Arrival by water
A private launch carries you from the airport into Venice after dark. Settle into a Grand Canal hotel or intimate palazzo suite, followed by a quiet welcome drink overlooking the water.
Carnival after dark, for the independently curious
Venice, Behind the Mask

The itinerary
Day by day,
beautifully considered.
This is the journey's natural rhythm. Every stage can be refined around your dates, interests and preferred pace.
The making of a second self
Meet a costume specialist and master mask-maker for a private fitting and commission. Later, explore hidden Venice with a local host before a table chosen to ease you into the city’s nocturnal rhythm.
Behind the palace doors
Enter the Doge’s Palace through a reserved special itinerary, then return to dress for a premium table at the official Carnival Dinner Show — live performance, dinner and dancing in one extraordinary night.
The masked invitation
A slow morning preserves the night ahead. Your selected masked ball or palazzo gathering is chosen for atmosphere, provenance and its genuine social energy, with private water transport waiting when you decide to leave.
Glass, islands & another night
Travel privately into the lagoon for an atelier encounter with a Murano glass master, returning by water for an evening of opera, a private salon or an intimate masked celebration.
Venice, unscripted
Keep the final day deliberately open: meet a new acquaintance again, revisit a favourite sestiere or accept one last carefully considered invitation. A farewell dinner remains reserved should you wish to return to yourself.
After the masks
Depart by private water taxi, or remain in Venice independently. Whatever the city revealed belongs entirely to you.
