After our unforgettable tour, why not keep the wonder going? We invite you to join us for a post-tour extension to Venice, where Italy’s breathtaking coastline, rich history, and relaxed charm offer the perfect way to unwind and reflect.
From October 15–18, 2027, we’ll trade bustling cities for the romantic Venetian Lagoon. You’ll have the chance to stroll the streets and alleys of Venice, travel by gondola or vaparetto, through the canals, and visit the world-renowned glass-blowing island of Murano.
Whether you're relaxing by the Grand Canal, sipping espresso on your balcony, or grabbing a quick Venetian "cicchetti" bite, it will be a time to rest, savor, and soak in the beauty of northern Italy before heading home—a magical ending to a meaningful journey.
The cost of the extension depends on the category of hotel room you choose at our boutique property. Space is limited in each category, and rooms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis—so we encourage you to reserve your spot early! Expect prices in mid-September, 2026.
All prices listed will include the hotel stay, the transfer to Venice and our hotel, a visit to the majestic St. Mark's Cathedral (including the Pala d'Oro), and our grand farewell dinner.

A free day to take in the local sights. You options are abounding in this historic city unlike any other. For those wanting looking to dive into the history of the city, the museum at the Doge's Palace is not to be missed. Or for more insight into the Renaissance maritime power of Venice, visit the Venetian Aresenal.
For those art lovers in the group, Venice is a true gem. Our hotel is in wonderful proximity to the "museum mile" in the Dorsoduro district, viewing eight centuries of artwork across four different museums.
Another option is to take a short boat ride to the island of Murano, known for its stunning glass-blowing work. Make sure to catch a demonstration! The next-door island of Burano is charming and quiet, originally a fisherman's village, and a delightful spot for a seafood lunch before visiting the lace museum.
