Peace Boat in Venice

Venice is truly romantic. The glittering canals, meandering streets and just the atmosphere.. who can resist falling in love… with Venice?

The best part about visiting Venice with Peace Boat was the scenic ride through the river and buildings as the sunlight shimmered on the waters during dawn break.  We arrived in Venice on 1 October, 2015.

We were swept away by the romantic atmosphere of Venice as we got lost in the streets and stumbled upon quaint shops and floating markets.
