TOUR DESCRIPTION

Ravenna Cruise Port to Venice Hotel Transfer (Water Taxi Included)

View Ravenna Port Guide

End your cruise with a private transfer from Ravenna cruise port to your hotel in Venice's city center. This is a two part journey: a private vehicle covers 90 miles (145km) by road to mainland Venice, then a private water taxi carries you the rest of the way, since central Venice's canals are not reachable by car. Your English speaking driver and water taxi captain handle both legs, so there is nothing for you to coordinate in between.

Your Route

About 2.5 hours total: 90 miles (145km) by private vehicle via the A13 motorway from Ravenna Cruise Port to Piazzale Roma, then private water taxi to your hotel. Drive time on the road portion varies with traffic.

Choosing Your Pickup Time

You choose your own pickup time when you book, there is no fixed schedule. Keep the approximately 2.5 hour total journey time in mind when planning your hotel check-in.

Departing from Ravenna Cruise Port

Your driver will be waiting at the Ravenna port cruise terminal exit when you disembark. This is a direct, door to door service from your ship, with the water taxi picking up at Piazzale Roma for the final leg into Venice.

Arriving at Your Venice Hotel

Your water taxi captain takes you directly to the canal landing stage closest to your hotel. This is the most direct way to reach a Venice hotel from Ravenna cruise port, no shared vaporetto or dragging luggage across bridges.

Adding a Stop

This is a direct transfer. If you would like to spend a few hours exploring along the way, Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge, or the Doge's Palace are all worth the detour once you reach Venice. Contact us and we can put together a custom itinerary and quote.

Reverse Transfer: Venice Hotel to Ravenna

Starting your cruise from a Venice hotel instead? We offer the same service in reverse. See our Venice Hotel to Ravenna Cruise Port Transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the water taxi pick us up right at the Ravenna cruise port?

No, the water taxi comes in on the Venice side. Your driver takes you by road from the Ravenna cruise port to mainland Venice, where you transfer to a private water taxi for the final leg to your hotel, since central Venice is not reachable by road.

How long should we expect the full journey to take?

Around 2.5 hours combined between the road drive and the water taxi crossing, with traffic on the road portion being the main variable, so build in some flexibility for your hotel check-in time.

Is this private, or will we share the water taxi with other travelers?

Private the entire way, road transfer and water taxi both, with no other passengers added to your group.

What if our hotel is on a canal that is hard for a water taxi to reach?

Let us know your exact hotel name and address when you book. Venice's canal network means access varies by location, and your driver and water taxi captain need the specifics to plan the most direct route.

What is the luggage allowance for this transfer?

One large suitcase and one personal item per person for the full journey, road and water taxi included. Extra luggage needs to be arranged in advance for a quote.

Review Location- Ravenna	August 13, 2026
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.

Review Location- Ravenna	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
