Advance information - Summer 2011


Since the end of the 2001 season (when there were special afternoon cruises by MPV Italia
as well as MPV G Zanardelli operating timetabled sailings out of Desenzano)
the two motor paddle vessels are rarely advertised to operate public timetabled sailings

Sadly, official information about future public sailings is difficult to find (even locally)

However, in more recent years, in addition to several private charter sailings
and the occasional special public  'Regatta Cruise'
both motor paddle vessels have traditionally been been found operating timetabled sailings
normally only at the Southern end of the lake
vice a smaller motor vessel on busy days during the peak-summer
but always on a non-advertised basis

There is no reason not to expect something similar will again apply in 2011
during the peak-summer period using MPV Italia
when she does not have a private charter

(she had a major overhaul during the winter
following her premature lay-up in 2010 with engine problems
)


Unusually MPV G Zanardelli spent the majority of summer 2010
based at Riva at the Northern end of the lake
The NLG have confirmed she will again be based at Riva in 2011
but will operate at different times this year
Watch this space !!!!!

Please e-mail me if you see either motor paddle vessel in service so the information
can be posted for the benefit of other visitors to this website
