Glide into Halloween With a Haunting in Venice Cruise

Spooky season is creeping into Coronado Cays, and The Gondola Company is marking the occasion with A Haunting in Venice Cruises.

Inspired by the eerie yet romantic ambiance of the film, this Venetian gondola experience gets a Halloween makeover complete with phantom gondoliers and soft organ music, setting the scene for an evening of enchanting mystery.

Drifting Through Coronado After Dark

These private 50-minute gondola cruises drift through the canals and waterways of Coronado as night falls, offering a Halloween-themed experience that’s eerie without tipping into scary, and still plenty romantic.

Book for two or bring a small group of friends and family along, and feel free to dress in costume for the occasion, though it’s encouraged rather than required.

Select wines, non-alcoholic beverages, and assorted chocolates are available for purchase along the way, giving your voyage into the darkness a little extra indulgence.

It’s a great pick for couples looking for something a little different than the usual haunted house or costume party. The quiet, candlelit setting makes it feel more like a romantic escape than a typical Halloween outing.

You can even bring your own wine or bubbly along for the ride, corkage is on the house. Just give them a call to book this one.
