Luxury cruise vacations along
                 the calm waters of the Venetian lagoon

Our unique cruise not only visits Venice's well known and lesser known attractions but also encompasses the outer islands of Torcello, Burano and Murano, as well as cruising the unknown and 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

La Dolce Vita has three comfortable cabins, two with twin or doubles 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.

Venice

Venice of course is a jewel in the crown of the Venetian lagoon and La Dolce Vita's route is a mixture of canal and river following the ancient trade routes used by the Romans and the early Mediterranean settlers before them. As well as the incredible delights of Venice itself, where the history goes back over 2000 years with some architectural features dating back even to the Byzantenial era, the additional opportunity afforded by hotel barge travel becomes obvious as you create your own schedule oblivious to the hustle and bustle of other visitors to Venice.

The crew are led by Massimiliano who is your 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 and guided tours are taken along the way.
