Enjoy New Year on the Venetian Lagoon

5 nights from £1,395 per person based on 2 sharing

Spend New Year on the Venetian Lagoon with VIVA Cruises, where quieter winter streets and reflective canals give the city a different feel. Sailing round-trip from Venice, this short river cruise combines time in the city itself with visits to Chioggia and Mazzorbo, offering a mix of well-known landmarks and lesser-visited corners. It’s a simple, well-paced itinerary built around the festive atmosphere of the season.
  • Venice in winter has a noticeably calmer pace, with fewer crowds across areas such as St Mark’s Square and the surrounding districts. The city’s canals, bridges, and historic buildings are easier to take in, with more space to explore at your own pace. It’s a different perspective on one of Europe’s most visited destinations.

  • New Year’s Eve is the highlight of the trip, spent on the water as fireworks light up the Venetian skyline. Watching from the ship offers a clear view across the lagoon, with reflections on the canals adding to the setting. It’s a simple but memorable way to mark the start of the year.

  • The itinerary also includes Chioggia, a working fishing town often referred to as a quieter version of Venice, with canals, markets, and a more everyday rhythm. In contrast, Mazzorbo offers a slower, more rural feel, known for its vineyards and connection to nearby Burano, giving a broader view of life on the lagoon.

  • You’ll stay on board VIVA UNIQUE in a double or twin cabin. Designed for smaller guest numbers, the ship offers a more compact, contemporary setting for exploring the lagoon, with indoor and outdoor spaces arranged around the changing views throughout the journey.
