MSC Cruises offers a ‘ Panoramic Boat Trip, Murano and St. Mark’s Square ’ excursion, which involves a boat trip from the main island of Venice to Murano, one of the other islands in the lagoon and known around the globe for its artisan glassblowing. On the way to Murano, a tour guide will share the history of neighbouring islands San Giorgio Maggiore , San Servolo and La Certosa .
While on Murano , guests can visit a glassworker’s workshop and explore the St Donato Basilica , known for its Byzantine mosaics and the supposed bones of a mythical dragon. As the excursion name suggests, a visit to St Marks’ Square on the main island is also included, where visitors will have free time to explore.
