You now have the perfect excuse to take time out and enjoy this unique experience with your family and friends.

Enjoy a two-hour dinner cruise along a beautiful stretch of the Grand Canal. Savour some drinks up on deck while taking in the wonderful views before making your way down to the dining saloon for a delicious three-course meal. All food is freshly prepared on board by the expert team of chefs who are happy to cater to dietary requirements on request. The Eco-Friendly barge is battery operated which allows for a smooth and silent cruise along the canal with no fumes emitted.
