On some dates alternate hotels may be used.
Experience It! Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Standing tall among the many architectural wonders of Florence is the imposing
Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, also known as the "Duomo," the third largest
cathedral in the world. The exterior is a colorful mix of pink, white and green
marble; important artwork, statues and intricate stained glass adorn the interior.
This famous landmark, designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, began construction in
1296. In the 15th century, the cathedral’s world-renowned dome was added, a
creation of architect Filippo Brunelleshci. This architectural wonder was created
without using a centering support for the masonry. This is a feat that has not been
achieved by many, particularly with one of its size. It is still the biggest dome in
the world where this technique was used. It weighs an estimated 37,000 tons and
it’s said that a staggering four million bricks were used.

rests upon one of the beautiful hills surrounding Florence. Prior to dinner, enjoy an after-hours visit to this 14th-
century monastery – La Certosa.* Revel in the beauty that lurks inside and experience the monastery’s magnificence
as you learn about monastic daily life. Then your evening of fun continues at one of the area’s most popular dining
establishments. Experience an authentic and traditional dinner served family-style! Savor local wines and Tuscan
food and enjoy the entertainment. It’s a memorable – truly Italian – evening out that you won’t want to miss! *Visit
to the monastery may not be possible when weddings are taking place. Duration: Approximately 4.5 hours. Please
note a minimum of 15 passengers is required. Transportation is included.

Experience the romance that can only be found in Venice – La Serenìssima – while traveling on its famous
waterways. Partake in one of Venice’s most famous pastimes – a gondola cruise. Take a pleasant stroll toward the
Grand Canal to board your gondola. As you relax in your elegant watercraft, your gondolier navigates the Grand
Canal as well as smaller side canals. Admire the scenery as you listen to the melodic voice serenading you in true
Italian style – just like in those romantic Italian movies! This option operates weather permitting. Duration:
Approximately 1 hour. Please note a minimum of 12 passengers is required. Transportation is not included.
Rome
The Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica $80 USD
The Vatican Museums are not only home to one of the world’s greatest collections of art, but also to the world-
famous Sistine Chapel. Priceless artifacts from ancient Egypt, Etruscan Italy and cultures around the world are
preserved in the Vatican’s palaces, galleries, halls and rooms. Follow a local expert guide on a three hour, in-depth
visit through this vast collection. Highlights include the Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries and of course, a
visit to the Sistine Chapel. The chapel’s famous ceiling frescoes took Michelangelo four years to complete. His
brilliant Last Judgment, which rests on the altar wall, was a topic of controversy for centuries. Other walls feature
paintings by Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, Cosimo Rosselli and Domenico Ghirlandaio. Your final stop will be
at St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the most important churches in Christendom, and until recently, the largest in the world.
