Italian classics
From its source in the lush hillsides of Pian del Re to its mouth in the luscious Venetian Lagoon, the River Po takes in some of Italy’s most beautiful scenery. Flowing east to west, the river passes through stately Turin, home of the Italian royal family, before twisting through the verdant landscapes of Emilia-Romagna and Veneto. Guests can relax and enjoy a classic Italian espresso or a scoop of delicious, refreshing gelato on deck, or embark on a day trip to ornate Verona, the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. At the river’s end, board a gondola to explore the enchanting city of Venice from the canal, with its magical labyrinth of waterways and grand, must-see landmarks, including the Doge’s Palace and St Mark’s Basilica.
TRAVEL WITH Croisi Europe Cruises, has an all-inclusive seven-day trip that begins in the lakeside city of Mantua, before winding its way down the Po to Venice, with excursions to Verona and historic Padua. From £1,325pp. croisieurope.co.uk
