Padua has a painted history as one of the major Italian cities of art. Cruise through over 2,000 years of architecture on a romantic old Venetian barge, and see real life in action from Padua to Venice.

Get panoramic views of the villas along the Brenta Riviera, and historic snapshots, on a full day's mini-cruise designed to plug you into Italian culture. Take in guided villa tours along the way, and there's even a stop for an optional lunch at the famous restaurant Il Burchiello in Oriago.
