Panoramic Tour by Motor launch
Excursion Description

Words cannot adequately describe the majesty of Venice as it is revealed from its most dramatic perspective, the water. 

On this excursion you will:

  • Depart the ship and cruise along the Giudecca Canal with the enchanting view of St. Mark’s basin.
  • Cruising towards the Lido, a long strip of land dividing the lagoon of Venice from the Adriatic Sea and which is a famous summer resort, the launch will enter the northern part of the lagoon.
  • See the Arsenal, the old shipyard of the "Serenissima" Republic, and the ancient church of San Pietro di Castello, the city’s cathedral until the beginning of the 19th century.
  • Coasting the typical western districts of Castello and Cannaregio, with the long stretch called "Fondamente Nuove", the launch will pass the island of San Michele and the Venice cemetery, leading you to the island of Murano, renowned for its blown glass products.
  • As the launch points back towards Venice’s center, it will coast the Island of the Armenians, famous for its ancient monastery, before approaching again St. Mark’s basin, with a splendid view of St. George’s Island and St. Mark’s Square.

NOTE: Dependent upon which pier the ships docks at, there may be an approximate 400m walk back to the ship. The launches used for this excursion are not wheelchair accessible and do not have restroom facilities on board. The launches are double decker and offer both inside and outside seating.

Due to operational reasons, this excursion may operate in reverse, but all sights described will be visited.

An optional drop off in St Marks Square will be given at the end of excursion. If taken, transportation back to the ship will be on your own.

$49.99 per Adult $44.99 per Child
