Alilaguna airport boat

Alilaguna runs public water buses year-round from Venice's Marco Polo Airport to several locations--including the Zattere, which is a short, level walk (with only one small bridge) from the San Basilio cruise terminal. Red Line boats run about once an hour, with the trip taking 1 hour 20 minutes, and fares are moderate. For more information, see our Venice Airport Boats article.

During the cruise season, Alilaguna may offer Blu Line service from the airport to the Stazione Marittima (the larger of Venice's two main cruise terminals) with an intermediate stop at the Zattere. To see whether such boats are available on the day of your arrival or departure, check the Alilaguna timetable at www.alilaguna.it immediately before your trip.

Water taxis

It's possible to hire a water taxi at the airport, but the fare can easily reach 100 euros or more, depending on your ship's location and how many people are traveling with you. For more information, see our Venice Water Taxis article.

Finding the boat piers at the airport

Alilaguna water buses and water taxis leave from piers that are located within walking distance of Venice Marco Polo Airport's arrivals terminal.

It's easy to miss the covered walkway if you're unfamiliar with the airport, so see our illustrated step-by-step directions to avoid confusion.
