Italy beckons - will you answer with a barge cruise?
Step back in time to Renaissance Italy as you explore this cultural gem at the leisurely pace of a luxury barge cruise.
Aboard an intimate barge, you will have the chance to zoom in on Venetian culture and lifestyle as you depart from Venice towards the charming towns of Pellestrina, San Pietro in Volta, Chioggia, Taglio di Po, Adria, Bagnoli Estate, Zelo, Governolo, and Mantua.
Along the way, visit Canal of the Orphans, the Naval Museum and the Pavilion of Gondolas, and the 17th Century home, Villa Ca’Zen.

The Adventure Life staff, for me it's Franny, always listens to what I say about what kind of travel my wife and I want and expect. It never goes wrong. The motto at AL seems to be I will get back to you right away if not sooner. Requested changes and special requests are encouraged and acted on ASAP.

The trip planners at Adventure Life were very helpful and always replied to my inquiries right away. The excursions, accomodations, and local guides were excellent

Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.
