Ave Maria Portegrandi - Bike and Barge tour Italy - Van Gogh Tours

Ave Maria Portegrandi

  • Airconditioning in whole barge
  • Twin or double beds
  • Large sundeck

An elegant, latest-generation electric river barge, built in Italy and designed to navigate the little-used waterways between Mantua, Venice, and Grado.
It combines technological innovation with environmental awareness: its 36 kWp photovoltaic panels and 340 kWh batteries make the use of a diesel generator almost unnecessary, promoting silent, low-emission navigation.
