.
Highlights of the upcoming sailings to Venice include:
- 7-Night Italy Intensive Voyage with late nights in Ravenna, Kotor and Amalfi, and an overnight stay in Rome.
- 7-Night Amalfi & Dalmatian Coasts Voyage with four late stays, including Sorrento, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Sibenik and Venice.
Shore excursions are also available including:
An intimate evening gondola ride accompanied by a local singer and an accordionist
A motorboat cruise to neighbouring isles, Murano and Burano, where guests will enjoy a tour of an acclaimed glass-blowing factory, as well as a demonstration of traditional lace-making techniques.
A guided walking tour with a local expert including visits to the beautiful church of Saint Rocco and Campo San Polo, one of the oldest squares in Venice.
