Azamara has announced that it will return to Venice, beginning April 3, 2023, as part of 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.
“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 neighboring towns such as Chioggia, which only smaller ships can visit,” said Mike Pawlus, Azamara’s Director of Strategic Itinerary & Destination Planning. “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, Azamara presents guests with the opportunity to explore Chioggia, which has recently experienced a rise in tourism thanks to the flourishing bacari, bars serving wine and finger food along the central canal, Riva Vena. Travelers can enjoy the city’s canals, historic churches, sandy beach, and undiscovered scenery.
The upcoming sailings to Venice include a "7-Night Italy Intensive Voyage". This country intensive itinerary offers late nights in Ravenna, Kotor and Amalfi, and an overnight stay in Rome, giving travelers plenty of time to explore spectacular views, ancient cities and the local culture in each destination.
The "7-Night Amalfi & Dalmatian Coasts Voyage" offers travelers an opportunity to dive deeper into the beautiful shorelines of the Amalfi and Dalmatian Coasts, with four late stays, including Sorrento, Kotor, Dubrovnik and Sibenik as well as an overnight stay in Venice, where guests can enjoy people watching in the Piazza San Marco, sampling Veneto wines, and admiring Murano’s handcrafted glass and swathes of silk.
Azamara is also offering an array of immersive shore excursions to help guests dive deeper into Venice’s history and local life. These include an intimate evening gondola ride accompanied by a local singer and an accordionist, creating a classic and romantic Venetian experience; a motorboat cruise to neighboring 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; and a guided walking tour with a local expert including visits to the church of Saint Rocco and Campo San Polo, one of the oldest squares in Venice.
