New Gondola Cruises Add Romance to Huntington Harbour

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Sept. 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Huntington Beach, Calif., expands its reputation as a romantic getaway with the addition of a new gondola cruise company, Sunset Gondolas, based in Huntington Harbour.

"Sunset Gondolas offers the perfect opportunity for couples to explore a new harbor," said Tyson Davis, co-owner. "Huntington Harbour is ideal for romance: The canals are placid and lined with beautiful homes and gardens, and the night sky and city lights are stunning."

The company currently has two authentic Venetian gondolas, including one from the oldest boat yard in Venice, and will be adding one more. The gondoliers sing opera and are well-versed in trivia and history on Huntington Harbour and Venice.

Sunset Gondolas is located at 16370 Pacific Coast Highway and offers cruises seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. Cruise packages begin at $80 for two people per hour and includes a complimentary photograph. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages. Blankets and stemware are provided. Christmas and Valentine's Day holiday packages are available. To book a cruise, call (562) 592-3295.
