LAKE GARDA

N L G Summer Timetable
Daily
1st August to 30th September 2007
(except Saturday 8th September)

Click here for details of the dates either one or both the motor paddle vessels were "observed" in service during 2007

The following table shows the sailings expected to be operated by the two motor paddle vessels (based on previous years)
but only on those days they are rostered to operate
in public timetabled service
*** and only on a non-advertised basis ***
Click here for details of the dates MPV Italia has been reported to me as "observed in service" during Summer 2007

note specially - so far, I have received NO confirmed sightings of
MPV G Zanardelli this year
but it is now understood she may only be in service during August in 2007

Beware .....
..... in previous years one or both motor paddle vessels have on occasions been laid-up before the end of the NLG summer timetable with their traditional sailings reverting to solely motor vessel operation
If you have any further information or see either or both vessels in service please e-mail me with the details

The following summary is extracted from the official NLG "on-line" timetable
for Summer 2007, but once again there is no reference to either of the
two motor paddle vessels being in service

On the limited dates sightings have been reported to me in early-2007 they have all been of MPV Italia normally operating traditional sailings
at the southern end of the lake
but there has also been just one occasion when she has been reported on the full-length Riva sailings 2-3-4-5 during late May 2007 vice the regular car ferry

In order to give holidaymakers etc., an idea of what to possibly expect
or at least enquire about
the sailings below show the motor paddle vessels expected to operate them
but only on those days they are rostered into public service
on other dates these sailings will normally be operated by a smaller motor vessel

This timetable shows the sailings expected to be operated by the motor paddle vessels, but only on those days they are in public service Steamer rosters are liable to last-minute alteration on a day by day basis particularly in connection with private charter sailings or occasionally when covering for one of the larger car ferries on the 'full-length' sailings

EXPECTED alterations for some if not most "peak-summer dates"
   MPV Italia to operate sailings 6-11-12-13-30-31 vice a motor vessel
   MPV G Zanardelli to operate sailings 16-17-18-19 vice a motor vessel
IF she is in service during 2007
  on a non-advertised basis, except when there are private charter sailings
  or when MPV Italia occasionally operates to Riva vice the regular car ferry

If YOU have any further information, please e-mail me with the details
and I will update this page for the benefit of other visitors to this website
