MEET YOUR SPECIAL GUEST
Rick Stein CBE is an English chef, restaurateur, TV presenter and author of more than 25 books. He has made over 30 TV programmes – his latest being Rick Stein’s Cornwall. Rick has also cooked for the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
The Veneto region of Italy has quaint and colourful islands, extraordinary architecture, magnificent displays of art and a deeply rooted history. With canals and waterways separating the region’s highlights, a cruise is a wonderful way to explore Venice and beyond.
Spend seven days getting to know the Venetian Lagoon aboard elegant river ship SS La Venezia. Hosting 126 guests, it’s a small ship promising excellent, attentive service. It was completely renovated in 2020 with opulent furnishings that reflect the classic style of Venice.
Special guest Rick Stein will join your trip for its final few days, accompanying you on a tour to Rialto food market in Venice, before hosting a cooking demonstration and taking questions from guests.
You’ll also have exclusive access to famous locations while they’re closed to the public and the opportunity to see them when they’re free from crowds. Step inside St Mark’s Basilica after nightfall to witness an atmospheric lighting ceremony, and venture inside the church on Torcello before it opens to the public to appreciate its tranquillity.
