About S.S. La Venezia

S.S. La Venezia is a Uniworld Boutique River Cruises cruise ship, in service since 2003. She carries 126 guests with a crew of 43. We rate her 4.0 out of 5.

S.S. La Venezia is a 126-guest river ship, 361 feet (110 m) long, that cruises the Venetian Lagoon from Venice. It entered service in 2003 as River Countess and was completely redesigned in 2020, returning under its new name with decor modeled on Venetian style of the early 20th century: Fortuny fabrics, Murano glass, gilding and etched details. Ristorante Rialto is the main dining room, and other spaces include Harry's Bar & Lounge, a panini bar, La Cantinetta and Cielo's on the top deck. Itineraries range from a weeklong round trip from Venice to combinations with Rome and Slovenia and cruise-and-rail journeys to Istanbul.

Explore the deck plans

What’s above your ceiling matters as much as the view. Compare the decks around your cabin, then use the location notes to build your shortlist.

Applicability follows the operator’s explicit sailing-year selector, rather than the image filename. Confirm the exact cabin category, view, bed setup, connections and access with Uniworld. Quieter/avoid notes distinguish operator-confirmed features from inferred adjacency; they are not measured sound ratings. The sun/roof deck is supplied only as a side elevation, with no separate top-down plan in this artwork. The operator combines two separately named deck areas in one diagram row; that combined layout is preserved in one selector.

Cabins to avoid & quieter candidates

  • Accommodation overlap on Burano Deck / Mazzorbo Deck between Torcello Deck and Murano Deck

    Compare Burano Deck / Mazzorbo Deck cabin overlap

    Shortlist a cabin with accommodation immediately above and below. Check the exact footprint, service spaces, lift/stair access and connecting doors.

    Why we flag this

    The ship-specific operator diagrams identify accommodation and public-space boundaries on these named decks. The preference depends on actual cabin overlap, not a guarantee that the entire deck is quiet. Check the source plan.

  • Murano Deck alongside Ristorante Rialto, Harry’s Bar & Lounge and Panini Bar

    Check Murano Deck near public venues and rooftop activity

    Compare the exact cabin with Ristorante Rialto, Harry’s Bar & Lounge and Panini Bar on its own deck and ask about any rooftop activity above. Confirm venue hours and doors/circulation. The sun-deck source is a side elevation, so it does not establish a precise overhead footprint.

    Why we flag this

    The ship-specific operator drawing places public facilities beside this accommodation block and shows the roof/sun deck in profile. This is a conditional adjacency caution, not a report that all upper-deck cabins are noisy. Check the source plan.

  • Torcello Deck cabins near guest laundry and stair/lift access

    Check Torcello Deck public-space proximity

    Compare the precise cabin with guest laundry and stair/lift access. Ask about activity, meal/service hours, doors and circulation for the spaces closest to the room.

    Why we flag this

    The operator diagram labels these facilities alongside accommodation. Proximity is an inferred activity tradeoff, not a verified noise complaint. Check the source plan.

Location-based guidance, not measured noise or a guarantee of quiet. Flags identify areas to investigate, not every cabin on a deck.
