“There are several reasons that this cruise is one of my favorites: religious significance of so many sites (let’s get to know the apostle Paul!); amazing excursions; romantic scenes and settings (Venetian canals and gondolas, plus other settings); exceptional cuisine; and you will be amazed at the 6th century Basilicas in Ravenna with their ancient temple symbols!” (Donald Parry)
