The other vessel operating on our Italy around Mantua and Venice bike and boat holidays is 40 passenger capacity boat Ave Maria.

Size and nature of vessel

Dutch barge Vita Pugna has been sailing the River Po area since 2008. Under the warm Italian sun, she’s a little way from her original Amsterdam home, but definitely not a ship out of water here!

Vita Pugna technical details: Length 36m, width 5.4m, draught 1.6m, 21 passengers.

Your on board accommodation

This is in a standard, outside-facing two berth cabin. All standard cabins are situated on the lower deck.

Vita Pugna has just 10 cabins. All are standard 2-bed cabins (approx. 7-8 m2) and are equipped with two single beds next to each other. An overhead drop-down bunkbed is available in one of these cabins to accommodate a third person.

Cabin facilities include: shower and WC and a porthole which can be opened for ventilation. The corridor in the cabins area has air-conditioning.
