Ave Maria

After the great success of the first two seasons and a large number of requests our local operator has decided to double the fleet. The Ave Maria is an Italian boat and has been totally rebuilt in order to meet the most challenging clients’ requests. Only the hull of the original 1970s Sand Digger sailing along the River Po has remained and the boat is now brand new. It has been completely designed by a renowned Italian architectural firm. Its shapes, colours and materials have been chosen carefully in order to create a warm, sober and yet sophisticated atmosphere.

The Ave Maria has 10 double cabins and 3 Superior double cabins of approx 11 m2 (each of these can become a triple cabin, with a bunk bed) plus 4 single cabins (each of these can be sold as double cabin with bunk beds) of approx.7,5 m2. It can accommodate 40 guests max capacity. Each cabin boasts large windows, comfortable low beds, en-suite facilities and air conditioning. The superior cabins are the cabins located above deck (better view and larger windows, although the size and the comfort is the same as the double cabins).

We use an Italian operator for these holidays, and as other agents in Europe and America, such as ourselves, sell these tours it is likely you will have a mix of nationalities on this tour adding to the cultural enjoyment.
