The year 2026 is approaching… and there is no more evocative setting to bid farewell to the past year and welcome the new one than Venice illuminated for the festivities, seen from the water.
Imagine wearing a Venetian mask, boarding an elegant motor vessel, and letting yourself be carried away by the magic of a special night: the city gliding past you, its lights reflected in the lagoon, the palaces appearing to light up in a thousand colors.
Dining by candlelight while sailing through the canals and St. Mark’s Basin means experiencing an evening that combines intimacy and wonder. Each course of the gala menu is accompanied by a moving panorama, made even more exciting by live music and toasts with selected Italian wines.
And when the sky lights up with fireworks, you will be in the most beautiful spot in the city: directly on the water, far from the crowd, with a privileged and unobstructed view. No pushing, no noise to disturb the enchantment, only the emotion of welcoming the new year in the heart of St. Mark’s Basin.
Such a New Year’s Eve cannot be forgotten: elegant, masked and – as Venetian tradition demands – decidedly generous with the toasts!
