Venice's main ship basin
In the wake of the Italian government's ban of medium and large cruise ships from Venice, the cruise terminals at Marittima handle only small ships and--in many cases--check-ins for larger ships that dock on the mainland. (When passengers of large ships check in at Marittima, they're bused to piers on the mainland.)
To learn where large ships are moored these days, see Venice Cruise Ports (with Maps) at our parent site, Veniceforvisitors.com.
How to reach Marittima from Piazzale Roma:
People Mover
- Board the People Mover elevated tram at the southwest corner of Piazzale Roma.
- Get off one minute later at the Marittima stop.
- Follow the signs to your ship's check-in location. (Port staff will be on hand to direct you.)
Taxi
- Hire a land taxi for a quick ride to Marittima.
