The American multinational transportation company, UBER, has recently launched exclusive boat services for tourists this summer. The boats are being rolled out in some of the most popular tourist places like Venice.
Paris will host Uber Cruise from 12 July to 3 August, right at the time of the Olympics. It will be a free one-hour ride, and guests will be able to enjoy views of iconic locations like Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower while sipping wine.
Tourists can use their existing Uber app to summon a limo boat. The boats cost €120 per trip and can accommodate six people at a time. Tourists can board the boats between 8 AM and 8 PM daily and witness the beauty of the Venetian Lagoon. The service launched on 3 July 2024 and has around 200 pick-up or drop-off points around the city.
Many people opt for self-drive boats, but navigation can be challenging in a country packed with islands. Uber’s boat service can help people avoid this situation. The Uber app will allow residents of Corfu, Santorini, and Athens, one of the top visiting places in Greece, to explore the island’s hard-to-reach beaches by water easily.
Across Athens, Corfu, Santorini, etc destinations, the service will be available between 9 AM and 9 PM, and the prices will differ depending on places. The minimum fare is €200.
The Uber yacht will be available from the Balearic islands this August. It can accommodate up to eight people and has an eight-hour trip. This service also offers a complimentary bottle of Champagne and locally sourced snacks. Tourists must book a yacht in advance via the Uber app.
