Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Bologna Airport from Ravenna cruise port?
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) is approximately 55 miles (90km) from the Ravenna cruise terminal at Porto Corsini. The drive takes about 1.5 hours via the A14 motorway, though travel time can vary with traffic around Bologna's ring road.
How does the driver know when to meet me?
We track your flight in real time and schedule your pickup based on your actual arrival, building in time for immigration, baggage claim, and customs. If your flight is early or delayed, your driver adjusts automatically.
Is Bologna Airport a better choice than Venice Airport for reaching Ravenna?
Bologna is roughly half the distance: about 55 miles (90km) from BLQ compared to about 109 miles (175km) from Venice Marco Polo (VCE), so the drive runs about 1.5 hours from Bologna versus about 2.5 hours from Venice. Bologna's airport is also smaller and easier to navigate, with faster baggage claim, so if your flights allow it, BLQ is often the better option for reaching Ravenna.
Why Fly into Bologna Instead of Venice?
Bologna is roughly half the distance to Ravenna compared to Venice — 80 km vs. 175 km — which means a shorter drive, lower transfer cost, and less time on the road after a long flight. Bologna's airport is also smaller and easier to navigate than Venice Marco Polo, with faster baggage claim and immigration. If you can find flights into BLQ, it's often the better option for reaching Ravenna.
Can I stop in Bologna or Ravenna's historic center along the way?
This transfer is a direct airport to port service, but if you would like to add a stop in Bologna for lunch or in Ravenna's historic center to see the Byzantine mosaics, contact us for a customized quote. We can arrange a transfer with sightseeing time built in.
Where exactly does the driver drop me off in Ravenna?
Your driver takes you directly to the cruise ship drop-off area at Porto Corsini, Ravenna's cruise terminal. This is a door-to-ship service — no shuttle buses or extra transportation required.

Reviewer: CORREEN S from Charlotte, NC  
Ravenna - Guiamo our guide was the best! He was so knowledgeable and took time to interact with all of us based on our interests and questions. When we stopped at a cafe for a coffee and snack he jumped right in to help us order and make sure we got everything correct. The tour was exceptional and he gave an amazing restaurant recommendation reservation for lunch. Our driver was Roberto and traded cell phone numbers with us so we could call him when we were ready. He was very prompt and friendly.

5 of 5 Review Location- ravenna Saturday, August 8, 2026
Reviewer: Walter H from Union Hall VA  
We had a wonderful vacation. Every one of the tour guides were great. My family was really impressed with their knowledge, service, and friendliness. I was pleasantly surprised with how much better an experience we had compared to the Princess Cruise Ship Tours. For example, our tour guide for the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii knew that Pompeii was closed until 1130 AM and changed our itinerary to travel along the coast in the morning and go to Pompeii at the end of the day. The other tours just took people to the gate and waited for two hours. Thanks again. My wife and kids felt that each guide was a   friend   by the end of the tour. The guides in Florence and Ephesus were probably the highlight for us. The Mercedes vans that were used in most cities were always nice and all of our drivers were really great. Ive already recommended you to a friend.

Reviewer: Travel Agent Pam S from Liberty Travel, Englewood, NJ  
I cant thank you enough for the excellent service. The private tours you arranged far exceeded any expectations. When we walked off the ship and saw our drivers waiting we all felt like Royalty. They made wonderful recommendations regarding our itineraries. The vans were absolutely immaculate. They always opened our doors and assisted us in and out of the vehicle. They were so knowledgeable about their destinations.  I cant wait to contact some of my clients who are planning European cruises for next season and together with you planning their private tours
