General Info

Romantic, relaxing, exclusive... Cruise through spectacular Newport Harbor in one of the world’s most beautiful gondolas. Create a memory with that special someone as you glide silently through quaint canals guided by a charming gondolier. Looking for romantic anniversary ideas or a unique date ideas? This is romance at its finest. Tradition dictates that couples kiss under every bridge. Greeting others in Italian as they pass by is encouraged and enjoying life to its fullest is a requirement. The gondolas are stunning... The sunsets on the water breathtaking... The mood perfect... This is the stuff that dreams are made of. Great for: romantic proposals, special celebrations, fun and romantic anniversaries, date nights, special occasions, family gatherings, weddings, unique elopement ideas, or JUST BECAUSE..... Gondola Adventures has custom features and specialty enhancements that we have pioneered in the industry. For example, the President of our company developed the Message in a Bottle in 1993, wherein a custom love-note is silently dropped in the water by your gondolier, and then spotted and retrieved by your guest. Many companies claim to have Venetian gondolas, but often their gondolas are not actually imported from Venice. The Venetians have been making gondolas for nearly 1000 years, and it is truly an art form. All of Gondola Adventures' rowing gondolas are imported from Venice and are propelled by oar and oarlock (Remo e Forcola) in the manner that gondolas are traditionally rowed in Venice, Italy. Additionally, Gondola Adventures has the only operating wedding gondolas west of the Mississippi. Wedding gondolas have carved decks and the most ornate decorations. One of our wedding gondolas, the Lucia, has a canopy cover (available upon request). There is nothing that quite compares to the real thing. At the opposite end of the spectrum are our Neo-Venetian gondolas, these boats have silent electric motors so the gondoliers steer, rather than row. Some are all black, while others are mahogany and black with inlaid roses and beautiful canopy covers. The elegant and distinctive interiors surround you in comfort. These more contemporary craft have a little more range and can, if requested in advance, travel further (which is nice in a harbor that is six miles long from one end to the other). Almost all of our cruises include a leisurely tour through the canal area at the north end of Newport Harbor – a very romantic and relaxing experience.
