My wife and I just returned from a last minute 8 day trip to Italy (bucket list checked). We were interested in both Venice and river cruise and happened upon Croisi. I checked the regular sites for reviews and found very little, but went ahead and booked. Very glad we did.

We sailed on the Michelangelo in Venice April 4-8. First of all, the boat/hotel manager (Herve) is an excellent host. He could not have been more friendly, informative and organized. He is very customer service oriented indeed. The boat was spotlessly clean, the food very tasty, the tours exceptional and the overall experience delightful. We will definitely cruise on Croisi again.

You board the boat very near the main cruise port, but on a very nice quay away from the hustle/bustle adjacent a typical Venice neighborhood. When all passengers are on board the first night, it then moves on to an even better location on a quay just a few minutes walk to St. Marks Square and all of Venice. We walked for hours each day directly from the boat in beautiful neighborhoods. Read more
