Picnic as You Cruise
Plan a trip for your family or a group of friends – the gondola holds up to six people. While your gondolier quietly rows behind you, enjoy a gourmet picnic provided by us, or bring your own dessert and beverage.
St. Croix River
Our first gondola, cruising the St. Croix River in Stillwater, has been delighting passengers since 2001. Stillwater is a cozy community situated between the bluffs along the river valley. It is located just 20 miles east of downtown St. Paul. With its many B&Bs, eateries, antique shops, and art and book dealers, it is a favorite tourist destination and a beloved hometown.
Centennial Lakes
We are proud to announce we have now put a second gondola in the waters of Edina at Centennial Lakes. Edina, a suburb just southwest of Minneapolis, is liberally dotted with lush lakes and parks, as well as charming, upscale shopping districts.
Centennial Lakes is currently closed for the Fall/Winter.
Operation Times
Gondola Romantica operates by appointment in the evenings 7 days a week, May through October, weather permitting. To assure availability for your special occasion, we recommend that you reserve your ride at least 2 weeks in advance. Walk-up rides are available as our schedule allows.
Come and enjoy one of the most memorable, delightful experiences of your life!
