Tour program variations The navigation is guaranteed all year round along the 135 km waterways βFissero-Tartaro-Canalbianco-Po di Levanteβ, which run parallel to the Po river. Due to organizational reasons, weather conditions or provisions issued by local authorities, the itinerary may be subject to some changes before and/or during the holiday. Issues with high and low water, as well as logistic obstacles such as officially ordered β previously not announced β repair work on locks or bridges can modify some of the daily stretches or overnight stays and may even request a transfer by bus. These decisions are only taken by the boatβs captain.
