Glide through the Venice-inspired waterways of Long Beach's Naples Island aboard a gondola, champagne in hand, serenaded by your gondolier. Utterly romantic and quietly spectacular — Long Beach's most charming secret.
What to expect
You step into an elegantly appointed Venetian-style gondola and glide beneath arched footbridges as your gondolier poles and sings traditional Italian songs on request. The canals of Naples are flanked by lavish estates with private docks, flowering gardens, and bobbing sailboats — a world of quiet affluence. Sip champagne and take in the serene beauty as the city falls away entirely.
Good to know
Naples Island is approximately 20 minutes by rideshare from the cruise terminal. Gondola Getaway is extremely popular — book your specific time slot online weeks in advance, especially on weekends. Evening cruises offer golden-hour light and are particularly magical. Rides last one hour; arrive 10 minutes early.
