The Pasaporto Cruise times are all the times, day and night, that are not the designated Sunset Cruise times. The Sunset Cruise times are the peak cruise times that start as much as one and a half hours before the actual sunset and up to a half an hour after the sunset. It is possible that your cruise could end before sunset or start after the sunset.
-
There is no one specific time we consider the “best time.” We offer cruises weekdays 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm and weekends noon to 11:00 pm. Most people choose to go in the evening. You should choose a time that works well with other plans you may have for the evening. Choose a time for which you will not be late. The most romantic cruise is after the sun goes down.
-

Yes, we do allow dogs. However, some dogs just cannot resist getting into the water. You know your dog, if you think you’ll be battling with them to keep them in the boat, then it’s probably not a great idea. If they’re nice and calm, then it should be fine. Note: If your dog goes to the bathroom or vomits on the gondola, or has to be pulled back into the gondola from the water, a $50 fee will be added at the end of the cruise. Most of the time, people have no problems with their dogs and we’re happy to have them on the gondola with you.
