When is the best time for a River cruise in Venice ?

The Uniworld Venice river cruise usually runs from April to November each year.
April to June offers milder temperatures and is an excellent time for sightseeing, before the peak summer crowds.
July to August is peak summer season with very hot days & high humidity. The main tourist sites will be very busy, but it does add the buzz if you don’t mind crowds
September to October is we think a great time to visit, the temperatures are still nice enough to enjoy outdoor dining and humidity is lower.
