PRE & POST CRUISE TOUR
Venetian Views & Sips: A Premium Post-Cruise from Marghera
From Marghera's port to a curated Venice escape — water taxi arrival, rooftop Prosecco, and a 1-hour private gondola.
The journey
Three days of curated Venice for clients stepping off a cruise in Marghera. A private transfer drives them from the port to Piazzale Roma, then a private water taxi glides them through the canals to their hotel. The next morning, an aperitivo on a hidden Venetian rooftop with Prosecco tastings and traditional cicchetti — the city seen from above with a glass in hand. In the afternoon, a 1-hour private gondola ride through quiet canals — twice the duration of the standard 30-minute tour, more intimate and unhurried. A premium, atmospheric extension where every moment is curated.
Highlights
- Private transfer from Marghera Port A private minivan picks up directly at Marghera Port and drives the short distance to Piazzale Roma in Venice.
- Private water taxi arrival into Venice From Piazzale Roma straight to the hotel by private water taxi — the most cinematic and memorable way to enter Venice. Door-to-door, with luggage on board.
- Rooftop Prosecco aperitivo with Venetian cicchetti An aperitivo on a hidden Venetian terrace with Prosecco tastings and traditional cicchetti — the lagoon's skyline at golden hour, a glass in hand, the Venice most visitors never see.
- 1-hour private gondola ride A private gondola through Venice's quieter canals — 60 minutes, twice the duration of the standard 30-minute ride. More intimate, more immersive, no rush.

Selling tips
- 1-hour private gondola — the inclusion clients won't forget Standard gondola rides are 30 minutes — barely time to settle in. This tour delivers a full 60-minute private gondola, twice the duration. The angle for couples or anniversary clients who want the romantic Venice moment to actually last.
- The lifestyle alternative to monument-focused post-cruise tours While other premium Marghera tours focus on Doge's Palace and St. Mark's, this one curates a lifestyle Venice — water taxi entrance, rooftop aperitivo at golden hour, and an extended private gondola. The angle for clients who want romance and atmosphere over museum visits.
- Premium logistics + premium experiences — at the right price point $980 for three days of private transfers and curated lifestyle experiences in Venice. The angle for cruisers who want the curated Venice without the cultural-tour focus — and a premium upgrade from the basic transfer-only post-cruise package.
