| This memorable coastal getaway fit for a summer day begins at Gladstone’s Long Beach, the highly rated waterfront restaurant that has been in operation since 1949 in Long Beach’s Rainbow Harbor. Enjoy an included lunch with choice of entrée while soaking up the restaurant’s relaxed ambiance and picture-perfect location. This afternoon we’ll experience the old-world charm and 1,000-year tradition of Venetian gondolas without leaving Long Beach as we glide through the enchanting canals of Naples aboard a traditional Venetian-style gondola. As your charming gondolier shares the history of Naples, we’ll enjoy the picture-perfect views of colorful multi-million-dollar waterfront homes, lush greenery, bridges and flower gardens. Naples was built to resemble an Italian village at the turn of the 20th century and as we soak it all up, it will be easy to imagine that we’ve magically traveled to Venice, Italy for the hour. We top off the day with an included ice cream treat at a locals’ favorite that offers unique flavors that are rich and creamy – the perfect way to end our coastal getaway. |
