Have you ever wanted to see Venice, one of the greatest cities in the word?  If so, then you may be able to do it by water.  Map Destinations has embarked on its first development project which it is preparing to launch in the coming weeks.  Venice on Water, which has been described as “one of the most unusual timeshare properties yet” by RCI is about to set sail in Venice-Italy’s most celebrated province.

According to an article in Owner’s Perspective Magazine, “The project is based around a small fleet of custom-built luxury houseboats that will be moored in a strategic and central location within very close proximity of the iconic city of Venice. Apart from offering an innovative and easy way of cruising on the most famous lagoon in Europe, these houseboats also enable members to enjoy a luxurious boating lifestyle without needing to find the capital, maintenance and management costs to support full-time boat ownership. The first of 10 vessels which has been purpose-built in Malta shall be unveiled in June 2009.”

This first houseboat shall be moored at the marina Darsena DEC which is only 5km away from the Venice city centre and offers guests various services and facilities including water and electricity supply and protection from winds and tides. The houseboats, measuring ten by three and a half metres, can accommodate up to six guests and are easy to manoeuvre and handle with no licence or experience required. Anyone wanting to jump aboard can hire their own skipper for an extra fee or can opt to learn the ropes in a couple of hours.”

Of course, they will be extremely difficult to get on exchange, especially during good weather, so get your requests to RCI in early.
