gondola ride

Canal boat trip

A gondola ride is a trip in a gondola—the long, narrow boats propelled by a single oar that serve as iconic transport through Venice's canals.

The term typically evokes romantic tourism: We took a gondola ride on our honeymoon.

Gondola ride also applies to enclosed cabins on ski lifts or aerial tramways: The gondola ride to the summit takes fifteen minutes.
