Arriving in Venice by ShipFrom: Arriving in Venice

Occasionally, river boats and other very small ships will moor on the Riva or waterfront promenade next to Venice's public gardens above the Piazza San Marco. This is a great location, since you can easily walk along the water to the Piazza San Marco in about 15 minutes without getting lost. For more cruise information, see these articles: Venice ferriesFinally, if you're arriving on an Anek Lines ferry from Greece or a catamaran from Croatia or Slovenia, you'll disembark in the same general area of the port that's used by cruise ships. (The car-passenger ferry's pier is between Marittima and the Tronchetto parking island; catamarans arrive and depart at San Basilio.) Back to: Arriving in Venice - Introduction

Most cruise ships arrive at either the Marittima terminal
buildings (see photo above) or the secondary San Basilio pier (inset
