While we have yet to recover from the grand Ambani-Jamnagar bash, the sequel to Anant and Radhika`s pre-wedding gala (pt. 2) has just come to a close. On a cruise with handpicked A-listers, the duo mapped Italian seas from Palermo to Portofino from May 29 to June 1. 
  
The guests regaled over themed soirees including `A Holiday in Rome,’ an opulent toga party, `Le Masquerade` in Cannes, wrapping up with a `La Dolce Vita` sundowner in Portofino.
