Galleon dinner cruise in Venice: a romantic experience!

Would you like to sail in the evening in the Venice lagoon, among its islands and in front of St Mark’s basin, on a historic Venetian galleon, enjoying a delicious candlelit dinner together with your better half?

The return to Venice takes place following the profile of the Arsenale and then entering the Giudecca Canal; it is a magical moment, time suspended in the lights and shadows of a thousand-year-old city. The Galleon will slowly enter the Saint Mark’s basin.

The grand finale is a true apotheosis for the eyes and the spirit!

Pinch yourself! You are on board a Venetian Galleon and in front of you there is St Mark’s Square with its palaces reflecting their image and lights on the water.

Venice Galleon dinner cruise

In addition to filling your eyes and making your spirit soar along the canals and islands of the lagoon, this excursion aboard the Venetian Galleon will allow you to enjoy a delicious romantic dinner on board a boat with the best local and seasonal products, expertly prepared by the chef to enhance the flavours and transmit the scents of the lagoon to your palate.

Before dinner begins, an aperitif with Prosecco DOC extra dry awaits you. The menu counts with 5 courses and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay; the proposals follow the seasonality and therefore change with the rhythm of the four seasons; as an alternative to the fish menu there is a meat proposal, a vegetarian one and one for children. All dishes are elaborate and very carefully prepared.

The soft candlelight and background music create the right atmosphere for an emotion to be experienced every moment of this journey.

Lunch on board the Venetian Galleon

You can also set sail on board the Venetian Galleon for a wonderful day excursion that includes lunch. You will sail through the lagoon enjoying the chef’s delicacies and admiring the islands of the lagoon and Venice in daylight. The excursion lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and the departure is at 12.30 p.m. (you can check availability and rates directly on the booking form by clicking on the ‘Booking’ button).

Venetian lagoon tour and Galleon dinner: how to organise at best your dinner on board

During the summer there is a cover that allows you to shelter from the rain, while in the winter an environment is created from which you can admire the view and at the same time enjoy a pleasant temperature and the warmth of the wood.

Embarkation point is in front of the Naval Museum – Museo Navale – (the nearest ACTV vaporetto stop is the Arsenale); please be there 10 minutes in advance with your voucher in electronic format (on your smartphone) before departure so as not to miss the tour.

The embarkation point is also the disembarkation point. On request, the embarkation point can also be arranged at Punta Sabbioni di Cavallino, a short distance from Jesolo, which is especially useful in summer for those staying in coastal resorts.

The” Galeone di Venezia” is accessible to disabled persons.

When booking, it is important to choose the area of the galleon in which to reserve your table. There is the Central deck that offers a magnificent and wide view and then there are some tables at the stern areas where the view of the outside is partial – by small windows – and at the bow where it is absent.

The tour begins with a welcome drink. During dinner you will be followed by an attentive but always discreet staff. The chef’s main proposals are mainly fish. There is, however, also a meat menu, a vegetarian menu and a children’s menu. And since the raw materials are fresh and seasonal, each menu changes every season.

Enjoy your cruise and have a good dinner!
