Russell Watson is the UK’s top-selling classical recording artist and has been hailed as one of the world’s greatest classical singers. After winning a talent competition at a local radio station, Russell launched his professional singing career and has recorded 13 best-selling albums, won four Classical Brit awards and is described as a unique performer ‘who sings like Pavarotti and entertains the audience like Sinatra’.
Sailing in luxury and style on Uniworld’s Super Ship La Venezia, gourmet meals and unlimited premium drinks are all included, as well as six days of fascinating excursions, including a private after-hours visit to St Mark’s Basilica.
You’ll have plenty of time to discover the Unesco World Heritage site, where gondolas replace cars and the canals are lined by elegant Renaissance palaces, and also visit its beautiful surrounding islands of Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello.
You’ll enjoy a tour of Venice’s famous Rialto Bridge and the ancient merchants’ house, Fondaco dei Tedeschi, now sympathetically restored as a luxury shopping mall.
