Venice (Fusina), Italy

A Gondola Ride in Venice

The Classic Venice Experience Experience a romantic and mesmerizing gondola ride through the canals of Venice. These distinctive flat-bottomed boats, once the principal mode of transport in this waterborne city, are today its timeless symbol. Transfer by boat to Cornoldi Pier and walk through the narrow streets to the gondola boarding station. Board your vessel with assistance, then glide through a magical Venice with your fellow passengers—never more than six in a gondola. Your sojourn is unguided and your route will be determined by water traffic, so you will easily be captivated by the surprises around every bend. The city takes on another guise from the water, and you are sure to be entranced by the picturesque bridges with medieval buildings towering above. Afterward, take a stroll through St. Mark’s Square before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
