Embarkation and disembarkation

Cruise port transfers from Venice Airport

Large ships no longer berth in the Giudecca canal, so the Venice cruise that starts at Marco Polo now ends at Ravenna or Trieste. We drive both, planned around your ship rather than around our schedule.

2 destinations, from €500 per vehicle for up to 7 passengers.

Published prices

The two homeports Venice flights feed

Prices are per vehicle for up to seven passengers with luggage, not per person. Other Adriatic berths are quoted on request.

Sailing from somewhere else?

Ravenna and Trieste are the two homeports Venice flights feed, and we drive them daily. Other Adriatic berths, a pickup at your hotel on disembarkation morning, or a group split across two vehicles: tell us and we quote it.

Why the airport and the ship are far apart

Your cruise says Venice, your ship is two hours away

The big ships left the lagoon

Since 2021 vessels over a certain size cannot pass the Giudecca canal. Lines kept the Venice name on the itinerary and moved the berth, which is why passengers land at Marco Polo and still have a long way to go.

Embarkation has a deadline

Check-in closes hours before departure and the ship does not wait. We plan the pickup from your boarding time backwards, not from your landing time forwards.

Disembarkation is the opposite problem

Everyone leaves at once, the taxi rank empties, and a flight later that day turns tense. A car booked to your terminal is already there.

Terminal, not town

We drop at the terminal building itself, Porto Corsini for Ravenna or the Stazione Marittima for Trieste, not at the nearest square with a suitcase to drag.

Quick answers

Cruise transfers, answered

Why does my Venice cruise leave from Ravenna or Trieste?

Large ships have not been allowed through the Giudecca canal since 2021. Most lines kept Venice as the itinerary name and moved the actual berth to Ravenna or Trieste.

How early should the transfer be booked before sailing?

Work back from the time check-in closes, not from the departure time. Tell us your boarding window and the ship name and we set the pickup so you arrive with room to spare.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle, up to seven passengers with luggage. Cruise luggage is bulky, so give us the number of cases and we send a vehicle with the space rather than guess.

What if my flight is late on embarkation day?

We track it and move the pickup automatically. If the delay puts the sailing itself at risk we tell you as soon as we see it, so you can talk to the line while there is still time.

Can you collect us at the terminal on disembarkation morning?

Yes. The driver waits at the terminal building with your name sign, which on a morning when three thousand people leave at once is the difference between calm and a queue.

Do you serve other Adriatic ports?

Ravenna and Trieste are the two we publish because they are the ones Venice flights feed. Other berths are quoted individually: tell us the port and the date.

Tell us the ship and the flight

We plan the transfer around your boarding time and confirm one all-inclusive price before you travel.
