Private Transfer from Venice Hotel to Cruise Terminals – Water Taxi + Private Car

Below are the main currently active Cruise Terminals for large ships departing from the Venice area. Each location has specific characteristics, different distances, and particular logistics, but with our combined Water Taxi + Private Car service, you can reach them easily and stress-free, departing directly from your hotel in the historic center.

Fusina Terminal

Located on the Venetian mainland, Fusina is about 20 minutes from Piazzale Roma. The terminal is modern, well-connected, and equipped for the boarding of large cruise ships. From here, cruises mainly depart towards the Mediterranean and the Adriatic. The port overlooks the southwest lagoon, a few kilometers from Mestre and Marghera.

Chioggia Terminal

The small port city of Chioggia, nicknamed "Little Venice," is located in the southern part of the lagoon. Its cruise terminal operates for medium and large vessels. It is located in the Commercial Port of Val da Rio, easily reachable by car from Venice in about 1h15. The town is charming, full of bridges, canals, and authentic local atmosphere.

Trieste Terminal

The port of Trieste is one of the most important in the Northeast. Cruise ships usually depart from the Molo Bersaglieri, located in the heart of the city center, a short walk from Piazza Unità d’Italia. The car journey from Piazzale Roma to Trieste takes about 2h15. A perfect option for those combining a cruise and a cultural visit.

Ravenna Terminal

The Ravenna Cruise Port is located in Porto Corsini, about 13 km from the city center. Cruises depart from the Porto Corsini Cruise Terminal, well-equipped for international boarding. The distance from Venice is about 2h30 by private car. Ravenna is famous for its Byzantine mosaics and historical charm.
