La Bella Vita

Vessel Type: Hotel Barge

Length: 148 feet

Passenger Capacity: 20

La Bella Vita operates between Venice and Mantua on the Venetian Lagoon, the River Po and the Bianco Canal. The route blends shifting landscapes with cultural depth: lagoon islands, quiet dunes, pine woods, and guided visits through Ferrara, Mantua and Chioggia. These tours expose the layers that shaped the region – Renaissance, Roman, Etruscan and Byzantine – while the cruising segments provide uninterrupted views of some of Italy’s most atmospheric waterways.

The vessel carries 20 guests in a modern Italian interior defined by saturated colours and a relaxed tone. Social space centres on a bar and a large dining room with louvred doors that open directly to the landscape. Accommodation includes two upper deck junior suites and eight lower deck staterooms, all air-conditioned with en suite facilities. The sun deck holds broad seating, a canopy for shade, loungers and a spa pool. Classic cruises run March to October, with selected departures offering a full circumnavigation of the Venetian Lagoon and stops at islands such as Murano, Burano and Lido.
