Overview
Riva Tritone Venetian Lagoon Tour lets visitors enjoy a special cruise through the Northern Lagoon on Lady Betty. This boat is the oldest working boat in Venice.
Lady Betty was built in England in 1894. It was used as an Admiral’s launch. Now, it's the oldest floating ship in Venice. Before coming to Venice in 2019, Lady Betty was fixed up by Dennett Boat Builders. It now uses both electric and diesel power.
