La Dolce Vita, Venice, Italy

luxury cruise vacations along
the calm waters of the Venetian lagoon and the
beautiful canalised Brenta River

La Dolce Vita is a charming 6 passenger vessel with a crew of three, and she is the only hotel barge cruising our unique route. The lagoon surrounding Venice, the Venice Lido beach, Hemingway's influence, the fabulous Villas on the River Brenta all compliment the attractions of Venice itself where one could spend at least 6 months enjoying the amazing Renaissance architecture before venturing inside some of the buildings to discover the works of Canaletto, Tintoretto, and many other Italian masters. Weeks of research into our itinerary promise a fantastic cruise aboard Venice's only hotel barge.

La Dolce Vita has three comfortable cabins, one twin, one twin/double and one double. All are en-suite, the vessel is air-conditioned and there is a good sized sundeck for outside dining or just watching all that fantastic italian architecture floating past. The crew are led by Massimiliano who is our skipper and your host, this tall charming Venetian comes from a family of mariners and will really look after you. He is assisted by a chef and housekeeper. Our cruise along the Brenta river and around the Venetian lagoon is as unique as Venice herself.

Venice holds a romantic charm which has remained largely unaltered for centuries, boasting splendid architecture, elaborate palaces and a sense of culture and mystique unparalleled in hotel barge cruising terms. The Venetians have a very special way of life, transporting everything and everybody, everywhere by water with a variety of adapted watercraft. This extraordinarily special voyage allows time for fascinating excursions, perhaps sampling Venetian Opera, Theatre and of course shopping for fine Italian clothes, local crystal and brassware.

This fairytale adventure allows time to explore the history and legend of the middle ages and before. The islands of the northern Venetian lagoon,Murano, Burano and Torcello exude a charm and intrigue of their own, surpassed only by the Old Lady of the Lagoon, who in her prime ruled much of the Mediterranean. Delicious seafood, local culinary specialities, fine wines and attentive service complete the picture. La Dolce Vita is the only hotel barge cruising this exceptional region.
