About Varenna

Varenna's pastel waterfront, stacked above the lake like a small amphitheatre, is one of the most photogenic departure points on Lake Como — and the view back at the town from the water is the reason so many travellers book a cruise here. Choose a short, intimate outing such as the Private Luxury Boat Tour of Lake Como with Stops & Drinks, or spend two hours with a captain passing the villas on the Lake Como: 2-Hour Luxury Boat Tour with Captain & Villas.

Frequently asked questions

Varenna's boat tours sit at the premium end of Lake Como experiences, which reflects the small-group and private formats on offer — skippered boats, vintage vessels and sunset cruises with drinks included. Shorter one-hour tours are the most accessible, while full-day itineraries that also cover Bellagio or Milan transfers cost more.
