About the Event

This October, The Gondola Company welcomes all foolish mortals to their eerie (but not scary) A Haunting in Venice Cruises, traversing Coronado’s waterways from October 28-31.

Inspired by the eerie yet romantic ambiance of the film "A Haunting in Venice," The Gondola Company is transforming its Venetian gondola ride with phantom gondoliers and soft organ music, setting the scene for an evening of enchanting mystery.

The private 50-minute gondola cruises drift through the canals and spooky waterways of Coronado as nighttime falls, offering an unforgettable Halloween-themed experience. Select wines, non-alcoholic beverages, and assorted chocolates are available for purchase to complement your voyage into the darkness.

While we can’t provide love potions, you can try the next best thing: surprise your loved ones with a bewitching bouquet of black roses, starting at $95. All Black Rose Boo-quets must be ordered by October 21 to ensure full spell-binding romance.

Can’t get enough of the thrills? Upgrade your experience with The Haunting Caorlina Cruise. This large-scale group party on the water has space for 14 passengers, cozy blankets to keep you warm, and all the Instagram worthy moments for you and your friends. Starting at $550 (including gratuity), The Haunting Caorlina Cruise is a one-of-a-kind excursion, offering a way to form hauntingly beautiful memories with your friends and family.

A Haunting in Venice Cruises run from October 28 to 31 beginning at 4 p.m. Book your ghoulish getaway here!
