Two hours from the Venice terminal, the Dolomites offer walking at whatever level the group wants, with luggage moved separately and a final night near the port. A calm, high start before fourteen days at sea, or a decompression after them.
Arrival at Marco Polo or Treviso and transfer north through the Piave valley, around two hours, with lunch at Belluno en route. Arrival in the Dolomites in mid afternoon and the rest of the day free for the village and the valley floor. Dinner at the hotel.
A point-to-point walk on old paths between two valley villages, at a grade set on the day by the group, with luggage and the coach moved separately and lunch at a mountain hut along the route. Afternoon return, evening free.
Morning on the Great Dolomites Road, with stops at the Falzarego and Pordoi passes and a cable car for the higher viewpoint. Lunch in a Ladin valley. Afternoon transfer back towards Venice, with the final night at a hotel close to the terminal.
Morning at leisure, with an optional walk in Castello or along the Zattere, then transfer to the cruise terminal in time for boarding.
