Cruising the World One Port at a Time
How to Navigate Between Venice Italy Cruise Ports, Train Station and More
By: Sherry Laskin · Updated On: September 24, 2022
Gondolas and canals. Romance and intrigue. Mystery and magic, Venice, Italy has it all. But there’s one major change for passengers that hope to cruise past Piazza San Marco.
As of July 2021, cruise ships weighing over 25,000 tons are now banned from using the Venice Cruise Port. This means that the view of sailing past iconic St Mark’s Square, and into the narrow Giudecca Canal is over.
With cruise ships will no longer able to dock in the city-center port, they’ll be rerouted to the mainland and to the industrial port of Marghera.
This creates an entirely new set of directions to get to the Venice city-center, airport, train station and the other embarkation ports.
There’s not much more to say about this iconic view in Venice. Simply amazing.
How to Go from Porto Marghera Cruise Port to Venice
Porto Marghera is where almost all cruise ships will have to dock when visiting Venice. The new law forbids cruise ships from sailing past Piazza San Marco to or from the city cruise port. This could cause your few days in Venice before or after your cruise to be a little more complicated.
The good news is that there’s a train at Porto Marghera that will whisk you into the heart of Venice at Santa Lucia train station, in just seven minutes. Another reason to make sure that you pack light so you can manage to haul your suitcases.
Once you arrive at Santa Lucia Station, this is when you need to know how to get around a city that doesn’t have any street transportation.
Most people fly directly to Venice for either their vacation or to board a cruise ship. Others may opt for a river cruise Or like me, spend a night or two in Paris and then take an overnight train from Paris to Venice .
It’s a memorable sight as your train slowly crosses the Venice Lagoon and the Venetian skyline appears on the horizon as you enter heart of this island-city.
Getting Between Porto Marghera, Santa Lucia Station, Airport and Hotels
Although the new big ship cruise port in Marghera isn’t very pretty or scenic, it is easier to get into Venice with only taking one train and you’re there.
But first, there are some basics to learn. Knowing the difference between a vaporetto or private water taxi is crucial. Riding in a private water taxi, in my opinion, something everyone should try at least once. It’s expensive as a solo traveler, but I would do it again without hesitation.
Difference Between a Vaporetto and Water Taxi
This used to confuse me and I’ll clarify for you. Think of a vaporetto as a public bus on the water. There are two companies that operate vaporetti (plural for vaporetto); ACTV and Alilaguna.
ACTV is best for traveling around Venice and the islands. Alilaguna, as far as cruise passengers are concerned, is mainly for connecting between the airport and cruise port. Links to both companies are at the bottom of this article.
If you want to avoid crowds and glide through the canals on your own private “yacht” then opt for the more expensive water taxi.
Think of these as land-based taxis back home. This is your best option for early morning flights TO the airport from your hotel. Yes, there is rush hour on the canals.
First view of Venice as you exit the Santa Lucia train station.
To and From Santa Lucia Train Station to the Former Large Ship Cruise Port
If you’re booked on a very small ship or taking a river cruise from Venice, this is still where you’ll board the ship.
Going from Santa Lucia Station may seem daunting but it’s actually easy. You can even walk part of the distance if your luggage isn’t too heavy.
- After you exit the train station, turn right and walk along the Grand Canal for a short distance.
- Cross the Ponte della Costituzione glass and steel bridge to Piazzale Roma.
From Piazzale Roma
There are a few choices to reach the nearby Stazione Marittima (former large ship cruise port). Remember, as of July 2021, ships over 25,000 tons are not permitted to dock here. They are now rerouted to Porto Marghera, an industrial port.
Once again, if you’re on a very small ship or river ship, this is where those ships will dock.
- If your arms are tired from hauling luggage, you can take a taxi for a few euros right to the terminal from Piazzale Roma
- Wait for or hurry to the free shuttle bus which runs about every 15 minutes
- Take a really short tram/train ride on the driverless People Mover. Sort of like the connector trams at airports. You’ll find a ticket machine inside the glass-enclosed ticket kiosk. You’ll quickly reach the Marittima exit (cruise terminal) – it’s the first stop along the way – in only a few minutes.
- If you’re traveling really light and feeling adventurous, you can walk to the cruise terminal from Piazzale Roma. Start walking as if leaving Venice, following the busy causeway that leads over to the mainland. Once you’ve crossed over the water and train tracks, turn left into the terminal. But I really don’t recommend walking over to the port.
Take a Vaporetto Part of the Way
- After exiting Santa Lucia train station, in front of you is the magnificent Grand Canal. You’ll find the ACTV vaporetto floating docks to your left. You want to buy a ticket for either #1 or #2 vaporetto going to Piazzale Roma.
- Be prepared for a 30-40 minute boat ride. #1 is a local water bus and #2 is an express water bus. Both will give you a lovely waterborne introduction to Venice.
- Once you arrive at Piazzale Roma, follow the options above.
Transportation to Your Hotel
Whether you arrive by air or train, the public vaporetti (plural for vaporetto) and private water taxis are waiting to take you to your hotel as soon as you step out of either terminal. Here’s where it gets tricky and a little preparation can go a long way.
Remember, there are only two ways to get around Venice: by foot or by boat.
Most important: pack light. The less luggage you have to haul around, the happier you will be. It’s probably more daunting to arrive into Venice by train than depart. And getting to or from the main cruise port, Stazione Marittima, is an experience worth planning in advance.
If you’re arriving into Porto Maghera, it’s easier to get to the city center, as I mentioned earlier in this article.
At the Stazione Marittima Cruise Terminal via my water taxi. You won’t see these big ships here anymore.
Venice Cruise Port – Stazione Marittima
You can hire a private water taxi (90 € or more) or hop aboard a public vaporetto to travel between Santa Lucia train terminal and either of the two cruise ship ports.
It’s the walk between where your water vaporetto or water taxi docks, at either Venice cruise port – the larger Stazione Marittima cruise terminal or the adjacent smaller San Basilio port, that can be a potential nightmare if you’re not prepared.
San Basilio Cruise Port
If you are lucky and your smaller ship is docked at San Basilio, you are a short walk along a paved path to the San Basilio vaporetto and water taxi station.
It is likely, when docked at San Basilio, that your ship will run a 2-minute shuttle bus ride between the ship and the San Basilio water taxi/vaporetto floating station. This was the case on my recent Viking Star cruise from Barcelona to Venice.
From your hotel or train station to your ship at Stazione Marittima, luggage is usually checked right where either the water taxi or vaporetto lets you off, assuming that cruise ship representatives and luggage trollies are present.
On a cruise a couple of years ago, arriving by private water taxi, I was able to check my biggest suitcase to send to the ship. But because I had a case with my computer, another packed full with camera equipment and yet another small case with makeup/breakables.
I ended up pulling three small but very heavy two-wheeled suitcases for what seemed like miles.
My pre-arranged private water taxi to get to the cruise terminal.
Arriving or Departing From the Airport
You’ll still have to get to or from the airport (mainland) and Venice Island. If arriving, look for signs to the water taxis and vaporettos just outside the arrival area and it’s the same procedure as above at the cruise port.
Take a public vaporetto (water bus) to your hotel or cruise ship if you don’t have much luggage.
Getting to/from Your Hotel in Venice
Many times for new visitors, finding their hotel means walking and pulling luggage on cobblestones, up steps and over bridges and sometimes up several flights of stairs if you’ve chosen a penzione.
INSIDER TIP: choose accommodations near a water bus (vaporetto) stop.
The #1 vaporetto runs between the cruise terminal, the train station and St. Mark’s Square and other stops in-between which may be convenient to your hotel. Note: Your vaporetto may be crowded so be prepared. This is why I love the private water taxis.
Note: Since private water taxis can hold up to six-eight people, you could ask others in the water taxi queue if they’d like to share, provided of course that you are all headed to the same destination.
Entrance to the Hotel Danieli for the private water taxis.
Believe it or not , there are land porters for hire to haul your luggage from point to point. Either phone or ask your hotel concierge for a list of companies.
READ NEXT: My review of the glamourous Hotel Danieli in Venice
They’re expensive but might be worth it. This saved my sanity when I had to change hotels from the Hotel Danieli to the Westin Europa, on totally opposite sides of St. Mark’s Square.
Yes, people carry their luggage up and over bridges to get to their hotels.
Buy Your Vaporetto Pass Online
You can buy your water bus (vaporetto) pass before you leave home. Simply visit the ACTV website where you can view all of the options. This will cost about 7.50 € pp and it makes several passenger stops. This is not the private water taxi service. For that, you look for a private water taxi at the dock or arrange it online or through your concierge. It’s at least 90 € but it’s the entire boat.
Alilaguna operates several lines, noted by their color. But for going from airport to cruise port, they depart every 15 minutes. Click the link for schedules and to purchase online.
Reserve Your Private Water Taxi
Some private water taxis add a mandatory meet and greet at the train station and charge for the service.
But the upside is that you don’t have to pull/push/drag your luggage through the station, down the steps and through the crowds at the waterfront and then determine which water taxi is the one you reserved.
Princess cruise ship on the Grand Canal
Cruise ships on the Venetian Lagoon in Venice are gone. Conservation groups finally won the battle of the behemoths, citing erosion and pollution as the two main reasons.
You can’t blame the Venetians for their drive to preserve this easily flooded and slowly sinking magnificent island.

Hi Barry, Thank you for reading my article. Yours is the first question I’ve received since Venice banned the large ships. I’m guessing you are cruising with Royal Caribbean aboard the Brilliance. Because there is no direct train from Venice Santa Lucia to Ravenna, I would suggest taking the ship’s shuttle service that is most likely offered at the Venice airport to Ravenna. Check with your travel agent or contact your cruise line. It’s not a short jaunt between the two cruise ports. Definitely think about arranging transportation with the cruise line from the Venice airport. It would be a shame to get all the way to the airport in Venice and not be able to spend the day there, so maybe they offer a pre-cruise shore excursion to Venice. I hope this is somewhat helpful. Enjoy your cruise and thank you again for writing. I am sorry if I can’t be of more help.

Hi Sherry, We have a group of 8 people – arrive to Venice Marco Polo Airport on Sept 10, 2022 and need to get to “Ravenna Cruise Port, Porto Corsini 48123, Ravenna – Italy on Sept 11, 2022. Please advise is there Airport Shuttle or Water taxi from Venice Marco Polo Airport to the Ravenna Cruise Port?
Best, Barry Ma

Hi Margaret, Thank you very much for your kind words. And lucky you for going to Venice! You didn’t mention your ship’s cruise port but unless you’re on a very small ship, you will most likely (if the law should suddenly change) have to now board your ship at Porto Marghera, an ugly industrial port. From the airport you can can hire a taxi, take a vaporetto (they’re right outside the airport) or reserve a private water taxi. Most likely and the easiest to do would be to arrange transfers through the cruise line. They’ll collect you and your luggage and head straight to the ship.
After your cruise, it’s an easy 10-minute train ride from Porto Marghera to Venice’s Santa Lucia Station. From there, you have only two choices; walk to your hotel if it is very close (remember there are bridges and cobblestones and narrow streets), pile into a vaporetto, or hire a private water taxi.
Thank you again for taking the time to read my article and submit your question. Have a wonderful vacation in Italy.

Great Article! My friends and I are heading to Venice in June for a 7 night cruise then returning to Venice to stay for 2 nights before heading home. What is the best way to get from the airport to the cruise port? Thanks in advance!
January 27, 2020 at 8:20 pm
Hi Debra, Thank you for reading my Venice article. I highly recommend that they do not attempt to walk from the cruise port to the People Mover to the bridge and train station. The bridge that have to cross is the Ponte della Costituzione, a new, very long glass bridge that can also be slippery when wet. Please have them take a look at this bridge before making a decision. With five people, they could (you could do it for them) reserve a private water taxi and split the cost. I think this would be the most convenient, less stressful and certainly less strenuous way to get to Santa Lucia train station. It should only cost about $20 USD or less with all five of them. I hope this is helpful. Once you see the bridge, you’ll know what I mean. Tourists hauling luggage trip, fall or twist ankles because of the way the steps are arranged. Thank you again for reading my article and taking the time to write. Best, Sherry

Hi Sherry, Great information. I am a travel agent and haven’t been to Venice in about 10 years. I have 5 ladies (2 in their 70’s and 1 of the younger gals has difficulty with a limp). They are arriving May 9th on the RCL Rhapsody of the Seas. They want to take their luggage to the Trains Station and store it there while they sightsee. My question to you, how should they get from the cruise port to the station? Can they get on the people mover and if so, should we purchase the tickets ahead of time? Thank you, Debra
January 6, 2020 at 12:08 pm
Hi James, I sort of thought that once you saw the bridge and the very low steps, it would be do-able. For your train ticket, if it was me and I knew the time and date that I’d leave from Santa Lucia to Rome, I’d get my ticket ahead of time here. Mainly because I don’t want to fumble with getting out my wallet and guard my luggage to purchase my ticket. In your case and with two people, one is the “luggage guard” while the other gets the ticket. It’s always easier with four eyes. I’ve purchased tickets on the fly at Roma Termini using the kiosk and all was fine, though I was constantly watching my luggage and carry-on.
Which brings me to the next point, when you get to Roma Termini, walk straight head towards the main doors, directly and firmly from the train platform to the taxi rank directly in front of the station. Maybe you’ve already been in and through Termini in which case, please disregard my warning. If anyone asks you if you need directions or assistance, a loud, firm “NO” will do and keep walking. Head out the doors to the taxi. I’ve arrived into Termini at 10pm and there were a few panhandlers working the taxi line, too.
And one more suggestion, at Santa Lucia, there are handicapped (accessible) ramps on both sides of the station that makes it much easier to enter the station instead of the long flight of steps in the front. If you’re early, once you’re in the station…all the way in the left corner (as you face the trains) is a coffee shop. One of you can sit with the luggage while the other gets coffee. Have a fabulous cruise! And thank you very much for reading my article and taking the time to write. Best, Sherry
January 6, 2020 at 12:08 am
thank you Sherry. after google I think it will be ok for me to carry the luggege over the bridge. one more question: is it easy to buy train tickets to rome at Santa Lucia stations or I have to buy them in advance ? thank you again. James
January 3, 2020 at 1:35 am
Hi James, Thank you for your questions. With your two large pieces of luggage, you will end up dragging them up the steps and there are a lot of step. If you google “Calatrava Bridge Venice” you’ll seen what I mean. And with such a long bridge, going back and forth twice would be a long haul. On the positive side, the rise of the steps is very low and thousands of people bump their luggage up, across and down the bridge every day. If your luggage wheels are sturdy, I’d say that’s the way to do it. I don’t know you or your wife’s ages, strength or mobility, but when you see the photo of the bridge, I think you’ll have a much better idea. I’d bet it’s at least 200 steps total, up and over and down.
For your second question, you can buy your People Mover ticket at the station from the kiosk. Have euro change with you, enough for both of you. So far, the cost is 1.50euro per person. An alternative is to take a taxi from outside the cruise terminal to Maestre and then a train into Venice Santa Lucia station.
Your ship’s front desk will also be able to give you a map and maybe more advice.
Thank you again for reading my article and have a wonderful cruise and time in Venice. Sherry

hi, sherry: I plan to use the people mover and walk over bridge to the station. only thing I am worrying about is the luggage. I an d my wife have two large luggage and one small luggage. is it ok for me to carry two large luggage to walk over the stairs to cross the bridge, or one by one each time? total how many stairs ? also is it ok if I just go to the train station and buy the ticket? or I have to buy the ticket in advance? thank you
August 10, 2019 at 11:09 pm
Hi Annette, Thank you for your comment. In a perfect world, one would think that you should be able to get your luggage and take the people mover, walk etc. to Santa Lucia in time for the 10:25am train. However, in my opinion, that is cutting it a little close. You could ask MSC when you are onboard for priority debarkation. Assuming that the ship is cleared at exactly 8am (or maybe earlier!) then if you do not put your luggage outside of your door the night before and do a self-assist early walk-off, then yes, it definitely could be possible.
I am confused as to why you are going to Civitavecchia via Florence and Pisa for six hours. The train to Roma Termini is about a 3 1/2 hour ride and then to connect to Civitavecchia would be another 45 minute train ride. Maybe for the chance to go through Pisa and Florence.
I hope your connection works. I’ve taken an 11 am train from Santa Lucia on debarkation day, but as a solo, I opted to share a private water taxi with two other people from my ship. We arrived at the train station with about a half-hour to spare. There is a busy coffee shop at the Venice terminal if you should be lucky and have time before your train arrives. Keep an eye on your luggage. Have a wonderful cruise! Please let me know if this works out for you. Sherry
August 9, 2019 at 7:38 am
Hi Sherry We are sailing with MSC and will be docking in Venice at 08h00 (Oct 2019). I would like to book the 10h25 train departing from Santa Lucia to Florence, Pisa and Civitavecchia , which will take about 6 hrs. We plan to use the people mover and walk over bridge to the station. Is there enough time to catch that train? Is one able to request an early disembarkation from MSC Info desk on the ship? Kind regards, Annette

Hi Nicole, No worries. Your best bet is to contact a travel agent who can find a bus to Florence for your group. I’m sorry I can’t help you with it. From the Marittima to Santa Lucia train station, as you exit the port, follow the signs and you can take the People Mover (little tram ride) to the Piazzale Roma. From there, you’ll cross the glass and metal Calatrava Bridge. It’s only a 10-minute walk to the station. Otherwise you can take the #1 vaporetto somewhere around 7Euros. The staff onboard your ship will be able to answer any logistical questions that you may have. I hope you have a wonderful time in Italy. Sherry
June 2, 2018 at 10:16 pm
I apologize if this sounds redundant, but can you again explain how to get from Marittima to St Lucia train station via water bus and its associated price. After the cruise we would like to visit Florence. Also is there a bus that goes from Venice to Florence? if there is can you please give directions and info for that. My very small group is REALLY trying to keep the price low….any added links are much appreciated.

Hi Marisa, To get from Venice Marittima to Piazza San Marco, yes, a vaporetto is the least expensive and easiest way. You can also arrange a private water taxi, but it is very expensive, around 80-100 Euro. The alternative is to take the land-way with the People Mover tram to Piazza Roma. If you like to walk, you can get to Piazza San Marco that way, too. Have a great time in Italy! Sherry
April 27, 2018 at 10:20 am
To get from the cruise port to Piazza San Marco you have to go by vaporetto ? or you can use some other public transport.

Hi Deb, Lucky you! I love Budapest. Be sure to use Budapest Keleti station (and be sure to admire the beautiful train station!).
For Venice, I think your best, easiest and least expensive and stressful hotel option would be in Maestre, right across the water from Venice island. The city is directly on the train route to Vienna. There’s a Best Western hotel (they’re very nice in Europe) right across from the train station. Then you can zip in and out of Venice via the train and on departure day to Vienna and Budapest, you’re right there.
Another nice feature of staying a couple of nights in Maestre is that it is accessible from the Marittima cruise terminal by land instead of staying in Venice proper and worrying about getting to your hotel from the ship.
Have a wonderful time! Oh! When you’re on the Railjet to Budapest, be sure to order (for a fee) their homemade Hungarian Goulash. I thought it was really good…and fun to have a “local” meal while in transit! Sherry
March 20, 2018 at 7:31 am
We are arriving from Holland Cruise and would like to stay an extra day or two in Venice, before leaving by train for an additional week ending up in Budapest. We are thinking train from Venice to Vienna to Budapest. Any thoughts of where to stay in Venice and how long to stay? Ship arrives Saturday June 16 @ 1pm and we are officially off the ship @ 6am Sunday June 17. We are hoping to be in Budapest on Thursday June 21st. Where to stay in Vienna, near train? Anyplace else we should look at?
March 15, 2018 at 11:37 am
Hi Peggy, The least expensive and easiest way to Marittima Cruise Terminal is to get a hotel in Maestra, just across the water from Venice Island. From there it’s a quick taxi or bus ride to the terminal. If they’re on Venice itself, a hotel close to Piazzale Roma and take either the People Mover tram, taxi or free shuttle to Marittima would be the second choice. If they are staying downtown near Piazza San Marco, they’ll need to haul their luggage to a vaporetto stop, probably over bridges. They will then take the Alilaguna Blue water bus from San Marco-Giardinetti docks to Marittima cruise terminal. It will cost somewhere around 8 euro.
I hope this helps.
March 13, 2018 at 7:34 pm
I have clients who are arriving by Rome to Venice for 1 night and then taking cruise from Venice next day
How do they get from Venice Island to the Port of Venice —easiest and least expensive
thank you Peggy
March 9, 2018 at 6:54 pm
You are on the right path. Yes, I would suggest the #1 Water Bus/vaporetto. It will be somewhat scenic as you make your way to the Rialto Bridge stop. If you can budget for it, I like to suggest to first time visitors to reserve a water taxi. Yes, it is more expensive, but for some first timers, it takes away any anxiety. Since you are a “we” that means you’ll have four eyes to help you navigate through this incredible city. You can always ask the ticket seller for directions…most have a good grasp of English. Have a wonderful time! Sherry
March 9, 2018 at 3:00 am
Hi we disembarking at Marittima Port and need to get to Hotel Rialto which I understand is at Rialto Bridge, we haven’t been to Venice before so have little idea on which Water Bus we should get in order to get to the Rialto- can you guide me – I’ve been looking at the ACTV Water Bus Map Routes and thinking we need get on either the 1 or 2 line which both stop at Rialto Bridge is the correct? you help is soooo appreciated as we are very very green.
January 8, 2018 at 4:56 pm
Lucky you! It’s easy to get from the Maritima Cruise Terminal to Santa Lucia train station. The most expensive way (and most scenic) is to arrange for a private water taxi. The ride to the station will include a trip down the Grand Canal, too. That will run about $120 USD. It can be arranged onboard. Alternatively, walk from the Maritima Cruise Terminal to the People Mover and take it to the Piazzale Roma exit. From there you can walk to the Venice train station if you do not have much luggage, due to steps over bridges, or take a Vaporetto to the station. Also, your cruise ship might have transfers available to take you from the cruise terminal to Maestre, the train station on the mainland.
Please read my post again, only read the directions in reverse. You can also look at my map here to get your bearings.
Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy Venice and Rome. Thank you for your email.

Hello, we are planning to take a train from Venice to Rome this summer after our ship docks in Venice. What is the best way to travel to the train station from the cruise ship dock? Which train station is closest to the dock. I believe we are docking the main pier in Venice.
September 9, 2017 at 1:46 pm
Hi Joelle, I’m so sorry I couldn’t be of help earlier; it’s a transit day for me, too. I hope your transportation worked out okay. Have a wonderful cruise! Sherry
September 9, 2017 at 2:19 am
Hello Sherry, Do you know how to get to the Royal Carribean Rhapsody of the sea ftom Venice Calle Del Magazine Tre Archi? Thank you! We have to check out at 1030am and cruise departs at 5pm today!
June 29, 2017 at 11:28 pm
Hi Beth, Oh good! I hoped that you would nix the walking to the port. I think you’ll do fine! Have a wonderful trip! Sherry
June 29, 2017 at 3:46 pm
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Definitely not going to navigate stairs with luggage. #2 Vaporetto it will be 🙂
Have a great day!
June 27, 2017 at 9:31 pm
Hi Beth, Thank you for your question! I’m doing a brand new post with photos, just for you. I’ll publish it tomorrow, Wednesday, and I’ll go back here and insert the link. Thank you again. I’m sure this will be helpful for others, too.
My best advice is to not walk the distance. It’s not easy, has tons of bridges with steps. It’s also not a great walk from the train station to the main cruise terminal either. The new article is done and here’s the link: https://cruisemaven.com/venice-train-station-san-basilio-cruise-terminal/
I hope this clears up all questions. Have a wonderful trip!
June 27, 2017 at 1:54 pm
Hi Ms. Kennedy,
Your information is so helpful. I just want to make sure I have the most up to date information. I read your post to Ms. Karen on May 10, 2016. We are arriving by train to the VENEZIA S LUCIA on July 14, 2017. Our ship departs from San Basillo pier. After being on the train for 7.5 hours from Basel we will need a walk I understand that we “Turn right after you exit the train station, walk along the Grand Canal for a short distance. Cross the Ponte della Costituzione glass and steel bridge to Piazzale Roma” from another website. Is this where we purchase a ticket to the pier or can we continue and walk from Piazzala Roma. Our luggage is on wheels and we love to walk. I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
June 2, 2017 at 10:28 am
Hi Robyn, From Hotel Baglioni, there are two vaporetto platforms – San Marco Vallaresso and San Marco Giardinetti. You will want to take either the #1 or #2 vaporetto. Keep in mind that the #1 vaporetto does not stop at Giardinetti. The #2 water bus will be a little shorter travel time than the #1. But allow an hour including walking time with luggage, buying your ticket etc. Your stop for Santa Lucia train station is Ferrovia. Once there, the station is right in front of you. There are gentle walking ramps that flank the wide staircase. You just have to look a little to find them as the concrete sort of blends in with the steps and buildings.
I always suggest arriving at any train station in Europe no more than 30 minutes prior to departure. Since your train begins in Venice, you will be allowed to board maybe 10-15 minutes prior to departure. There’s a café overlooking the train platforms but finding a seat can be a challenge at times. So for a 10:25am departure, if you are planning to take a vaporetto, I’d leave the hotel by 8:30am. If you want to splurge a bit (really a lot!), consider hiring a private water taxi. It will whisk you from the hotel to Santa Lucia station in about 20 minutes and you’ll have the entire boat to yourself. You can ask your hotel to arrange it (they’ll probably pad in a fee) or book it yourself, either online or when you’re in Venice.
I hope this information is helpful. Have a wonderful time in Venice!

Hello I am travelling from baglioni hotel to Venice s Lucia train leaves at 10.25am to go to Naples what do you suggest best way to get to station and what time do you think I should plan to get to station, Thankyou for you help

Hi Diane, As you exit from Santa Lucia train station, there’s a wide flight of step downward (there are also two ramps on either side of the entrance) and right in front of you, you’ll find the vaporetti boarding docks. Here’s the link the schedule (copy & paste): . I didn’t find an English version, but the route you want is Ferrovia to P. Le Roma. Translated it’s from Santa Lucia to Piazzale Roma, where the People Mover tram is located. Alternatively, you can make a right turn out of the train station, walk along the Grand Canal for a short distance and cross the glass-and-steel Ponte della Costituzione bridge to Piazzale Roma and the People Mover tram. If your arms hurt from hauling luggage, for a few euros you can catch a taxi to the cruise port. There should also be a free shuttle public bus to the cruise port, too. Once you’ve done this, it will be easy peasy the next time! Thanks for asking…I hope this is helpful. Sherry

Can you please tell me where to get the vaparetto from San Lusia and how long and how much it costs to get to the port we are sailing on Royal Carabbean thank you in advance.

Hi Catalina, Thank you very much. You’ve welcome! Have a wonderful trip! Sherry

Thank you so much Sherry!!! This was incredibly helpful!

Hi Catalina,
My first suggestion would be to purchase your cruise line’s airport transfers to the cruise port. If you have their transfers, then there’s no worry about getting to the ship on time as other guests will also arrive and have purchased transfers, too. It’s about a 2 hour public boat ride from the airport to the cruise port.
It helps to know that both the airport and Maritima cruise port are accessible via land transportation as well as water transport.
A taxi ride from the airport to the Maritima takes about 20 minutes for about $40. Or you can take an public airport shuttle to Piazzale Roma and then take a short taxi ride or the People Mover (an elevated tram/train) to the Maritima Basin entrance. Or if you don’t have much luggage, it’s somewhat walkable (15-20 minutes) from Piazzale Roma to the cruise port.
The best way to get to Florence from Venice is by train and Santa Lucia is the train station on Venice island. There’s also Maestre station on the mainland but I’ve never used it. There are several departures throughout the day leaving at :25 past the hour. I’d suggest nothing before the 11:25am train. You don’t want to arrive more than 30 minutes before your train. There’s a café there but seats are hard to find. It’s only a two-hour and five minute train ride.
Getting to Santa Lucia: If you don’t have tons of luggage you can make your way from the cruise port to Piazzale Roma, either on foot or People Mover train. From Maritima to Santa Lucia station, follow the signs as you leave the port for the People Mover to Piazzale Roma. From there, you can follow the crowds and cross the bridge to the station. Keep in mind that you will encounter steps (all bridges have steps) and hauling luggage up, across and over can be exhausting. You can also find water taxis to the train station.
Because it’s an island without cars or taxis, getting around Venice can be very confusing on your first visit. After that, it all makes sense!
Good luck and have a wonderful time in Italy and on your cruise.

I need some help/advice. I arrive into Marco Polo and my cruise leaves from Marittima. I was looking at the Ailaguna passes as I would rather not pay for a private water taxi. On the way back my ship arrives into Marittima and I need to go to Florence. I was considering taking the train to Florence. My question is my plane arrives in Venice at noon and we should be boarding the ship about 3ish is that enough time to go from the airport to the cruise port? Also would Ailaguna be the best option to get from the airport to the cruise port other than the private boat? One last thing, where would I grab the train to get to Florence from the cruise port and what mode of transportation would be best to use? Thanks a million!
May 12, 2017 at 9:05 am
Hi Melanie,
My best advice, since there are four of you, would be to hire a private water taxi and share the cost. It will take you directly to Santa Lucia station with plenty of time for a coffee at the café near the platform. Also, Santa Lucia station has two accessible ramps that flank the entrance to the station which are perfect for hauling a large suitcase, instead of bumping and dragging it up the stairs. I have taken the exact same train to Rome and used a private water taxi to make life easier and less stressful with connections.
If you are all on a budget, then yes, I’d say to go to Maestra instead, since it’s on the mainland. But make sure your train stops there! To the best of my knowledge, not all Santa Lucia trains stop at Maestra. Have a fabulous cruise and trip in Italy!
May 5, 2017 at 4:17 pm
I have a couple of questions. We will be getting back to Venice from our MSC cruise at 9am. We want to take the high speed train to Rome. There will be 4 of us each with a large suitcase. Is it easier to get to the Maestra train station or the Lucia train station and is it doable to arrive to the train by 11:45 am?
March 18, 2017 at 5:13 pm
Hi Dita, thank you for your nice comment about this article. The most simple way to get from the airport to Marittima cruise terminal is to purchase the cruise line’s transfers . To take the tram from the airport to Piazzale Roma is the least expense way to go.
If you want to take the ATVO to Piazzale Roma (the junction where you make connections to the port) visit ATVO Web site’s Venice Airport pages and select Venice Marco Polo Airport – Venice Piazzale Roma (Express Service).
Once you’re at the Piazzale Roma, that’s when you can decide if you’d like to try the People Mover for a one-minute ride to Marittima Terminal. It’s a little bit of a walk as you exit the People Mover train just outside the port entrance. You could also take a taxi to the port or look for a possibly free shuttle at Piazzale Roma to your ship.
Figure that unless you take a private water taxi at about 120€ (for 6-8 people), you can expect to pay less than 10€ per person. I hope this additional info is helpful. Have a wonderful trip! Sherry Sherry
March 15, 2017 at 10:46 pm
Hi Sherry, Looking at the Alilaguna blue line, it looks like you can take it from the airport and stops at the cruise terminal. But which Terminal is it? Is it the Marittima Cruise Terminal? This is the other option I am exploring vs. the ATVO airport express to Piazzale Roma. Which will you recommend? Thanks again. Dita
March 15, 2017 at 10:36 pm
Hi Sherry, your information and tips on getting to/from airport to Marittima Cruise Terminal is very helpful. We are taking NCl cruise from Venice in August,2017. Our plane arrives at VCE airport at around 9.40 am. on the day the cruise departs. I am thing of taking The airport express (ATVO) to Piazzale Roma. I have read from your post that you can Tram 1 from the Marittima cruise terminal to Piazzale Roma. Can we take this tram from Piazzale Roma to Marittima Cruise Terminal? Do we enoough time to do this? How much does it cost to take this Tram ? Are there othe tram, since you mention Tram 1. Your advise is greatly appreciated. Dita

Hi Marshal, If you arrive into Venice airport at 2pm, keep in mind that you’ll need to check in at the cruise terminal no later than 4 or 4:30pm. I would advise that you ask your travel agent or contact the cruise line to know exactly when the cut-off time is for embarkation. Two hours should be enough time for public transportation as long as you don’t get lost. You might also ask about purchasing airport to ship transfers through the cruise line. It could save you a lot of headache. Then you could take public transport from the ship to the airport, instead. Have a wonderful cruise!
November 30, 2016 at 3:56 am
hi my plane arriving in venice airport @2pm and my cruise (ncl) departs at 6pm is that enough time for me if I use public transportations.
September 7, 2016 at 9:48 pm
Hi Joe, thanks for your question. The travel time between Santa Lucia and the Marittima Cruise Terminal could be determined on how you choose to get there. If you make a reservation for a private water taxi, it would only be about a 20-miinute scenic, stress-free boat ride. Or you could take a public vaporetto; they run about every 15 minutes from Santa Lucia and could take about 30 to 40-minutes. My article has links to both so you can make your reservation. If you are traveling with several others, a private water taxi is definitely the best way to go, as it costs about 90 euro for the entire boat vs. less than $10 for a vaporetto ticket.
For me, when I arrive into Venice after an overnight train ride, I’ve saved up to afford a private water taxi along with someone at the platform to help me with luggage. There are now two ramps on either side of the exit doors so that makes getting from the station to the water’s edge a little easier.
Have a wonderful trip! Sherry
September 7, 2016 at 6:35 pm
How long does it take to get from Santa Lucia train station to the cruise port (NCL)?? What is the best way to get there?
May 31, 2016 at 10:14 pm
Hi Marline, I’m guessing you will be staying at a hotel in Mestre. It’s easy to get there from the big cruise ship terminal, Marittima. For about €30-40 you can hop into a taxi as you exit the terminal (follow the signs or follow the crowd!). If you’d rather save your money, you can take the T1 tram to Piazzale Roma, a central hub for vehicles. If you’re traveling light, there is a public bus but if you’re not familiar with the buses, especially just coming off a ship, I’d go with the other two ideas. I hope this is helpful. Have a wonderful cruise. Sherry

What is the best way to get from the cruise port (NCL) to Mestre?
May 23, 2016 at 2:05 pm
Hi Ana, The BEST way is of course the most expensive: by private water taxi. This can set you back about €110. The good new is that if you can find more people (up to 10 total) to share it with you, the price can be a bargain. I would inquire at the Shore Excursion Desk on your ship if they will sell group transportation to Santa Lucia. It is possible. Also, Viator.com offers a meet and greet at the ship to Santa Lucia station. There is always public transportation on the water bus (vaporetto) that you can try. If you were to take transportation from the ship (at Marittima) to Piazzale Roma, you can the take the #1 ACTV vaporetto to Santa Lucia station. Yes, it all sounds confusing but once you get there, it will be easier. The distance, as the crow flies, from Marittima to Santa Lucia is very close. But because of the canals, it’s a round-about way to get there. Easiest: private water taxi. Least expensive: walk from ship to the People Mover to Piazzale Roma and vaporetto to Train. But…you will have luggage and it’s not always easy to drag luggage. Take land taxi to Piazzale Roma and then the vaporetto.
Thanks again, Ana. I know this is a lot to try to absorb. Best bet, like I mentioned, is to first ask the ship’s tour dept. when you board. Then if they aren’t providing a purchasable transportation option, you’ll still have enough time to book with Viator.
Yes, there is left luggage storage (baggage office – deposito bagagli) at Santa Lucia near Track #1.
May 23, 2016 at 12:24 pm
What is the best way to get from the port terminal (Celebrity cruise ship – Venezia Terminal Passenger Maritima) to the St Lucia train station to go to Florence?
Do you know if the St Lucia train station has lockers or baggage storage?
May 20, 2016 at 3:30 pm
Hi Karen, Lucky you! I would suggest Santa Lucia train station. If you go through Mestre, it’s on the mainland, so it will add to the time needed to get between San Basilio. San Basilio is closer to Santa Lucia than the major Marittima Cruise Terminal. You have options when you arrive in Venice. Walk directly straight ahead after you exit your train and you’ll be right there at the canal. There may even be a vaporetto to go direct to San Basilio. It can be a bit overwhelming so just take a breath, enjoy the first glimpse of Venice and simply ask the ticket vendor (go down the stairs and you’ll see it)for a ticket to San Basilio. There are ramps if your luggage is cumbersome. The ramps are on your right and hopefully the ramp on your left is open, too. Once you get to San Basilio, you’ll see your ship, and there may even be a shuttle provided by your ship between San Basilio Cruise Terminal and boarding. You’ll do embarkation at the small terminal right there as you exit the water transport. Thank you for reading my website! Happy travels! Sherry
May 19, 2016 at 4:34 pm
Hi Sherry. We are going to San Basilio Cruise port from the rail station. Which rail station is best to arrive and the least amount of hassle and expense to San Bailio? Thank you!
March 18, 2016 at 11:00 am
Hi Dolores, Simply exit the airport terminal and look for the Water Taxi sign. You’ll need to know at which cruise port your ship is docked…San Basilio or Marittima. The same will apply from the cruise port to Santa Lucia station. If you’re feeling flush, you can pre-arrange a private water taxi. There are links to all of the info in this article. Have a terrific cruise and Happy Travels! Sherry

What’s the best way to get to Venice cruise port from Venice airport, and from cruise port to Saint Lucia. Train station
June 17, 2015 at 8:34 am
Hi Charlene, Yes, you can come and go from Santa Lucia to the Airport (VCE) but you have to change trains on the mainland at Mestre station. And yes, you can take either a land taxi, water taxi or bus to and from Piazzale Roma. Or take a water bus (about an hour boat ride) from right outside the airport to Piazza San Marco and walk from there.
June 15, 2015 at 6:22 pm
Regarding this informatio “From the airport, you can take either a bus or taxi to Piazzale Roma. From there, you can either walk across the modern-looking bridge or take a vaporetto/water taxi to your hotel. If this seems too daunting (too much luggage) you can board a water taxi at the airport (outside of the customs area) to go to your hotel in Venice. It’s strange to think of Venice as an island without roads. You can buy your water taxi tickets here” Can you also go to the airport via taxi or bus from Piazzale roma? I was under the impression you could take a train from the Santa Lucia station to the airport. I guess I was wrong, thank you for your help.
June 15, 2015 at 9:58 am
Hi Charlene, I’m not sure if you meant to take the train from the airport to Venice (the city/island) or the Marittima Cruise Terminal. Assuming that you mean to go from the airport into Venice, no, you cannot take a train directly into Venice from the airport. On an aside note: You could take a land taxi or bus from the airport to Venice Mestre train station. From there, you can board a train that goes across the water into Venice proper. But that’s a lot of work.

If cruising into oder out of Venice, you’ll be treated for stunning views regarding an Venus Lagoon and Giudecca Canal.
Our sail-in took more better 90 minutes from the time we typed the lagoon to the time we coupled at the primary Venice go terminal, the Stazione Marittima.
It was one of the most grand port arrivals we’ve experienced – navigating past bunte historic fortified and St. Mark’s Four, gondolas bobbing in front, the a sunny September morning. How Till Get To Venice Take Terminal

Time go walk? From the Venice cruise connect to Santa Lucia train station
Taxi from port to Mestre educate station
Venezia shipping terminal
We spent the afternoon and darkness on our ship in Venice.
Then the move middle, like many cruise passengers who disembark in Venecia, we took the line at explore other beautifully positions in Italy .
When planning thy visit to Macaroni , you’ll also expected will to visit various location in addition to Venezia.
Florence, for example, belongs just over 2 hours move by high-speed train.
Another popular city to check from Venice is Milan (also one some 2 hours away). You can easily spend 3 days in Milan – especially are you love shopping!
For us, this Puglia region was our destination.
If them too planned to snap adenine train from Venice under the end of your tour, here’s how to get from the Venice port up the train rank. (This should help yours to avoided getting lost in Venice-based – something that’s quite easy to do!)
Venice hook for train station
Cruise larboard in venetia.
There are two cruise terminals in Venice.
Marittima (where our send docked) a an bowls with several terminals. Large ships with Holland America Line, NCL, Royal Caribbean, Carnival plus other cruise rows port here. How To Get To Venice Cruise Terminal
(The other terminal is the San Basilientum Pier, fairly off the Giudecca Canal.)
Santa Lucia train station
Our lok left from the Venezia Christmas Lucia train station, which is the train station close to the Marittima cruize port.
Getting to the Santa Lucia train station requires 3 steps
1) Exiting the Venice port
2) Walking or taking the People Mover to the Piazzale Roma
3) Crossroad the glass bridge – the Ponte della Costituzione (Constitution Bridge)
Run into Venice upon cruise cable
Per the way, the instructions for getting free the port the Venice switch foot are the same as those required getting go the train station, set get below.
Once at the train station, follow the signs for St. Mark’s Square – press pick off on is self-guided Venice walking tour .
Step 1) Close one Marittima Venice port
Once you’ve leave your ship press collected your bags, you sack either walk to the terminal exit press take a ship shuttle.
Maximum ships offer an complimentary transport. The walk is alongside one patched pedestrian walkway.
We initially thought we’d take we ship’s shuttle, but decide not to stay for it.
We were traveling relatively light (two rollaway carry-ons and one wider rollaway suitcase) so the 10-minute walk was easily doable.
Step 2) Take the Venice People Mover
At to port exit, you’ll see Venice’s “People Mover.”
It’s a driverless elevated train that shuttles people within the Marittima port stop to the Piazzale Roma up the edge of Venice’s historial center. How To Get To Venezia Cruise Terminal
The Piazzale Roma is a place where buses, taxis and cars arrive or depart. (The People Mover also extends the other way beyond the Marittima station to an Tronchetto parking island.)
The ticket cost for the People Mover is 1.5 Euros p.p., payable at a handful regarding auto ticket dispensers. You ability pay with cash or credit card.
You may have to wait in line, depend on if there’s a crush are join all want in buy Public Mover cards.

Choose either that elevator or to escalator to take you up to the elevated educate tracks.
We only missed one People Mover train and our wait time be around 10 meeting for the next. The driving itself to Piazzale Gypsy only took around 5 video. If you're wondering how toward go from any cruise port into Venice, Italy, train station, airport or hotels, here's what you need to get.
Alternate to the People Mover
If you request, you can walk the stretch from the cruise port exit to Piazzale Roma (about 20 minutes). We did thereto when walking into Venice (without luggage) who day back disembarking.
But, with luggage, you’ll save nach and energy using the People Mover.
Step 3) Cross the glass bridge since Piazzale Roma
From this Piazzale Roma, you must walk across Venice’s infamous Composition Bridge – one of this loads bridges in Venice .
Built in 2008, that glass-and-steel bridge cut the Grand Canal, connecting which Piazzale Roma with the Santa Lucia train station.
Crossing the bridge is unfortunately not an easy feat if you’re dragging a suitcase (or two).
There’s no plain jump up or down the bridge.
Use, i have into haul your wheely suitcase, bumpety-bump, going at least 50 low-rise steps, and later repeat the bumpety-bump down another 50 steps. The glass steps are a little slippery; some are cracked.
Many tourists take slipped other shut on the bridge since it opened. The City of Venice last fined the bridge’s Spanish architect $86,000 USD for “macroscopic negligence” for designing a bridge ensure isn’t tourist friendly.
Tip: The center strip of the bridge has specify steps, and these are less disorienting than the glass steps.
Best option for crossing which Constitution Cross?
Luggage carriers hang around Piazzale Roma. Tariffs don’t appear to be regulated, both we understand they can vary very.
We were quoted 15 Euros by one bouncer to take our three pieces out piece across the bridge.
In our view, crossing of jumper the the most difficult part from getting to and Santa Lucia train station. Depending on how schwer your suitcase is – and how game your feel – you may want to negotiate with a porter go help take your luggage beyond the bridge. The port looks to be about four kms away which bar station, if I'm looking at the right dot in a map, and a taxi should take regarding 12 record. I ...
Methods long does a take to got to the train station?
We leaving our kreuzfahrt at 7:45 am and arrived at the Santa St train station just over an hour later – walking from the ship durch the port, then using the People Mover, and walking the last leg over the glass-step bridge to the station.
We incoming in plenty of laufzeit to have a 15-minute coffee at the station before boarding our train.
We were one of the first guests off our ship and it wasn’t very empty around 8:00 am per the People Mover. If it’s employed, it will obviously take yours more than an hour to reach the train station.
Bottom line?
Budget at least 75 minutes to get free your ship to the Venezia Santa Lucia train station. (This builds is extra time that may will needed with which People Moving is busy.) THE PINNACLE 10 Venice Port Transfers and Shuttles (w/Prices)
Be sure the arrive at the station some 20 minutes before your train departs.
Taxi from Venice-based cruise port in Mestre pull station
Most long-distance trains up Florence, Rome, and other popular destinations which depart from the Santa Luci train station, Venice, also stop at the Mestre train station. Our train to Bari did.

Cruising the World on Ships and Trains
How to Navigate Between Venice Italy Cruise Ports, Train Station and More
By: Sherry Laskin · Updated On: September 24, 2022
Gondolas and canals. Romance and intrigue. Mystery and magic, Venice, Italy has it all. But there’s one major change for passengers that hope to cruise past Piazza San Marco.
As of July 2021, cruise ships weighing over 25,000 tons are now banned from using the Venice Cruise Port. This means that the view of sailing past iconic St Mark’s Square, and into the narrow Giudecca Canal is over.
With cruise ships will no longer able to dock in the city-center port, they’ll be rerouted to the mainland and to the industrial port of Marghera.
This creates an entirely new set of directions to get to the Venice city-center, airport, train station and the other embarkation ports.
There’s not much more to say about this iconic view in Venice. Simply amazing.
How to Go from Porto Marghera Cruise Port to Venice
Porto Marghera is where almost all cruise ships will have to dock when visiting Venice. The new law forbids cruise ships from sailing past Piazza San Marco to or from the city cruise port. This could cause your few days in Venice before or after your cruise to be a little more complicated.
The good news is that there’s a train at Porto Marghera that will whisk you into the heart of Venice at Santa Lucia train station, in just seven minutes. Another reason to make sure that you pack light so you can manage to haul your suitcases.
Once you arrive at Santa Lucia Station, this is when you need to know how to get around a city that doesn’t have any street transportation.
Most people fly directly to Venice for either their vacation or to board a cruise ship. Others may opt for a river cruise Or like me, spend a night or two in Paris and then take an overnight train from Paris to Venice .
It’s a memorable sight as your train slowly crosses the Venice Lagoon and the Venetian skyline appears on the horizon as you enter heart of this island-city.
Getting Between Porto Marghera, Santa Lucia Station, Airport and Hotels
Although the new big ship cruise port in Marghera isn’t very pretty or scenic, it is easier to get into Venice with only taking one train and you’re there.
But first, there are some basics to learn. Knowing the difference between a vaporetto or private water taxi is crucial. Riding in a private water taxi, in my opinion, something everyone should try at least once. It’s expensive as a solo traveler, but I would do it again without hesitation.
Difference Between a Vaporetto and Water Taxi
This used to confuse me and I’ll clarify for you. Think of a vaporetto as a public bus on the water. There are two companies that operate vaporetti (plural for vaporetto); ACTV and Alilaguna.
ACTV is best for traveling around Venice and the islands. Alilaguna, as far as cruise passengers are concerned, is mainly for connecting between the airport and cruise port. Links to both companies are at the bottom of this article.
If you want to avoid crowds and glide through the canals on your own private “yacht” then opt for the more expensive water taxi.
Think of these as land-based taxis back home. This is your best option for early morning flights TO the airport from your hotel. Yes, there is rush hour on the canals.
First view of Venice as you exit the Santa Lucia train station.
To and From Santa Lucia Train Station to the Former Large Ship Cruise Port
If you’re booked on a very small ship or taking a river cruise from Venice, this is still where you’ll board the ship.
Going from Santa Lucia Station may seem daunting but it’s actually easy. You can even walk part of the distance if your luggage isn’t too heavy.
- After you exit the train station, turn right and walk along the Grand Canal for a short distance.
- Cross the Ponte della Costituzione glass and steel bridge to Piazzale Roma.
From Piazzale Roma
There are a few choices to reach the nearby Stazione Marittima (former large ship cruise port). Remember, as of July 2021, ships over 25,000 tons are not permitted to dock here. They are now rerouted to Porto Marghera, an industrial port.
Once again, if you’re on a very small ship or river ship, this is where those ships will dock.
- If your arms are tired from hauling luggage, you can take a taxi for a few euros right to the terminal from Piazzale Roma
- Wait for or hurry to the free shuttle bus which runs about every 15 minutes
- Take a really short tram/train ride on the driverless People Mover. Sort of like the connector trams at airports. You’ll find a ticket machine inside the glass-enclosed ticket kiosk. You’ll quickly reach the Marittima exit (cruise terminal) – it’s the first stop along the way – in only a few minutes.
- If you’re traveling really light and feeling adventurous, you can walk to the cruise terminal from Piazzale Roma. Start walking as if leaving Venice, following the busy causeway that leads over to the mainland. Once you’ve crossed over the water and train tracks, turn left into the terminal. But I really don’t recommend walking over to the port.
Take a Vaporetto Part of the Way
- After exiting Santa Lucia train station, in front of you is the magnificent Grand Canal. You’ll find the ACTV vaporetto floating docks to your left. You want to buy a ticket for either #1 or #2 vaporetto going to Piazzale Roma.
- Be prepared for a 30-40 minute boat ride. #1 is a local water bus and #2 is an express water bus. Both will give you a lovely waterborne introduction to Venice.
- Once you arrive at Piazzale Roma, follow the options above.
Transportation to Your Hotel
Whether you arrive by air or train, the public vaporetti (plural for vaporetto) and private water taxis are waiting to take you to your hotel as soon as you step out of either terminal. Here’s where it gets tricky and a little preparation can go a long way.
Remember, there are only two ways to get around Venice: by foot or by boat.
Most important: pack light. The less luggage you have to haul around, the happier you will be. It’s probably more daunting to arrive into Venice by train than depart. And getting to or from the main cruise port, Stazione Marittima, is an experience worth planning in advance.
If you’re arriving into Porto Maghera, it’s easier to get to the city center, as I mentioned earlier in this article.
At the Stazione Marittima Cruise Terminal via my water taxi. You won’t see these big ships here anymore.
Venice Cruise Port – Stazione Marittima
You can hire a private water taxi (90 € or more) or hop aboard a public vaporetto to travel between Santa Lucia train terminal and either of the two cruise ship ports.
It’s the walk between where your water vaporetto or water taxi docks, at either Venice cruise port – the larger Stazione Marittima cruise terminal or the adjacent smaller San Basilio port, that can be a potential nightmare if you’re not prepared.
San Basilio Cruise Port
If you are lucky and your smaller ship is docked at San Basilio, you are a short walk along a paved path to the San Basilio vaporetto and water taxi station.
It is likely, when docked at San Basilio, that your ship will run a 2-minute shuttle bus ride between the ship and the San Basilio water taxi/vaporetto floating station. This was the case on my recent Viking Star cruise from Barcelona to Venice.
From your hotel or train station to your ship at Stazione Marittima, luggage is usually checked right where either the water taxi or vaporetto lets you off, assuming that cruise ship representatives and luggage trollies are present.
On a cruise a couple of years ago, arriving by private water taxi, I was able to check my biggest suitcase to send to the ship. But because I had a case with my computer, another packed full with camera equipment and yet another small case with makeup/breakables.
I ended up pulling three small but very heavy two-wheeled suitcases for what seemed like miles.
My pre-arranged private water taxi to get to the cruise terminal.
Arriving or Departing From the Airport
You’ll still have to get to or from the airport (mainland) and Venice Island. If arriving, look for signs to the water taxis and vaporettos just outside the arrival area and it’s the same procedure as above at the cruise port.
Take a public vaporetto (water bus) to your hotel or cruise ship if you don’t have much luggage.
Getting to/from Your Hotel in Venice
Many times for new visitors, finding their hotel means walking and pulling luggage on cobblestones, up steps and over bridges and sometimes up several flights of stairs if you’ve chosen a penzione.
INSIDER TIP: choose accommodations near a water bus (vaporetto) stop.
The #1 vaporetto runs between the cruise terminal, the train station and St. Mark’s Square and other stops in-between which may be convenient to your hotel. Note: Your vaporetto may be crowded so be prepared. This is why I love the private water taxis.
Note: Since private water taxis can hold up to six-eight people, you could ask others in the water taxi queue if they’d like to share, provided of course that you are all headed to the same destination.
Entrance to the Hotel Danieli for the private water taxis.
Believe it or not , there are land porters for hire to haul your luggage from point to point. Either phone or ask your hotel concierge for a list of companies.
READ NEXT: My review of the glamourous Hotel Danieli in Venice
They’re expensive but might be worth it. This saved my sanity when I had to change hotels from the Hotel Danieli to the Westin Europa, on totally opposite sides of St. Mark’s Square.
Yes, people carry their luggage up and over bridges to get to their hotels.
Buy Your Vaporetto Pass Online
You can buy your water bus (vaporetto) pass before you leave home. Simply visit the ACTV website where you can view all of the options. This will cost about 7.50 € pp and it makes several passenger stops. This is not the private water taxi service. For that, you look for a private water taxi at the dock or arrange it online or through your concierge. It’s at least 90 € but it’s the entire boat.
Alilaguna operates several lines, noted by their color. But for going from airport to cruise port, they depart every 15 minutes. Click the link for schedules and to purchase online.
Reserve Your Private Water Taxi
Some private water taxis add a mandatory meet and greet at the train station and charge for the service.
But the upside is that you don’t have to pull/push/drag your luggage through the station, down the steps and through the crowds at the waterfront and then determine which water taxi is the one you reserved.
Princess cruise ship on the Grand Canal
Cruise ships on the Venetian Lagoon in Venice are gone. Conservation groups finally won the battle of the behemoths, citing erosion and pollution as the two main reasons.
You can’t blame the Venetians for their drive to preserve this easily flooded and slowly sinking magnificent island.

Hi Karen, Lucky you! I would suggest Santa Lucia train station. If you go through Mestre, it’s on the mainland, so it will add to the time needed to get between San Basilio. San Basilio is closer to Santa Lucia than the major Marittima Cruise Terminal. You have options when you arrive in Venice. Walk directly straight ahead after you exit your train and you’ll be right there at the canal. There may even be a vaporetto to go direct to San Basilio. It can be a bit overwhelming so just take a breath, enjoy the first glimpse of Venice and simply ask the ticket vendor (go down the stairs and you’ll see it)for a ticket to San Basilio. There are ramps if your luggage is cumbersome. The ramps are on your right and hopefully the ramp on your left is open, too. Once you get to San Basilio, you’ll see your ship, and there may even be a shuttle provided by your ship between San Basilio Cruise Terminal and boarding. You’ll do embarkation at the small terminal right there as you exit the water transport. Thank you for reading my website! Happy travels! Sherry

Hi Sherry. We are going to San Basilio Cruise port from the rail station. Which rail station is best to arrive and the least amount of hassle and expense to San Bailio? Thank you!
March 18, 2016 at 11:00 am
Hi Dolores, Simply exit the airport terminal and look for the Water Taxi sign. You’ll need to know at which cruise port your ship is docked…San Basilio or Marittima. The same will apply from the cruise port to Santa Lucia station. If you’re feeling flush, you can pre-arrange a private water taxi. There are links to all of the info in this article. Have a terrific cruise and Happy Travels! Sherry

Hi Charlene, Yes, you can come and go from Santa Lucia to the Airport (VCE) but you have to change trains on the mainland at Mestre station. And yes, you can take either a land taxi, water taxi or bus to and from Piazzale Roma. Or take a water bus (about an hour boat ride) from right outside the airport to Piazza San Marco and walk from there.

Regarding this informatio “From the airport, you can take either a bus or taxi to Piazzale Roma. From there, you can either walk across the modern-looking bridge or take a vaporetto/water taxi to your hotel. If this seems too daunting (too much luggage) you can board a water taxi at the airport (outside of the customs area) to go to your hotel in Venice. It’s strange to think of Venice as an island without roads. You can buy your water taxi tickets here” Can you also go to the airport via taxi or bus from Piazzale roma? I was under the impression you could take a train from the Santa Lucia station to the airport. I guess I was wrong, thank you for your help.
June 15, 2015 at 9:58 am
Hi Charlene, I’m not sure if you meant to take the train from the airport to Venice (the city/island) or the Marittima Cruise Terminal. Assuming that you mean to go from the airport into Venice, no, you cannot take a train directly into Venice from the airport. On an aside note: You could take a land taxi or bus from the airport to Venice Mestre train station. From there, you can board a train that goes across the water into Venice proper. But that’s a lot of work.

How to Get to the Venice Cruise Terminal/Port of Venice
Now that you know where the Venice cruise terminal is, let’s talk about the best way to get there. Your options will vary depending on where you’re coming from, so I’ll try to outline the most common places you might be arriving from on your way to a Venice cruise. Arriving at the Venice Cruise Port from Venice Marco Polo Airport Note: These instructions will get you from the Venice Marco Polo Airport on the mainland to the islands of Venice, but may not get you all the way to the cruise terminal. For instructions on reaching the cruise terminal from the train station or the bus stop, scroll down to those sections below.
- Taking a bus from Marco Polo Airport to the Piazzale Roma is the fastest and cheapest transportation method. The coach-like ATVO Venice Express bus reaches Piazzale Roma from the airport in less than a half-hour, and a one-way ticket is only €3. There’s also a local city bus that takes roughly the same amount of time, and costs €2.50 one-way. The Venice Express buses are more comfortable and allow for stowing bags underneath, so for the extra 50¢ I’d say they’re worth it.
- From the Marco Polo Airport you can take a water bus – called a vaporetto – directly from the airport to the cruise terminal, which might be advisable if you have loads of time before your cruise and you want a more romantic entry to Venice than in a regular bus. It takes much longer – 1.5 hours at times – and since you’re going to be getting on a boat fairly soon anyway, don’t feel bad if you skip the vaporetto and head for the bus with wheels instead. A vaporetto ticket from the airport to the Venice cruise port will cost €13 one-way (less if you book online with VeniceLink ), and you can either take the red line ( linea rossa ) all the way around the islands of Venice to the Tronchetto stop (which is right next to the cruise docks), or take the orange line ( linea arancio ) to the Giuglie stop behind the train station and then walk across a couple bridges to the Piazzale Roma.
- The luxury option for getting to the cruise terminal from the airport is to hire a private water taxi. The trip will still take you an hour or more, and the fare can be in the €100+ range, but if you have a party of 4-6 people to split the cost it’s definitely more reasonable. The VeniceLink site mentioned above will let you book “tickets” for spaces on shared water taxis, which can help cut down on the price.
>> Here’s more information about how to get into Venice from the Venice Airport . Arriving at the Venice Cruise Port from the Piazzale Roma Parking Lot/Bus Stop On the map above showing the cruise terminal area, you’ll see that the Piazzale Roma – where the buses stop and where people park their cars – is not far from the Marittima cruise terminal. If your ship is docked in the Marittima terminal and you don’t mind walking, it takes 10-15 minutes to walk. Otherwise, most of the cruise lines run regularly scheduled free shuttles back and forth from Piazzale Roma to the cruise terminal on certain days of the week. By either the free shuttle or a privately hired taxi the trip is very short, usually only 5 minutes or less. If your cruise is setting off from San Basilio terminal, on the other hand, a walk – while totally possible – is significantly further. San Basilio is reachable via private water taxi from the Piazzale Roma parking lot, or if you’re more adventurous and have more time, you can take a vaporetto around the islands to the Zattere stop and walk to the cruise terminal from there. Arriving at the Venice Cruise Port from the Santa Lucia Train Station The cheapest option for getting to the Venice cruise terminal from the main Venice train station is to walk across the brand new and ultra-modern Grand Canal bridge – the “Constitution Bridge” – that leads to the Piazzale Roma parking lot, and then follow the instructions above. It’s a short walk, and the bridge’s steps are graduated so slightly that you could probably even more or less roll a suitcase over it (although it’d be easier to pick a bag up and carry it). Another option is to take a private water taxi from right in front of the train station directly to the cruise terminal. If money isn’t a concern, this is an easier transport method to stomach – but if you’re traveling in a group (or meet a group of fellow cruise-goers on the train) and can share the water taxi fare among 4-6 people, it’s a pretty reasonable price to pay for the convenience and comfort. You can also catch one of the vaporetti that dock right in front of the train station, just make sure you’re getting on one that will drop you off at Piazzale Roma. From there, you’ll follow the instructions above. Arriving at the Venice Cruise Port from the Mestre Train Station If you’re coming to your Venice cruise from elsewhere in Italy, you might be confused into thinking that the Venezia Mestre station is the train station you want for your cruise. It’s not. The Mestre station is on the mainland – the last stop on the mainland before trains snake across the long bridge to the islands of Venice – and since the cruise terminal is on the islands, Mestre isn’t where you want to be. Here’s hoping you’re reading this in time to book the right train tickets – in which case you want to book tickets through to Venezia Santa Lucia station (the station on the islands), and then follow the instructions above for getting to the cruise terminal from the Santa Lucia train station. If you’ve already got your tickets booked and you don’t feel like booking a separate ticket from Mestre to Santa Lucia, there are buses that connect Mestre’s station to the Piazzale Roma parking lot/bus stop on the islands. It’s about a 15-minute trip and only costs a few euro. The directions for getting to the cruise terminal from Piazzale Roma are listed above.

Venice is a city that is known for its beautiful canals and waterways, which have been an integral part of the city’s history and culture for centuries. The city has two primary cruise terminals: Marittima Cruise Terminal and San Basilio Cruise Terminal. Of these two terminals, the Marittima Cruise Terminal is the larger of the two and is located in the western part of Venice’s cruise port.
The Marittima Cruise Terminal is easily accessible by several modes of transportation, including water taxi, private water taxi, or vaporetti (water bus). Passengers arriving at Marco Polo Airport can also take advantage of private water taxis or a free shuttle bus to reach the terminal. Once at the Marittima Cruise Terminal, passengers will find themselves surrounded by various facilities such as restaurants, shops, and easy access to the canals for exploring Venice.
One of the reasons why Venice has canals is due to its unique geography. The city was built on a group of islands located in a lagoon off Italy’s northeastern coast. Over time, Venetians developed a sophisticated system of canals to navigate between these islands and connect them with other parts of Italy and Europe.
Today, Venice’s canals continue to serve as an essential mode of transportation for both tourists and locals alike. Visitors to Venice can explore the city by taking a gondola ride through its winding waterways or hopping on one of the many vaporetti that crisscross its numerous canals.
In addition to offering convenient access to Venice’s famous canals, the Marittima Cruise Terminal also provides passengers with easy access to some of the city’s most popular attractions. From St. Mark’s Square to Doge’s Palace, there are countless sights within walking distance from this bustling hub.
Schedule and Information for Venice Cruise Port
Cruise companies such as MSC, Costa, and Royal Caribbean offer a wide variety of itineraries that include Venice port as one of their destinations. With its beautiful canals, historic landmarks, and rich culture, it’s no surprise that Venice is a popular choice for many travelers. To help passengers plan their trips accordingly, the port offers various information services.
Information Services
The port provides maps, brochures, and multilingual staff to assist passengers with their inquiries. Passengers can also check the schedule of Venice port cruises on the official website or through their cruise company’s website. The website provides detailed information about each terminal and transportation options available.
Venice port has three terminals: Marittima, San Basilio, and Fusina. Each terminal has different facilities and transportation options. Marittima is the main terminal where most large cruise ships dock. It offers a range of amenities such as restaurants, shops, currency exchange offices, ATMs, luggage storage facilities and more. San Basilio is smaller in size but closer to the city center than Marittima. It’s mainly used by smaller ships that can navigate through the narrow canals easily. Lastly,Fusina is located on the mainland opposite to Venice island; it’s less crowded compared to other terminals but offers limited transportation options.
Arrival Time
It is recommended to arrive at least two hours before departure time to allow enough time for check-in and security procedures. This will ensure a smooth embarkation process without any delays or complications.
Getting to Know the Surrounding Areas of Venice Cruise Port
San basilio vaporetto stop: your gateway to venice city.
The San Basilio vaporetto stop is located just a 10-minute walk from the Venice Cruise Terminal, making it a convenient way to explore the city’s main attractions. The vaporetto is a water bus that runs along the Grand Canal and other waterways in Venice, providing an affordable and unique way to see the sights.
From San Basilio, you can hop on a vaporetto and head towards famous landmarks like St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and the Doge’s Palace. You can also take a leisurely ride through smaller canals to discover hidden gems like quiet neighborhoods, charming bridges, and local shops.
Stazione Marittima: A Perfect Starting Point for Your Italian Adventure
If you’re arriving at the Venice Cruise Terminal by car or train, you’ll likely end up at the Stazione Marittima. This terminal is located at the western end of the promenade and offers easy access to nearby attractions.
From here, you can stroll along the promenade towards Piazzale Roma parking lot and catch a bus or taxi to other parts of Venice or beyond. You can also walk across Ponte della Costituzione bridge towards Santa Lucia train station for connections to major cities throughout Italy and Europe.
Porto Marghera: An Industrial Area Worth Exploring
While most visitors come to Venice for its historic charm, there are some interesting areas outside of the city that are worth exploring too. Porto Marghera is one such area located on the mainland side of the lagoon.
This industrial area was once home to large factories but has since been transformed into an eco-industrial park with green spaces and sustainable businesses. If you’re interested in learning about environmental sustainability or want to see a different side of Venice, consider taking a land taxi from the cruise terminal (approximately 15 minutes) to explore Porto Marghera.
Parking at Venice Cruise Terminal: Hassle-Free and Secure
If you’re arriving at the Venice Cruise Terminal by car, you’ll be pleased to know that there is ample parking available. The terminal offers both covered and open-air parking lots for your convenience.
The covered parking lot is located just a few steps from the terminal entrance and provides protection from the elements. The open-air lot is located slightly further away but offers more space for larger vehicles like RVs or buses.
Santa Lucia Train Station: Your Gateway to Italy and Beyond
If you’re planning on exploring other parts of Italy or Europe after your cruise, the Santa Lucia train station is a great starting point. This station is just a 10-minute cab ride from the Venice Cruise Terminal and provides connections to major cities like Florence, Rome, Milan, and beyond.
Whether you’re traveling solo or with a group, taking the train is an easy and affordable way to see more of this beautiful country. Just be sure to book your tickets in advance to secure the best prices!
Tips for Navigating Venice Cruise Port with Ease
Use the shuttle service provided by the venice cruise terminal for a hassle-free transfer to and from your ship.
One of the easiest ways to navigate the Venice Cruise Terminal is by taking advantage of the shuttle service provided by the terminal. This service offers a hassle-free transfer from your ship to the terminal, and vice versa. The shuttle is available for all passengers, and it runs on a regular schedule throughout the day.
To use this service, simply follow the signs at the port that direct you to the shuttle pickup location. Once there, look for staff members who can assist you in boarding the shuttle. They will be wearing uniforms and will be easily identifiable.
The shuttle ride is typically short, taking only a few minutes to get from your ship to the terminal. It’s also free of charge, so you don’t have to worry about any additional expenses.
Consider Taking a Taxi if You Have A Lot of Luggage or Prefer A More Direct Route to The Port
If you have a lot of luggage or prefer a more direct route to the port, consider taking a taxi instead of using the shuttle service provided by Venice Cruise Terminal. Taxis are readily available at various locations throughout Venice, including Marco Polo Airport and Piazzale Roma.
Taxis offer door-to-door service and can drop you off right in front of your ship at Venice Cruise Terminal. They are also ideal if you’re traveling with young children or elderly passengers who may find it difficult to walk long distances.
When taking a taxi, make sure that it is licensed and authorized by Venice’s municipal government. Licensed taxis are required to display their license number on both sides of their vehicle as well as inside their car.
Follow The Instructions Given By The Terminal Staff To Ensure A Smooth Check-In Process And Avoid Any Delays
To ensure a smooth check-in process and avoid any delays when navigating Venice Cruise Terminal, it’s important that you follow all instructions given by the terminal staff. These instructions may include where to go, what documents to have ready, and how to proceed through security.
Make sure that you have all necessary travel documents with you, including your passport and boarding pass. You should also have any necessary visas or other documentation required for your specific itinerary.
When going through security, be prepared to remove any metal objects from your pockets and place them in a bin for screening. You may also need to remove your shoes and belt before proceeding through the metal detector.
Arrive Early To Avoid Long Lines And Give Yourself Plenty of Time To Navigate The Terminal And Board Your Ship
To avoid long lines and give yourself plenty of time to navigate Venice Cruise Terminal, it’s recommended that you arrive early on the day of departure. This will allow you ample time to check-in, go through security, and board your ship without feeling rushed or stressed.
Plan on arriving at least two hours before your scheduled departure time. This will give you enough time to get settled in and explore the terminal before boarding begins.
If you’re traveling during peak season or holidays, consider arriving even earlier than two hours to account for larger crowds and potential delays. Remember that it’s always better to be early than late when it comes to cruising!
Best Time to Visit Venice Cruise Port
High tides are a significant concern for visitors to the Venice cruise port. The city is built on a series of islands, and when the tide rises, it can cause flooding in low-lying areas, including the cruise terminal. This can make it difficult for passengers to access their ships and navigate around the city.
Low Tide Season: May to September
The best time to visit the Venice cruise terminal is during the low tide season, which runs from May to September. During this period, water levels are typically lower, and there is less risk of flooding. Visitors will find it easier to move around the city and access the cruise terminal without any issues.
In addition to lower water levels, visiting during this season also means better weather conditions. The summer months offer warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities like sightseeing and exploring.
High Tide Season: October to April
During high tide season, which runs from October to April, visitors may encounter more challenges when trying to access the Venice cruise terminal. Water levels can rise significantly during this period due to storms and other weather events. As a result, some areas of the city may become flooded or impassable.
November and December are particularly prone to high tides and flooding in Venice. Visitors should check weather forecasts before planning their trip during these months.
If you do decide to visit during high tide season, be prepared for potential delays or cancellations due to flooding. Wear waterproof shoes or boots as you navigate through flooded streets.
Transportation Options
When planning your trip to Venice’s cruise port area, consider transportation options that will help you avoid any potential issues caused by high tides. The closest airport is Marco Polo Airport (VCE), which is about 10 km away from the port area.
From VCE airport:
- Taxi: A taxi ride from VCE airport takes approximately 20-30 minutes and costs around €40-€50.
- Bus: ACTV bus line 5 connects the airport to Piazzale Roma, which is the last stop for vehicles in Venice. The journey takes about 20 minutes and costs approximately €8 per person.
From Venice Train Station:
The train station is located on the mainland side of Venice, and you can reach it by taking a water taxi or vaporetto (water bus) from the port area.
Trieste Cruise Port:
Trieste cruise port is located about 150 km away from Venice’s Marco Polo Airport. You can take a taxi or shuttle to reach Trieste cruise port from VCE airport.
Exploring Venice Before or After Your Cruise
Explore venice on foot.
Walking around Venice is one of the best ways to explore this beautiful city. You’ll find yourself wandering down narrow streets and alleys that are lined with colorful buildings, many of which have been standing for centuries. As you walk, be sure to look up at the buildings’ facades – they’re often decorated with intricate stone carvings and other details.
Some of the must-see sights include St Mark’s Square, which is home to St Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace; Rialto Bridge, one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks; and Campo Santo Stefano, a picturesque square that’s surrounded by cafes and shops.
Plan Your Day Carefully
If your liner only docks in Venice for a few hours, it’s essential to plan your day carefully so you can make the most of your time there. If you have a morning arrival, consider taking a trip out to one of the nearby islands for a peaceful start to your day before returning to explore Venice itself.
You can also book a guided tour of the city, which will help you see all the major sights in a short amount of time. Alternatively, if you’re more interested in exploring on your own, be sure to pick up a map and plan your route carefully so you don’t waste any time getting lost.
Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, and exploring it before or after your cruise is an experience you won’t forget. Whether you choose to take a scenic vaporetto ride, explore on foot, or book a guided tour, there’s plenty to see and do here. Just be sure to plan your day carefully so you can make the most of your time – even if it’s only a few hours.
Must-See Attractions Near Venice Cruise Port
Explore the stunning venetian lagoon.
The Venetian Lagoon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers stunning views of Venice’s islands and canals. The lagoon is an essential part of Venice’s history and culture, and it provides a unique perspective on the city. Visitors can take a boat tour to explore the lagoon, which includes stops at various islands such as Murano, Burano, and Torcello.
Murano is famous for its glassmaking industry, while Burano boasts colorful houses and lace-making traditions. Torcello is home to some of Venice’s oldest buildings, including the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Exploring these islands gives visitors a chance to experience different aspects of Venetian life while taking in breathtaking views.
Cruise Down the Iconic Grand Canal
The Grand Canal is Venice’s main waterway and one of its most iconic landmarks. It stretches for 2.4 miles (3.8 km) from the entrance near Piazzale Roma to St. Mark’s Square. Along the way, visitors can admire historic palaces and buildings that line its banks.
One popular way to experience the Grand Canal is by taking a vaporetto (water bus) ride along its length. This allows visitors to see many of Venice’s most famous sights from the water, including Rialto Bridge, Ca’ d’Oro Palace, and Accademia Bridge.
Take a Stroll Along Giudecca Canal
For those seeking a quieter atmosphere than the bustling Grand Canal offers, Giudecca Canal provides an excellent alternative. This canal runs parallel to the main waterway but sees far fewer boats passing through it.
Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along Giudecca Canal’s banks or enjoy a meal at one of several restaurants located nearby. The canal also offers fantastic views of some of Venice’s most beautiful churches and palaces.
Visit Famous Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco, also known as St. Mark’s Square, is one of Venice’s most famous landmarks and a must-visit destination for any visitor to the city. The square is home to several stunning buildings, including the Basilica di San Marco and the Doge’s Palace.
The basilica features intricate mosaics and beautiful architecture that reflects Venice’s Byzantine heritage. The Doge’s Palace served as the seat of government during Venice’s Republic era and now houses several museums.
Alternatively, visitors can head to Piazzale Roma for a more modern side of Venice with its shops, restaurants, and transportation hub. Nearby Hotel Danieli offers luxurious accommodations for those seeking a more upscale experience.

Making the Most Out of Your Venice Cruise Port Experience
To truly make the most out of your Venice Cruise Port experience, it’s important to plan ahead and take advantage of all that this beautiful city has to offer. From exploring the surrounding areas of the cruise terminal to indulging in delicious local cuisine, there are endless ways to enhance your trip.
One of the best ways to fully appreciate Venice is by taking a stroll through its charming streets and canals. Whether you have a few hours or a few days before or after your cruise, be sure to explore popular attractions such as St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. For those looking for a more off-the-beaten-path adventure, head over to the colorful island of Burano or take a gondola ride through the quieter canals.
There are plenty of delicious choices for every taste bud. Sample traditional Venetian dishes such as sarde in saor (sweet and sour sardines) or fegato alla veneziana (Venetian-style liver) at local restaurants like Osteria al Bacareto. For something sweet, indulge in some gelato from Gelateria Nico or try some cicchetti (small bites) paired with wine at one of the many bacari (wine bars) throughout the city.
Navigating Venice Cruise Terminal can also be made easier with a bit of preparation beforehand. Familiarize yourself with the layout and schedule ahead of time so you can avoid any unnecessary stress on embarkation day. Arrive early if possible and consider hiring a porter service to help with luggage transportation.
Lastly, timing is everything visiting during shoulder season (April-May or September-October) can provide a more enjoyable experience without sacrificing good weather.

venice port to train station
By APW , August 5, 2023 in Italy Ports
Recommended Posts
We are arriving on Windsurf by Windstar to a port in Venice, cruise line cannot tell me exactly where we will be. I want to get to the train station, no idea how far, if I need transportation or can walk. Any ideas? (trying to get to Padua for a day visit)

Windstar is small enough to dock in Marittima. You can walk to the People mover which takes you to Piazzale Roma. Walk across it to the train station. Pack light. EM

I would check to see if your ship will be docked in Marittima (the large Venice port formerly used by cruise ships) or San Basilio (a smaller port formerly used for small ships such as Windstar ships and up to about 500 passengers).
San Basilio is more convenient to sightseeing in Venice, but Marittima is more convenient for the train station, as detailed above.
I remember checking AIS for Venice a few weeks ago and a Windstar ship was at Marittima. Someone on the Windstar board here reported that they docked in Marittima in May. EM

Venice Guide and Boat
- Venice Cruise Port Transfers
Book private Venice Cruise Port Transfers from and to Venice cruise terminal.
Our Venice Cruise port transfers are the best services to easily and comfortably reach your hotel in Venice, or Venice International Airport, and any other destination.
The Port of Venice is located in the most western part of Venice. The access to the port is restricted to cruise passengers, and local operators registered in the Port Authorities operators’ list.
When you book Venice Cruise Port transfers, your assistant will meet you upon disembarkation at the terminal where your ship will handle all disembarkation procedures. Once the check-out is completed, you will be taken to the dock and board your water taxi and reach your hotel in Venice (or any other destination). You will find trolleys near the baggage claim area, and can be taken up to the water taxi dock. If you have a lot of luggage and would like porters to help you, please ask for the optional porter service upon booking, or directly to your assistant the day of the transfer.
We can’t say how long disembarkation procedure takes. Your boat will be therefore called by the assistant once she/he will meet you, therefore you might have to wait few minutes before the boat arrives. If you don’t want to wait and would like your boat to be ready for you at a precise time, please ask for our special no waiting service, which includes a waiting halt fee.
PLEASE NOTICE: Some hotels in Venice don’t have a jetty along a canal accessible to water taxi. Other hotels aren’t located by a canal, so they can’t be reached directly by boat. If this the case of your hotel, your driver will drop you off at the closest possible landing stage. The assistant will walk you to the hotel and, if needed, the assistant will arrange porter service.

Trieste Cruise Port – the essential guide
If you’ve eagerly anticipated setting sail from Venice on your dream Mediterranean or Greek Isles cruise, prepare for an unexpected delight.
Venice, in 2021, had to bid adieu to many of the larger cruise ships due to rising water levels, creating a unique opportunity for the picturesque Trieste Cruise Port to steal the spotlight.
This charming Italian port, nestled gracefully along the scenic Adriatic coastline, now beckons you with open arms, offering itself as the gateway to your unforgettable voyage.
Read on to discover all the essentials for a smooth cruise experience, setting sail from Trieste Cruise Port.
Quick navigation
Trieste Cruise port
So where exactly is Trieste cruise port, and how easy is it to spend time in Venice before or after a cruise from Trieste?
First, you must check which ports to head to with your cruise line when booking a cruise from Venice. If it’s from Trieste or Ravenna , you need to consider this before you book your flight and make transfer arrangements.
Trieste is located 160 km northeast of Venice. It has the Adriatic Sea to the west and borders Slovenia to the east. It’s about a two-hour transfer either by road or rail from Venice.
If you plan to spend a few days in Venice before your cruise, we recommend saving a night or two to stay in Trieste. It’s a great city, with plenty to see and do.
The good news is that getting to Trieste from Venice is not tricky, and you have choices. Allow for the travel time and budget for the extra cost. We discuss all your transport options further below in this article.
Given that most cruise ships arrive at Trieste’s Stazione Marittima cruise port (the more central cruise port), the information we give here is for Stazione Marittima port. The historical cruise passenger terminal building is close to the city’s largest square, Piazza Unità d’Italia.
What are the closest airports to Trieste cruise port?
- Trieste Airport TRS (40 km)
- Venice Marco Polo Airport VCE (150 km)
If you prefer to skip Venice, search for flights to Trieste’s airport. To get from the airport, book an airport transfer to your hotel before you leave home. Alternatively, below you have the following public transport options.
Trieste Airport (TRS) to central Trieste
Trieste airport is around 40 km from central Trieste. Here are the transport options available to get you to the city center:
Bus : APT Gorizia is the local bus company operating bus number 51 from the airport. You can buy a one-way bus ticket for about 5 euros.
Taxi : There are taxis at the airport as you exit the arrivals area. The journey time is an estimated 30 minutes for around 50 euros. Expect to pay more if you are traveling in the evenings.
Train : Our favorite way to travel is by train. A direct train from Trieste airport to the central train station runs 2 or 3 times every hour. It’s a quick 29-minute journey costing around 5 euros per person.
Check out Omio’s website to easily search and compare train ticket prices to find your journey . Tickets can also be booked through Trenitalia or Italotreno. However, Omio offers price comparisons for your trip and a more straightforward booking process.
Venice Marco Polo (VCE) Airport to central Trieste
Venice airport is around 150 km from central Trieste.
If you arrive on an international flight to Venice Marco Polo Airport and want to transfer directly to Trieste, here are your best options:
Private Transfer: a private transfer is the easiest but most expensive option. Book through a trusted supplier such as Viator and have a driver waiting for you as you exit the arrivals lounge. The journey time is around 2 hours and can cost about 200 euros. This becomes more affordable if you have four or more guests and can share the cost for a hassle-free way of getting there.
Train: there is no train station at Venice Marco Polo airport. Take a taxi about 10 km from the airport to Venice’s central train station, Mestre. From there take a train direct to Trieste center. The journey takes 2 hours. You can book train tickets in Italy online before you leave home or at the train station.
How to travel between Venice island and Trieste
If you have chosen to explore Venice for a few days before or after your cruise and are staying on Venice Island, the train is a great way to get to or from Trieste. Purchase tickets to travel from Venezia S. Lucia train station to Trieste Centrale (or vice versa).
Choose the quickest journey where you do not need to change trains.
Trenitalia and Italo Treno are the leading train operators in Italy. They have high-speed Frecce trains that connect you to major cities and numerous regional trains.
You can book train tickets before you leave home, about three months after your travel date.
Alternatively, you can purchase train tickets directly at the train station. The cost of a single journey between Venice island and Trieste for an adult is around 15 euros per person.
Taxes are readily available to get to the port or your hotel from Trieste train station. Prices do vary, especially in the high season. Check with the taxi driver before you climb in. The journey time is about 20 to 30 minutes. The price will increase if it’s a national holiday or an evening journey.
Local buses also run from the train station to central Trieste and the cruise port.
Where to stay in Trieste
We recommend at least one hotel night in Trieste before your cruise starts – it’s a great city to explore. Here are our top 4 hotel recommendations for your stay in Trieste:
1. Double Tree by Hilton Trieste
The Double Tree by Hilton Hotel is centrally located about a 10-minute walk from the cruise port. The building is beautiful and is surrounded by a good selection of cafes and restaurants. If you are a Hilton Honors member (it’s free of charge to join their loyalty program), expect extra perks when you check in. We appreciated the chilled bottled water and fresh cookies.
2. Savoia Excelsior Palace
This is an excellent hotel, architecturally stunning, right next to the cruise port near Piazza Unità d’Italia. Enjoy good service and friendly staff – everything you’d expect for a 4-star plus experience. Ask for a balcony room directly overlooking the pier for a beautiful view. And to top it all, their lounge has an excellent cocktail menu.
3. Grand Hotel Duchi d’Aosta
This small, intimate boutique hotel has excellent facilities and a restaurant, Harry’s Piccolo. It’s located right on Piazza Unità d’Italia.
A popular feature includes a heated indoor pool in a city center location, and the hotel enjoys an excellent rating at Booking.com .
4. Hotel Continentale
The Hotel Continental is centrally located just a 10-minute walk from the central train station in Trieste and 15 minutes from the cruise port. Some rooms are a little dated, but overall, it is a good 4-star experience.
5. Hotel Solun
Hotel Solun is a great 4-star choice! The hotel is only 10 years old and has spacious, light, modern rooms, an excellent bar, and a nice restaurant. There are just 34 rooms and apartments, so book early. On our cruise embarkation day, we took a taxi from the hotel to the port for just 10 euros.
Splendid Trieste, Italy – a walking tour
Trieste, located in Italy’s Friuli Venezia Giulia region, is the region’s historical capital. The architecture, cuisine, and languages reflect its multicultural diversity, a mixture of Mediterranean and central European heritage.
A great starting point for getting to know the city is Piazza Unità d’Italia (Unity of Italy Square). This is the main square in Trieste. Once home to the old marina, it faces the sea and is the city’s commercial hub, with many beautiful government buildings lining three sides of the square.
There is a tourist information office right in the square. The friendly staff will provide information and paper maps of the city if you like, so visit them before you start your day.
From Piazza Unità d’Italia, head towards Piazza della Borsa. This square is an excellent place to shop or shop for coffee. Enjoy walking and exploring the area until you reach Canale Grande. This 2 km long waterway is a lively area of shops and restaurants; it’s also an excellent place to return to for an evening restaurant as the whole area is beautifully lit at night.
Just a 20-minute walk southwards of the canal is the Roman Theatre of Trieste on Via del Teatro Romano. A beautifully preserved Roman theater, it was built at the base of a sloping hill called San Giusto. Many of the archaeological finds discovered when the site was excavated in 1938 can be viewed in the museum at the Castle of San Giusto , located a short walk away.
When you reach Castello di San Giusto, you will have fantastic panoramic views over Trieste. It’s a bit of a climb but well worth it. End your city walk at the cathedral, Cattedrale di San Giusto Martire.
If you are hungry and looking to try local seafood dishes, we recommend Antica Trattoria Le Barettine, located between the cathedral and Unity of Italy Square. If, however, they are closed for the season, there are many restaurants to choose from in this area.
Favorite day trips from Trieste
Here are our favorite spots just a short distance outside Trieste that are worth visiting during your stay:
Miramare Castle – Castello di Miramare
Crowned by the spectacular 19th-century Miramare Castle located on a rocky spur on the Gulf of Trieste, this grand house once owned by the Habsburg family is a must-see while visiting the city. The castle and surrounding park are open every day except Christmas and New Year. The park is free of charge to enjoy, and the fee of 10 euros per person to enter the castle is well worth it.
Sistiana Bay
Just 20 km north of Trieste is the stunning bay of Sistiana. You could combine a visit here with Miramare Castle as the castle is on its way, about halfway between Trieste and Sistiana. You drive along the beautiful coastal road known as Costiera Triestina . There are plenty of places to stop and take photos, the most picturesque being at Santa Croce Mare and Grignano.
Book an excursion with a trusted supplier such as Viator so that transportation and a guided tour of the bay are included. You will even have time to explore and swim at the beach there. Note that it’s a shingle beach, not sand, edging the inviting turquoise water of the Adriatic Sea.
How to get to Port of Trieste from the historical center
The passenger cruise terminal, Stazione Marittima (Port Station), is located right next to the historical center and is within walking distance from Piazza Unità d’Italia (Unity of Italy Square).
If you are not within walking distance, we recommend asking your hotel concierge to book a taxi for the short ride to the port. Even if your hotel is only a 20-minute walk, remember you will have all your cruise packing and luggage with you, so a taxi is the best choice to avoid the long walk with suitcases.
How to get to Trieste Airport from the Port of Trieste
If your cruise ship arrives at Stazione Marittima cruise port in Trieste and you fly the same day as you disembark your cruise, here are your options for transportation to the airport in Trieste.
Taxi: The most straightforward way but also one of the most costly ways to travel is by taxi. Taxis are available at the port or by calling tel. +39 040 307730.

We are tentatively booked at Forum Bijou in Trieste. How far is that from the port for Norwegian line?
Hello Marge
Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for the delay in replying to you. The latest information we have received from NCL is that they are using terminals Molo Bersaglieri for Pier #29 and Pier #30 OR Trieste Marine Terminal (TMT) – Via della Rampa for pier #57.
Kindly check with NCL which terminal they intend to use for your cruise sailing; the address should be on your cruise tickets.
If you are staying at Forvm Boutique Hotel, on Via Valdirivo, 30, this is about 10 minutes by taxi from the cruise terminal Molo Bersaglieri. This cruise terminal is very central.
To get to Trieste Marine Terminal is a little further; it is south of the city center, but it is still an easy taxi journey of around 15 minutes.
I recommend you ask your hotel to assist with booking a taxi to ensure you get to the cruise port in good time. We wish you a great stay in wonderful Trieste and a super cruise vacation.
Hello Sarah,
We will be departing Trieste on October 27 on the Norwegian Epic. Our cruise docs give the port address as “Trieste Cruise Terminal Via Della Rampa1,Trieste 34123, Italy”. Looking at the address in Google maps, it doesn’t quite make sense. Would this mean we are using Ormeggio 57? What address or location would you recommend we give the taxi driver (we will be staying at the DoubleTree in Trieste)?
Hello Mark,
Thank you for contacting us at CruiseTrail! It is important that you use the address given to you by your cruise line. Some cruise ships use the Trieste Marine Terminal, reached via Via Della Rampa, a few kilometers outside of the city center. I recommend you check with your cruise line if in doubt or if you have questions, and that you give the full address on your ticket to your driver. Be sure to give them the cruise line’s name so they get you as close as possible to the cruise ship.
In May 2024 we will be staying in Venice 2 days and then Trieste 1 day before boarding the NCL Pearl. We are already booked at the Doubletree Hilton in Trieste. Since we’re staying on the island of Venice a train sounds like our best option to travel to Trieste. I plan to buy the train tickets early but am concerned about navigating the train system in italy. Is it easy to find the correct train?
Hi Wanda! Thank you for contacting us at CruiseTrail! We have used the train system many times in Italy without any problems. I recommend the following: 1. Purchase your tickets online (we like Omio) and download them onto your smartphone, so you can show them when onboard the train. 2. Turn up to the train station in good time so you do not feel stressed in finding your train. Find your route on the announcement boards, and it will tell you which track you need. The tracks are numbered. 3. If in doubt, ask an attendant, or go to the information desk, they will be able to help you in English. If you are staying on Venice island, you need to book from the Santa Lucia train station in Venice, to Trieste Centrale train station. Enjoy your cruise vacation, it sounds like you have a good plan! Trieste is lovely.
Our NCL cruise ends in Triste. How difficult is it to disembark and travel to the train station with luggage? We booked a hotel in Venice hoping to have time to tour the city before returning to Rome the next day. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for contacting us at CruiseTrail!
You do not mention which cruise terminal your ship arrives at, do check your cruise ticket however very often it is Stazione Marittima.
To get from Stazione Marittima cruise port to Trieste Centrale train station takes approximately 15 minutes to walk, about 1.1 km. This does not sound a long way but actually with luggage it can be difficult walk along a busy road. I would certainly opt to take a taxi to the train station which will only take 5 minutes (depending on traffic). There are often plenty of taxis in the port area when cruise ships arrive. You can also call tel. +39 040 307730 (you cannot book a taxi in advance).
Alternatively, take a bus 12-15 mins from Riva del Mandraccio, number 8/24/30 (you can purchase a ticket on board for about 1.40€ single ticket, buses every 10 mins). However, this is a public bus and can get crowded and be problematic with a lot of luggage.
Once you are at the train station, the regional Trenitalia train will take you directly to Venice in around 2 hours.
Book a train ticket to Venice Mestre if your hotel is on the mainland, or to Venice Santa Lucia station if your hotel is on Venice island.
You can search and compare tickets with our travel partner Omio before you leave home if you like. They have a very handy app where you can download and store your tickets on your phone.
I hope this information is of help. Good luck and have a wonderful cruise vacation with NCL!
Best regards Sarah
Hi What’s the best option to get to the city centre from the cruise port. We are on MSC cruise arriving Trieste on 18th October
Hi George, thank you for contacting us at CruiseTrail!
If your MSC Cruise ship is docking at Stazione Marittima, Molo dei Bersaglieri, you are within walking distance (5 mins) of the main square in the city, Unity of Italy Square (Piazza Unità d’Italia).
Depending upon where your hotel is located (if you are staying in Trieste after your cruise) then you may either choose to walk or take a taxi from the port. I hope you enjoy your cruise and the city of Trieste – it’s really lovely and a great place to end a cruise vacation.
We are taking a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line. We were told the ship will leave from Trieste Marina Terminal. The address is Punto Franco Nuovo Molo VIII. We are staying by the Roman Theater in Trieste. How do we get to the port?
Hi Nancy! Thank you for contacting us at CruiseTrail! Trieste Marina Terminal is located south of the center of Trieste, and I recommend you ask your hotel for help in booking a taxi to get you there as it is too far to walk. Be sure to give the name of the cruise line and cruise terminal when you book to ensure the driver takes you to the correct terminal. I hope you have a wonderful cruise from Trieste.
Thanks Sarah, Very helpful information. Looking forward to our cruise from Trieste.
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you have a wonderful cruise vacation.
Hi Sarah, thank you for the article. We will embark our cruise ship in Trieste in the summer of this year with Holland America line. The port address that HAL gives is: “Via Von Bruck, 3 Trieste, TS 34143 Italy”. From the Google map, I see this address is kind of far from the train station. Since we will stay in Venice for a few days before the cruise and would like to take the train to Trieste. Can you tell us what is the best way for us to get to the port from train station? Or is there any other ways to go to Trieste’s HAL port from Venice other than train? Thank you.
Many thanks for contacting us at CruiseTrail, and I do apologize for the delay in replying. I was awaiting more information from Holland American but it seems very vague from them regarding the cruise port they are using in Trieste.
From the information I received over the phone, it seems the Holland American cruise port is a short walk from the center of Ravenna, less than 10 minutes. I would, however, recommend that you check your cruise ticket for the exact address or contact your local cruise representative and have them check the correct port for your particular sailing.
The easiest and most cost-efficient way to get from Venice to Trieste is by train. You can find out all about booking train travel in Italy on our website. There is the option of a private transfer , with, for example, Viator, but this is the most expensive way to travel unless you are a small group and can share the cost.
To get from the train station to the cruise port, there are local buses from the train station, and also taxis. The journey time from the train station to the center is about 10-15 minutes. We usually recommend staying at least one night in Trieste prior to embarkation day to ensure that you arrive at your cruise ship in good time.
We hope you have a wonderful cruise vacation. Please check your cruise port address on your cruise ticket or with your HAL representative before you travel to ensure you arrive at the correct embarkation port.
We are cruising into Trieste later this year. We want to go to Venice for a couple of days. Is there a web site that would give me a phone number so someone can help me book train tickets to Venice?
Thank you for contacting us at CruiseTrail. How wonderful you are taking the time to visit Venice during your cruise vacation!
If you are not using a travel agent to help you with your booking, I recommend that you book directly with Omio, who offer train tickets with the fast train (Frecciarossa) and regional trains. You will most likely need to change in Bologna for your journey between Trieste and Venice. Omio also has an online help center where you can email them your questions. The Omio website is available in English, and you can pay in your local currency. It is very user-friendly. I recommend that you first create an account with them (free of charge), and you will have access to the information you need about managing your booking and also contact with their help center. When you have made a booking, you can download your tickets to the Omio app on your smartphone (if you like) and have them all in one place and easily accessible when you travel. We partner with Omio, and you can choose to book your train tickets here .
Good luck with your booking; we hope you enjoy Venice!
NCL has a homeport in Trieste now. On the Gem we embark in Trieste. The next day our stop is Venice (from 6:30a to 11p). I cannot locate information on how we get into Venice on May 23, 2023. If it’s a tender, where does it drop you off? I tried NCL without success. Their answer was Port of Venice and it’s a tender port. Does that mean we take a 2 hr. city operated tender to Venice from Trieste? I need details for a tour @ 9:30a meeting near St. Mark’s. As an organized traveler who pre-books as much as possible from home, I find no detailed information. Do I need a day pass or water taxi – I’m not able to determine based on what information is available on groups on FB, NCL or Cruise Critic.
Hello, and thank you for contacting us!
If your ship visits the Port of Venice, it will most likely anchor off-shore and use tender boats to get you into Venice. I have found this pdf from the NCL website which has more information about the port. I recommend you contact NCL again and ask them if this is the port you arrive at on the tender boat.
Once you are at the Port of Venice, you have several options to get to St. Mark’s Square.
NCL may offer a water bus that you can book in advance to get you there, this may be rather expensive, but it will get you there relatively quickly. You must be prepared for queues in Venice, especially when cruise ships visit and thousands of passengers are disembarking around the same time. Ask NCL if they offer water bus transportation and the price, and if you can be off the ship in the earliest group.
You can walk; this will take a good hour, I would guess, bearing in mind the crowds and finding your way. Although the walk is often delightful, it will take time. Hop on the People Mover (1 EURO each payable at the ticket machines with cash or a credit card) from the port to get you to Piazzale Roma, and you walk from there.
Alternatively, you can ride a water taxi from one of the first stops on the Grand Canal to St. Mark’s Square. It will be quicker than walking.
Perhaps you may consider booking a private transfer from the Port of Venice to St. Mark’s Square to get you there even quicker. We trust Viator as a travel partner for transfers in Venice, and you can look closer at the prices they offer here , although this may be the most expensive option for you.
We hope this information is of help to you. We wish you a fantastic day on Venice Island.
Hello Sarah We are flying into Venice Marco Polo Airport looking for any hotel, near Venice Maestre Central Station (MCS), that can provide a shuttle bus to pick us up at the airport. After staying for 3 days, we will check into Holland American Line Cruise ship at Trieste Marine Cruise Terminal. We will take ±2 hours train ride from Venice MCS to Trieste Central Train Station, and stay two nights in Trieste Town. If I take Local Bus #30 from Trieste City Center to Trieste Marine Terminal. There is no Inside Port Transportation from Passeggio Sant’ Andrea (GdF) at the port entry Gate to the Holland American Line Cruise Ship (Except for Walking that may be restricted). As you suggested we will take a taxi instead from our hotel in Trieste to HAL Cruise Port Terminal.
Hi George! It sounds like you have a good plan for your cruise vacation! If you are still searching for a hotel in Venice Maestre, you may like to look at Ambasciatori Hotel Mestre Venice. They offer an airport shuttle bus transfer. It is the same complex as Delfino Mestre. Located very close to the train station, next door to a supermarket, and the bus stop is outside the hotel to get you into Venice island. It is a 3-star option if this suits you. I recommend you read the reviews then contact the hotel regarding an airport shuttle transfer. If you like, you can start your hotel search on our hotel booking resource page . If you decide to look at hotel accommodation on Venice island instead, you can travel by train from Santa Lucia train station (located on the Grand Canal, Venice island) to Trieste. Good luck! I wish you a fantastic trip.
What is the best way to get to Friuili Venezia Guilia airport from the Trieste Cruise terminal? Is the bus station in walking distance (considering bag drag, etc.)
Hi Melissa! Thank you for contacting us!
You have a few options for transport from Trieste cruise terminal to Trieste Airport. If you cruise ship arrives at Statzione Marittima cruise port. Here are your options:
1. TAXI: The easiest way but also one of the most costly is a taxi. Taxi are available at the port or by calling tel. +39 040 307730. Note you cannot book a taxi in advance. There is a flat rate from Trieste cruise port to Trieste airport at 60€. It takes about 45/50 mins.
2. BUS: You need to make two separate journeys to reach the airport using the bus.
The distance is 1.1Km, about 15 mins walking or by taxi 5 mins (tel. +39 040 307730). Note you cannot book a taxi in advance. Alternatively take the bus (12-15 mins) from Riva del Mandraccio nr 8/24/30. You can purchase ticket on board 1.40€ single ticket. Buses leave every 10 mins.
b) Trieste Piazza Libertà bus station to Trieste Airport with Bus G51, buses approximately every 30 mins, depends on the time of the day. It takes approx 55mins/1hour. You can purchase tickets for G51 bus at the Trieste bus station (payment cash/credit card/debit card) 4.40€ single ticket.
3. TRAIN: You need to make two separate journeys to reach the airport using the train.
a) Stazione Marittima (cruise port) to Trieste Centrale train station: 1.1Km / approx 15 mins walking / 5 mins by taxi tel. +39 040 307730 (you cannot book a taxi in advance) / by bus in 12/15 mins from Riva del Mandraccio nr 8/24/30 (you can purchase ticket on board 1.40€ single ticket, buses every 10mins)
b) Trieste Centrale train station to Trieste Airport: There are trains about every 30/45 mins, depends on the time of the day. Check timetable with Omio which include the Trenitalia trains . It takes 28 minutes, single ticket is around 5€.
I hope this information helps you to decide which alternative suits you best. There are often many taxis at the cruise port when ships dock, but I have included the phone number for you as well. I also recommend that check with the guest services on board to see if they offer a transfer to the airport.
I was wondering the best way to get from Trieste port to Marco Polo airport. I will be traveling on my own. Taxi would be the preferred option but seems expensive. Thank you
Hi, Taxis and private transfers can get pricey when traveling alone or in smaller groups.
Depending on your travel dates, some buses and trains are pretty convenient. You can search for buses and trains with the provider we recommend and use. Click here to read more: Search, compare, and book transport .
I find it convenient to travel by train in Italy. One solution could be to take the train to Venice Maestre central station and then, from there taxi or bus to Marco Polo airport. I wish you a wonderful trip, and let me know if you have further questions.
Thank you for this helpful information! My husband and I are taking our first cruise, and Trieste is our embarkation port. We were unsure how to get from the airport to the ship, but your article spells it all out for us. We hope to have a little bit of extra time to explore what sounds like a beautiful city before we set sail. Thanks again for this awesome info!
How exciting, I am sure you will have a lovely trip. Thank you for your kind words; I am happy I could help. And yes, there is plenty to do and see in Trieste. I hope you enjoy the city before your cruise.
Thank you so much. Very helpful. We will be in Trieste September 2024. Brenda Brisbane Australia
Thank you for your kind words. Have a great time in Trieste, there is a lot to see and enjoy.

Of the solutions offered, the bus would be easiest, then the train (from Chioggia station)
Looking at Google map, the station (Stazione di Chioggia) to the port would be about 8 minutes by taxi
We have been given the same news but in reverse. Our trip commences at Chioggia. Have you tried the rome2rio website. ? I find it very useful for planning . All the best and “HappyTrails”
Rome2rio is useful for planning, but please take its results with a grain of salt, many times it has been proven to be inaccurate!
In any case, the thread I referred to in #1 gave some useful information already
There is a train station in Chioggia, but connections to Venice are inconvenient.
I we are doing the same in March, appreciate if you hear from someone about this transfer thanks Marie
#8 the nearest stop to the dock is "San Giacomo" in Chioggia (about 800 meters).

You'll find the ACTV vaporetto floating docks to your left. You want to buy a ticket for either #1 or #2 vaporetto going to Piazzale Roma. Be prepared for a 30-40 minute boat ride. #1 is a local water bus and #2 is an express water bus. Both will give you a lovely waterborne introduction to Venice.
Step 2) Take the Venice People Mover. At the port exit, you'll see Venice's "People Mover.". It's a driverless elevated train that shuttles people between the Marittima port station to the Piazzale Roma on the edge of Venice's historic center. The Piazzale Roma is a square where buses, taxis and cars arrive or depart.
Unseren sail-in took more than 90 minutes with the time are entered the lagoon to the zeitraum we docked at the main Venice cruise terminal, the Stazione Marittima. It was one of the most magnificent port arrivals we've experienced - cruising past colorful historic places and St. Mark's Square, cars bobbing in forefront, on a sunny ...
Depending on your ship's location, your cruise line may use Marittima as a check-in and drop-off point with a shuttle bus between Marittima and the pier. If you're catching a plane on your day of arrival, allow plenty of time to get off the ship, pick up your luggage, and get to the airport. (We'd suggest at least four hours, and preferably ...
With cruise ships will no longer able to dock in the city-center port, they'll be rerouted to the mainland and to the industrial port of Marghera. This creates an entirely new set of directions to get to the Venice city-center, airport, train station and the other embarkation ports.
Location of the Venice Cruise Terminal/Port of Venice. As mentioned, the cruise terminal in Venice is near the city's only parking lot, which is Piazzale Roma. Piazzale Roma is just across the Grand Canal from the Venezia Santa Lucia train station - but it's the opposite direction most people go.
2. Re: From Venice cruise terminal to train station. From cruise port to train station is just about the only trip not on water in Venice. As mentioned earlier, if your ship has a shuttle to Piazzelle Roma, you can take that, or you can take a conventional taxi from port to train station. 3.
From Venice Train Station: The train station is located on the mainland side of Venice, and you can reach it by taking a water taxi or vaporetto (water bus) from the port area. Trieste Cruise Port: Trieste cruise port is located about 150 km away from Venice's Marco Polo Airport.

(Alternatively, you can take a land taxi between the Piazzale Roma ...
3. Re: Getting from Cruise Port to Train Station. The best way to get to the ship is by Number 1 vaporetto to Piazzale Roma and then the people mover to the ship. The vaporetto takes about 30 minutes, crossing from the vaporetto station to the people mover about 5 minutes and the people mover and walk to ship about 15.
1. Re: Venice Cruise port to Train Station. It would only be an advantage if you decide to fly to Milan rather than taking the train. If your train plans are settled, then you are probably best catching a land taxi to the Mestre rail station, in terms of time, ease, and overall cost. 2.
