DRONE MEDIA OF YOUR CRUISE
An aerial Drone is great for proposals, surprises, or just to document your experience. A beautiful set of at least 5 professionally edited photos will be emailed to you within a week after the cruise. This enhancement is not available for night time cruises and does not include professional edits or highlight reel.
If you are interested in using the gondola for a wedding and/or reception we ask that you give us at least two weeks notice. We’re happy for your exciting day and look forward to making it extra special. Please fill out our contact form to get started by outlining your special event.
If you’re looking for places to take engagement photos, Christmas card photos, Holiday photos or even pet photos, you’re in the right place! We provide you with a Venetian Gondola and Gondolier in the complete attire. Click here to read more!
Your gondolier will be ready at the scheduled time. If the guests arrive late the gondolier will do his best to give you as much of the allotted cruise time as possible, but will unfortunately need to be back at the dock before the start of the next cruise. The last thing that we at the Black Swan Gondola Company want to do is provide you with a shorter than normal cruise, but we have to be respectful of all our guests.
Once purchased, your trip is NON-refundable since your gondola is being guaranteed for the date and time that you choose. However, we do allow for reschedules at least 48 hours in advance. If you would like to reschedule your trip, please reach out to the Black Swan Gondola Company at 877.760.9196 and we would be happy to help you with your request. Rescheduling is subject to availability.
