    Full description

    Discover the serenity of the enchanting city of Venice with a dinner cruise aboard a Venetian Galleon. Watch the city's lights reflecting on the water as you savor a gourmet meal while sipping on wine and Aperitivo. Pick from Central Deck seating and stern/prow seating.

    Meet your host in front of the Museo Navale in Venice and, once on board, the crew will lead you to your reserved table and offer you a delicious glass of Prosecco DOC. Sit by candlelight at an elegant table, and eat with a fine and well-finished service.

    Book the Central Deck for panoramic windows with exceptional views, or choose the prow/stern areas with tables for 4 that offer a more intimate atmosphere. On the prow, there are two small portholes at the top and there is no view of the outside.

    Select to sit at the stern which is connected to the kitchen/bar and has small windows for a partial view of the outside. Couples might be seated at one shared table (however, the tables are big enough to guarantee each couple privacy).

    Be swept away by the old-fashioned charm of a boat as you immerse yourself in in the magic of the Venetian Lagoon. At dusk, the Galleon will slowly leave shore and head into the northern lagoon.

    Take in views of the minor islands such as Sant’Erasmo, and San Francesco del Deserto. Taste a variety of delightful specialties prepared by the onboard chef while you sail towards the Venetian Arsenal and then past the islands of Vignole, Mazzorbo and the artistic Murano.

    Circumnavigate Burano which is famous for its picturesque, colorful houses and the Leaning Bell Tower. Sail back to the San Marco basin and past the island of San Giorgio.

    Head on to Venice and the cruise for a spectacular view of the San Marco basin. Disembark at the Museo Navale.

    Incredible!!!!! This is our 4th time in Venice & our first time taking this trip, it was genuinely breathtaking. The service was flawless and attentive, I had the meat menu and my partner had the sea food, and we were stuffed. Great value for money and I will be recommending to anyone I know travelling to Venice! Prosecco, wine & water included and even accommodated beer for none wine drinkers, I can’t say it enough, if your thinking of booking DO IT!! Worth every penny - thanks Jolly Roger team. P s we had the only female waitress on todays service (20.7.22) and she was wonderful - thank you xx

    Although my wife and I really enjoyed the cruise element experience we were very disappointed with the menu. This is normally fish,however we chose the alternative meat menu as some of the fish dishes didn't sound like we would enjoy them. When we were served the meat dishes they all consisted of raw or undercooked dishes which we personally could not eat. If we had known the food was going to.be like this we would have opted for the vegetarian option as the cruise itself was lovely and staff were really friendly. Overall the activity was lovely but choose carefully with the menu!

    Awesome ship, excellent friendly staff, food looked great although bit too much for our taste, we not really “foodies” so didn’t like a lot of it. Everyone else did though so wasn’t a reflection of the menu, just be prepared for a rather exquisite 9 course experience. We couldn’t book on deck as was full so settled for cheaper option in the front of the boat, wouldn’t recommend it if you get motion sickness like me and can’t stomach travelling backwards. Although you can go outside and sit up top anytime so that helped. All in all would recommend, definitely a one off experience, fish or meat menu options when booking. Book early though as gets full quick !!!!
