Years 2023 and 2024 Timetable

Archive Timetables Summary Page Fleet Page 2023 Sightings Summary Map Page History Page Advance information - Summer 2023 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 2023 Mondays to Fridays - 22nd May to 6th October 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine)     Thursday - 6th July 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine) then breakdown      Friday - 7th July 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine)    breakdown     Friday - 14th July 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine also special to Isola del Garda)     Friday - 28th July 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine) ( also special to sola del Garda  CANCELLED)     Friday - 25th August 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine also special to Isola del Garda) Mondays to Fridays - 9th October to 29th December 2023 Saturdays - 20th May to 7th October 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine)     Saturday - 12th August 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine also special to Isola del Garda)     Saturday - 16th September 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine also special to Bogliaco for Villa Bettoni)     Saturdays - 14th October to 30th December 2023 Sundays - 21st May to 8th October 2023  (0845 Riva-Malcesine) Sundays - 15th October to 31st December 2023 2024 Mondays to Fridays All dates Saturdays All dates Sundays All dates Archive Timetables
