Venice, the River Brenta & the Veneto 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.

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.
