Ave Maria

Ave Maria Italia is a comfortable river cruise ship, built in Italy with innovative design solutions and carefully selected materials that combine style with comfort. Thanks to her compact size, she can easily pass under low bridges and navigate shallow waters — perfectly suited to the unique waterways of Italy. The vessel was custom-built using the salvaged hull of a former Po River dredge, giving her a distinctive character and history. Ave Maria Italia fully complies with the latest and strictest safety and environmental standards. She is considered an environmentally sustainable vessel, featuring energy-saving systems on board, advanced wastewater purification, and navigation practices designed to protect and preserve riverbanks.

On board, guests enjoy a relaxed and intimate cruising experience while traveling responsibly through some of Italy’s most beautiful landscapes.
