Description
The Experience
Midnight, 31 December: the fireworks burst over St Mark’s Basin and you are on a private gondola, ring in hand. As the countdown ends and the sky lights up over the lagoon, you ask the question. A bouquet of red roses and a bottle of Champagne are ready to celebrate the first minutes of the New Year as an engaged couple.
Few places in the world give you a moment like this. Kiss Me Italy handles the gondola, the timing and the logistics of New Year’s Eve in Venice, so you only have to think about the words.
New Year’s Eve in Venice
Every year Venice welcomes the New Year with fireworks over St Mark’s Basin at midnight, one of the most spectacular celebrations in Italy. On that night the area around St Mark’s is crowded and access is regulated by the city: watching from a gondola on the water gives you space, privacy and the best view.
How the Night Unfolds
- You meet your coordinator before midnight at the agreed boarding point.
- The private gondola takes you into position in front of St Mark’s.
- The countdown begins and the fireworks start.
- You propose at midnight, with the fireworks behind you.
- A bottle of Champagne and a bouquet of red roses welcome the New Year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really see the fireworks from the gondola?
Yes. The fireworks are launched over St Mark’s Basin at midnight, and the gondola is positioned on the water facing the celebrations.
Is a photographer included?
This package focuses on the midnight moment: gondola, roses and Champagne. A photographer can be added on request, ask Alessandra on WhatsApp.
How cold is Venice on New Year’s Eve?
Usually between 0 and 6°C at night. Dress warmly, with a coat, gloves and a hat; the moment on the water is short but magical.
What if the weather is bad?
The fireworks normally go ahead in light rain. If conditions make navigation unsafe, your coordinator activates the Plan B agreed with you in advance.
Can we combine it with a dinner?
Yes. Many couples dine first and then reach the gondola before midnight. See also our New Year’s Eve Lagoon Dinner Proposal, or ask Alessandra to combine.
Is the price for two people?
Yes. €1,700 is all-inclusive for the two of you.
