Vimy 105: The Italian Campaign
Start your journey Rome, a city steeped in history from the Roman Colosseum—home to ancient gladiatorial combat—to wartime sites like Monte Cassino and the Adreatic Caves. Then, delve into the history of the World Wars in France where you’ll explore the Vimy region and walk through the echoing tunnels of the British-built Wellington Quarry. And in the City of Light, see the world’s finest art in the gilded rooms of the Louvre—a collection which was secretly evacuated in 1939 and hidden from the Nazis.
Set departure date: April 2, 2022. Space is limited.
