A cruise terminal for small ships and river vessels
Terminal San Basilio is a quay alongside the Giudecca Canal, not far from the main Marittima basin. It's used by river vessels, small (below 25,000 GRT) oceangoing ships, and hydrofoil ferries to Croatia.
San Basilio and its neighboring Santa Marta pier can handle several small ships at a time, and when you walk out of the terminal building, you're in Venice's historic center.
How to reach San Basilio by ACTV public water bus:
- Take the No. 2 vaporetto to San Basilio.
- As you leave the boat pier, turn left and cross the small wooden footbridge to the cruise terminal. (During embarkation hours, port employees will accept your luggage outside the entance.)
How to reach San Basilio by land or water taxi:
- Tell the driver that your destination is "Terminal San Basilio."
- Water taxis arrive at the terminal's front entrance; land taxis at the back. (During embarkation hours, port employees will accept your baggage before you enter the terminal.)
