11:15 am – The Journey Begins:
Meeting point for participants at Pier B1 “Navi Andes”.

11:30 AM – Let's Set Sail!
Boarding and the start of the picturesque cruise through the lakes of Mantua and the natural wonders of Mincio Park, a WWF-protected area. Here, the show is twofold: on the one hand, wild and lush nature, and on the other, the city, which reveals itself in a completely new guise.
From the lake, Mantua appears in all its splendour: the Historic Centre, the Palace, the Castle, the towers and the domes seem to float on the water, mirrored in a breathtakingly spectacular effect.
Then, nature takes centre stage: among floating expanses of lotus flowers and water chestnuts, the sudden flight of herons, night herons and kingfishers, a living mosaic of colours, scents and sounds that enchants every sense.

12:30 PM – Lunch on Board with a Panoramic View:
While the motorboat continues its journey through calm waters and fairytale landscapes, a typical Mantuan lunch will be served, a true journey through the flavours of tradition:

Starter: Food tasting of Mantuan cured meats accompanied by soft polenta

First course: Lasagne with pumpkin and sausage, a must-try of local cuisine

Main course: Roast inspired by the Gonzaga family's table, with baked potatoes flavoured with rosemary

Dessert: The quintessential artisanal Sbrisolona and a refreshing lemon sorbet

Drinks: ¼ litre of Lambrusco Mantovano wine and ½ litre of mineral water

2:30 pm – Drop-off and City Exploration:

Disembark in Mantua and meet your guide for a walking tour that will take you into the authentic and charming heart of the city. A route through medieval alleyways, elegant squares and majestic palaces, where every corner tells a storey.
Together, we will admire:
Piazza Sordello, Piazza Broletto, Piazza Erbe, the Bonacolsi Palaces, the Torre della Gabbia, the Palazzo del Podestà, the Palazzo della Ragione, the Rotonda di San Lorenzo and the imposing Basilica of Sant'Andrea, an absolute masterpiece by Leon Battista Alberti.
