Step by Step
Join the Brenta Riviera adventure on this full-day cruise from Padua to Venice. Start your day in Padua, a city full of history and charm, and head to the pier to board the ship. As the boat sails away from the port, you'll enter the tranquil Brenta River, surrounded by picturesque scenery.
During the cruise, you will have the opportunity to make several stops at some of the stunning Venetian villas that line the river. These magnificent residences, built by the noble families of Venice in the 16th and 17th centuries, are a testament to the wealth and splendour of the era. Some of the most outstanding villas are Villa Foscari, also known as La Malcontenta, and Villa Pisani, famous for its beautiful gardens. You will also learn more about the history of the region thanks to the audio guide on board during the cruise.
As you approach Venice, you can enjoy panoramic views of the city from the boat. You will disembark in the heart of Venice, where you can explore the city at your own pace and discover its charming streets, canals and squares. Please note that the boat does not include the return to Padua.
