Return to ship guarantee

Return to ship guarantee: itineraries are planned around your Venice cruise call so you are back with time before all-aboard. Water transport delays are common — protect a larger buffer than you would in a walkable mainland port.

Getting there from the cruise port

Venice cruise ships typically berth at passenger terminals connected to the historic centre by water — vaporetto lines, organised shuttle boats or private transfers depending on berth and operator. Allow generous time for water connections, ticket queues and walking bridges. Confirm meeting points on your voucher and always plan from your ship's all-aboard time.

Tips for cruise passengers

  • Wear comfortable shoes — bridges, paving stones and standing time add up
  • Carry water and a light layer; open water and shade can feel different
