11 Days Slovenia, Venice & the Jewels of Veneto - S.S. La Venezia

Day 2- Ljubljana

In the pedestrian city center of Ljubljana, a little capital city with outsized charm, you’ll find a postcard in the making everywhere your eyes turn. Pastel buildings, attractive architecture—and no cars or throngs of tourists getting in the way of it all.

---

Day 3- Ljubljana (Lake Bled)

A popular day trip destination from Ljubljana, Lake Bled offers a beautiful natural landscape with unique character. Surrounded by forest-covered mountains—upon which the imposing Bled Castle is perched—the expansive, strikingly blue lake feels preserved from the outside world. Sitting in the center of the lake is its iconic island, barely large enough for the little church whose tower pokes out from amongst its greenery.

Day 4 - Ljubljana (Postojna), Transfer to Venice (Embark)

En route to Venice today, stop for a visit at the Postojna Caves, a breathtaking subterranean world of stalactites and stalagmites.

This evening you’ll arrive in Venice and embark. Unpack, relax, and enjoy your first evening on the Venetian Lagoon. A compulsory safety drill and briefing, along with the welcome briefing, will be organized shortly before dinner, but this will be a quick and easy part of your journey.

With your early morning arrival at Doge’s Palace, you’ll be able to marvel at the estate in total peace.
