Riva S. Biasio, 2148

Riva S. Biasio, 2148 is a departure point on the Grand Canal in Venice, serving as the embarkation location for one of the city's most distinctive evening experiences. The address sits along the Sestiere of Santa Croce, where the canal's broad sweep offers unobstructed views of the palazzi and waterways that define Venetian life after dark.

From this quayside, guests board a traditional galleon for a three-hour dinner cruise along the Grand Canal and the wider Venetian lagoon. The experience combines a sit-down meal with the spectacle of Venice seen from the water, passing landmarks that are rarely appreciated so closely from the surface of the canal itself. The setting is the city's own architecture and open water, making the vessel and its route as much a part of the occasion as the dining on board.
