About this trip

Embark from charming Varenna aboard Crissi, a sleek speedboat designed for up to eight guests, and set out on a captivating two‑hour journey through Lake Como’s storied shores. As the boat glides away from Varenna’s waterfront, you’ll instantly feel the blend of tranquility and anticipation that defines this legendary lake.

Your first destination is Cernobbio, where opulent 19th-century villas like Villa d’Este line the shore, their reflections shimmering on the water. From there, the boat eases into the secluded bay of Laglio, home to the iconic Villa Oleandra, George Clooney’s lakeside retreat. Imagine the stories those walls could tell as you pass by in comfort.

Continuing northwest, you’ll approach the cinematic Villa Balbianello, perched dramatically on a wooded promontory. This masterpiece of Renaissance architecture has starred in films like Casino Royale and Star Wars, and its terraced gardens offer breathtaking lake views.

Turning south, Crissi takes you to Nesso, where a narrow gorge channels a waterfall into the lake, a postcard moment perfect for photos. Then, you’ll drift past the serene villages of Torno and Blevio, each offering charming waterfront promenades, historic chapels, and hillside villas that speak to the region’s rich heritage.

Throughout the cruise, stay refreshed with chilled water, curate your own soundtrack using our premium audio system, and share the journey instantly with onboard Wi‑Fi.
