Is Venice on your bucket list?
New for the 2027 season, UTracks has launched a summer-only bike and boat holiday through the islands and waterways of Venice aboard a fully air-conditioned electric barge.
The eight-day Venetian Islands Bike & Boat Premium Electric holiday combines cycling, island hopping and relaxed cruising through the fishing villages and waterways of the Venetian Lagoon.
Days are spent on mainly flat paths and quiet roads, exploring Burano, Murano, Pellestrina and Sant’Erasmo. There is also time to swim in the Adriatic or stretch out on a sandy beach.
Travellers spend seven nights aboard the Ave Maria Portegrandi, a modern electric barge designed for quieter, lower-emission cruising.
With a maximum of 24 guests, it features a panoramic saloon, outdoor sundeck and onboard dining showcasing traditional Italian dishes and regional ingredients.
UTracks general manager Kate Baker said the trip offers a different way for Australians to enjoy one of Europe's most popular destinations.
“Europe is still hugely appealing at this time of year, but travellers are far more conscious of the heat and how it affects their holiday,” Baker said.
“With this itinerary, you can explore Venice's colourful islands by bike, stop for a swim in the Adriatic and return to the comfort of your floating accommodation.”
Departures will run from June 26 to August 14 with English-speaking tour leaders.
