ITINERARY

Welcome to Paris! Starting off with a bangin’ welcome dinner, you’ll get to know your crew of 27-35s at a local restaurant this evening. Then we’ll set sail on a Seine river cruise to see the City of Love sparkle in all its glory at night. This is what love at first sight feels like!

Cuisine and cabaret day. We'll start this morning with a visit to a French perfumery followed by an optional patisserie walking tour, winding our way around the cutest bakeries in Paris, sampling dreamy pastries as we go. You've then got some free time in afternoon. To finish the day, it's off to a Paris cabaret show, with dinner and champagne to really switch on the sophistication.

Setting off on our first train ride of this trip, we’ll say goodbye to Paris this morning.  It doesn’t take long for Lausanne to captivate you with its beauty. Luckily, you’ve got some free time to take it all in. What next? How about some Swiss fondue? Your Trip Manager will point you in the right direction.

Rise and shine! First up, we'll have a free morning to explore before we hop on the train. Yes, we know. The train ride is super comfy. But trust us, you don’t wanna sleep through this one. Today we’ll ride along the scenic Simplon rail route to Italy - passing by jaw-dropping vistas of lakes, castles and tunnels on the way. Hello Milan! The only thing on the agenda this evening is chilling. And possibly sipping aperitivo in Navigli (just like the locals). That’s how we roll.

Wanna check out the Duomo? Or the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II? Or just wanna hit the Milan streets and frolic around? You've got this morning to do just that. Then with no time to waste, we’ll hop back on a train to see the world-famous floating city. Your bags? Drop ‘em at our hotel right on the islands. This evening, you'll have the chance to try traditional Venetian food right in its home.

You’ve got a free day today, folks. You can choose to hit the canals on a traditional gondola and even opt for a Venetian dinner. Or just take your time exploring the island. Bored doesn’t exist here.

Venice, you’ve been very nice. But we’ve got one last Italian spot to tick off. Hop on! One look is all it takes for you to know why this place is loved by so many. You've got a free afternoon to spend away however you like. In the evening, you're welcome to join us at a local restaurant for some soul-satisfying Italian food. Then we'll hit the cobblestoned streets to see even some iconic Roman monuments.

Historic spots, foodie shops, photo ops - you’re free to do whatever you want today. Tour the Colosseum & the Roman Forum with expert Local Guides. Then check out Rome's best restaurants on another tour. It’s your final full day of this trip, so make the most of it!

All good things come to an end. And so does this trip. Bid your final farewells to your crew. But not before you munch on your final included breakfast (and reminisce of the best 9 days of your life!).
