Super Ship La Venezia

"The newest and most luxurious ship permitted to sail in the Venetian lagoon"
Fortuny Design 

Perhaps the most prevalent design influence onboard is that of renowned textile producer and Italian design house Fortuny, whose luxury custom fabrics decorate much of the ship. The Fortuny story is so integral to the design that you'll have the exclusive opportunity to visit the designer's private showroom and gardens during your stay. The S.S. La Venezia is the first time any travel company has been allowed to work with Fortuny.

Murano Glass

Artisan glassware from the Venetian island of Murano is displayed prominently onboard, from colourful handblown art to the delicately etched dividers surrounding the private booths of Ristorante Rialto.

Dining
​
​We've paid homage to Italy's beloved and varied cuisines with no less than four dining venues onboard. Enjoy wood-fired pizza at the sundeck eatery, Cielo's, or head to Hari's Bar for traditional paninis and cocktails. Enjoy typical Venetian fare in the nostalgic and cosy Ristorante Rialto most nights and book a private evening at La Cantinetta for an intimate, wine paired, cooking class dinner.
