Renowned for being one of the most romantic places in the world, this enchanting corner of Italy boasts tight-knit alleys fringed by quaint coffee shops, ornate ancient palaces, a fascinating art scene, plus \u2013 and most importantly &#8211; serenading gondoliers navigating a labyrinth of turquoise canals. Listed as a World Heritage Site, Venice is a treasure trove of history and culture, with each wonderful piazza telling its own unique story\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When is the best time to cruise from Venice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The best time to cruise from Venice is generally during the spring, summer, or fall season from early April to late November &#8211; especially if you\u2019re heading to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/mediterranean-cruises\">Mediterranean <\/a>\u2013 since this is when you\u2019ll experience the best weather and calmer seas.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paramountcruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Holland America's ship Nieuw Amsterdam sailing into Venice\" class=\"wp-image-492\" style=\"width:512px;height:512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/45259839_495889574247102_2559963665633640448_n.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which cruise lines sail from Venice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Pretty much every cruise line sets sail from Venice, from mainstream brands such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/msc-cruises\">MSC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/norwegian-cruise-line\">NCL <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/royal-caribbean\">Royal Caribbean<\/a>, to luxury cruise lines such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruise-lines\/silversea\">Silversea <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/seabourn\">Seabourn <\/a>\u2013 so you\u2019ll have plenty of choice. Following the ban on large cruise ships in Venice, cruise ships now actually depart from alternative ports in the region. Some of the nearby ports that serve as departure points for cruises include Trieste, Ravenna, Monfalcone and Marghera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where do cruises from Venice go to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You can visit some of the most beautiful places in Europe and beyond when you embark on a cruise from Venice. Some of the most popular destinations on the list include those on the Dalmatian Coast, Greek Isles and Eastern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/mediterranean-cruises\">Mediterranean<\/a>, while some of the more boutique itineraries may whisk you further to destinations such as Israel or Egypt. If you\u2019re boarding a longer cruise, you may also visit the Western <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/mediterranean-cruises\">Mediterranean<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/mediterranean-cruises\"><strong>Find Your Next Mediterranean Cruise<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should you do whilst you&#8217;re in Venice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Home to a wealth of history, culture, and art, it\u2019s no surprise Venice is one of the most popular destinations to visit in Italy. There are innumerable things to see and do in this jam-packed pocket of Italy, whether you\u2019re on a couple\u2019s city break or have the little ones in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Even if you do nothing but wander the atmospheric streets in Venice, you\u2019ll still be amazed by the magnificent architecture that line its cobbles, from the sights at Piazza San Marco to the thriving Rialto markets. While you\u2019re here, you must tick off some of the city\u2019s most iconic landmarks, including the Basilica di San Marco (a Byzantine marvel), Doge\u2019s Palace and Bridge of Sighs, and of course the Rialto Bridge. History lovers will be in their element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Running through the heart of the city is the Canale Grande (Grand Canal), where visitors can hop on a traditional gondola and admire the city from the water &#8211; passing Venetian Palaces and Gothic and Early Renaissance Facades as you go. Or, why not book a moonlit gondola tour instead? It\u2019s one of the most romantic things to do in Venice at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s basically a crime to visit Italy without indulging in the local cuisine (in our humble opinion), so be sure you pack your appetite. Head to All\u2019Arco, a buzzing hole-in-the-wall style eatery where you\u2019ll find stacks of drool-worthy cicchetti (tapas), or for a meal with a view head to Ristorante Riviera for its mouth-watering pasta dishes by the water! If you\u2019ve got cash to splash, dine at Local, where you\u2019ll find a host of gastronomic wonders crafted by Chef Matteo Tagliapietra (most famous for working in Nobu and Noma).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paramountcruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Venice-Gondola.png\" alt=\"A gondola sailing into a canal from the Venice lagoon\" class=\"wp-image-472\" style=\"width:855px;height:428px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Venice-Gondola.png 1140w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Venice-Gondola-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Venice-Gondola-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Venice-Gondola-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Venice-Gondola-360x180.png 360w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Venice-Gondola-750x375.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extend your stay?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s often the case while on a cruise holiday that you experience places you wish you had longer in.
