Since large ships no longer sail into the centre of Venice, several cruise lines sell their “Venice” itineraries from Ravenna instead. The ship is comfortable; the surprise for many passengers is that the port is around 150 km from Venice. Here is how to plan the trip.
Where the Ravenna cruise terminal is
Ships dock at the cruise terminal in Porto Corsini, on the coast about 20 minutes from Ravenna’s historic centre. There is little around the terminal itself, so arrange your onward transport before you arrive.
Getting from Ravenna to Venice
The drive follows the coast road through the Po Delta and then joins the motorway around Venice. It takes about 2 hours 30 minutes to Venice Marco Polo Airport, a little less to Piazzale Roma in Venice. Public transport means a bus or taxi into Ravenna and at least one train change, so it is slow with luggage.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Ravenna Port ↔ Venice (airport or city) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard car | 1–3 | €380 |
| Van | up to 7 | €420 |
| Double van | up to 14 | €800 |
One fixed price per vehicle, including tolls, fuel and VAT. The same price applies to Venice Airport, Mestre hotels and Piazzale Roma.
Staying in Venice before or after the cruise?
Cars cannot enter Venice’s historic centre. Transfers stop at Piazzale Roma, the last point reachable by road, and from there you walk, take a vaporetto or a water taxi to your hotel. Our Venice hotel checker shows how far your hotel is from Piazzale Roma.
Flight on disembarkation day?
Allow for disembarkation, 2 h 30 on the road and 2 hours at the airport. Flights from Venice after about 14:00 are the comfortable choice.
