Venice Cruise Port
Cruises
that begin or end in Venice use either of two terminal areas: The main
Stazione
Marittima basin or the smaller
San Basilio
pier. For more information (including advice on ground transportation
and hotels), see our index of cruise articles

Below are three satellite-photo maps:
-
The top photo gives an
overview of the cruise port, with the Bacino Stazione
Marittima on the left and the San Basilio terminal to the
right, in the entrance to the Giudecca Canal above the caption
"Tronchetto - Lido di Venezia."
-
The second photo is a close-up of the
Marittima basin, with a cruise
ship and several of the basin's terminals visible. The entrance to
the port is near the top of the photo. In the upper right corner,
you can see the Marittima station of the
People Mover
tramway that stops at the port on its way between the
Tronchetto
parking island and the
taxis and airport
buses at Piazzale Roma.
-
The third photo shows the
San Basilio pier, which is used
by small to mid-size cruise ships and hydrofoil ferries to Croatia.
Land taxis arrive and depart behind the long red-roofed terminal
building. Just to the right ofthe pier, across a small footbridge,
you can see the S. Basilio
waterbus stop, where the No. 2 vaporetto provides
frequent service to the Piazza San Marco, the Piazzale Roma, and
other places of interest. An excellent hotel, the
San Sebastiano Garden, is only a short walk from the pier along
the Fondamenta San Sebastian.
