Delve into the former Venetian Republic with Viking Resident Historian Charles Doherty, PhD

Hosted by Dr. Charles Doherty

Discover the political and economic factors that led to Venice’s great wealth, artistic riches and remarkable longevity with Dr. Charles Doherty, an esteemed Viking Resident Historian. Traditionally known as La Serenissima, or “the most serene,” the Venetian Republic was a sovereign state and maritime republic that lasted over a millennium—from its founding in 697 to its fall at the hands of Napoleon in 1797. While no longer a sovereign state, Venice continues to be a vibrant center for arts and culture, which you can explore on a Mediterranean voyage with us.
