Morning mist lifts off the water as the Venezia Cruise slips through a forest of limestone towers — jagged karsts that rise like old rulers from a glassy sea. Guests move from sundeck to rail, watching fishing boats thread narrow channels while the ship nudges into quieter inlets where the sound of water replaces city hum.
