This was our second cruise and our second with Uniworld. The ship is very nice and the staff, food, wine etc are all up to the high Uniworld standard we experienced previously. The ship was only just over half full so service was superb.

It was nice to be on the water in Venice for a few days because we felt more a part of this maritime city than just staying on land. After disembarking on the final day we caught a vaparetto to Arsenale where we stayed in a B&B for two nights. We could have stayed longer because Venice is a most interesting city.

One disappointment was that we didn't cruise the Po via the Adriatic because the authorities would not permit the ship to travel with passengers on that route. As a result we spent only a little time actually cruising. A few hours cruising the Venice lagoon which was great and another couple of hours on the Po which is not iinteresting at all.
