Setting sail from Milan
Fashion capital of the world, economic powerhouse and the historic seat of the Kingdom of Lombardy, Milan is a dynamic and culturally rich city that belies its reputation as a sterile and snobbish financial centre. At its heart you will find iconic buildings such as La Scala opera house and the striking Duomo cathedral, and the Quadrilatero della Moda is the place to find the latest styles from Milan's top designers. Buzzing cafés and restaurants spill into the streets of the design district, Brera, which is also home to one of the world's premier collections of Italian art, the Pinacoteca di Brera.
27 April
Italy: Verona
The name Verona conjures up images of Shakespearean tragedy and feuding families, but there is more to this city than Romeo and Juliet. Verona has long been an important trading centre and boasts an impressive collection of Roman remains, including an outdoor arena that hosts a wonderful opera festival every summer.
28-29 April
Italy: Venice
Venice is a city like no other, a marble maze of turquoise canals criss-crossed by beautiful bridges, overflowing with palaces, churches and charming little piazzas. No matter how many times you’ve seen it in photographs, that first glimpse of the Grand Canal will simply take your breath away.
30 April - 1 May
Italy: Chioggia
Situated on a small island at the southern entrance to the Venetian Lagoon, Chioggia is a pleasant fishing port that is sometimes described as a ‘miniature Venice’, complete with canals and some attractive historical architecture.

4-7 May
Arriving in Rome (Civitavecchia)
One of the world's great cities, Rome continues to dazzle and delight visitors with a potent mix of architectural marvels, continent-defining history and buzzing nightlife. As the saying goes, the city wasn't built in a day, and if you want to make the most of Rome you'll need to spend at least a couple of nights here. The Colosseum, the Vatican and the Forum are among the big ticket items, with the crowds to match, though in truth you will find history around almost every corner.
Don't miss
The Via Appia - this ancient Roman road is now part of a national park, and closed to car traffic on Sundays. Take a picnic, stroll, and visit the extraordinary catacombs.
Your home from home
The former River Countess is reborn after an extensive refurbishment as the S.S. La Venezia, the newest 'Super Ship' to join the Uniworld fleet.
What we love
The reimagined S.S. La Venezia dazzles with its exquisite interiors, featuring Venetian-inspired decor, new suites and three dining venues to choose from.
