Years 2024,  2025 and 2026 Timetable

Archive Timetables Summary Page Fleet Page 2024 Sightings Summary Map Page History Page Advance information - Summer 2024 Since the end of the 2001 season  (when there were regular extra 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 Since the major re-built MPV G Zanardelli  (completed a couple of years ago),  she normally only operates "charter" and the occasional "special" cruises - details will be included on this website if and when any are advised to me In consequence MPV Italia has more recently been based at Riva vice her sister during the peak-summer period and normally operates some timetabled sailings from Riva and Limone to Malcesine,  but these are NOT advertised as such in the official NLC timetable BEWARE - these sailings are liable to replacement by an ordinary motor vessel without notice if there is a private charter or she is required to covere for another ship always confirm locally first to avoid disappointment ! In 2023 it is expected it will again be possible to make a full-length sailing from the southern end of the lake by using the early-morning hydrofoil/cataraman to Limone before later returning on the last southbound hydrofoil/cataraman services On very rare occasions one or even both motor paddle vessels have sailed the full length of the lake vice the car ferries,  but not for several years Please e-mail me if you see either motor paddle vessel in service anywhere so the information can be posted for the benefit of other visitors to this website bold dates   - one or more motor paddle vessels planned/expected to be in service light dates     - no motor paddle vesels planned to be in service lilac dates   - "expected" sailings by motor paddle vessels awaiting formal confirmation 2024 Mondays to Fridays - 1st January to 31st December 2024     Mondays to Fridays - 12th June to 4th October 2024         Thursday to Tuesday - 8th to 13th August 2024         Wednesday - 14th August 2024 Saturdays - 6th January to 28th December 2024     Saturdays - 15th June to 5th October 2024         Saturday - 10th August 2024 Sundays - 7th January to 29th December 2024     Sundays - 16th June to 6th October 2024         Sunday - 11th August 2024 2025 Mondays to Fridays - 1st January to 31st December 2025 Saturdays - 4th January to 27th December 2025 Sundays - 5th January to 28th December 2025 2026 Mondays to Fridays All dates Saturdays All dates Sundays All dates Archive Timetables
