Resources

Venice Airport VCE. Venice Marco Polo Airport is named for the 13th century Venetian merchant and explorer, and is one of the few airports in the world with its own boat dock, letting arriving passengers step from a plane onto a water taxi across the lagoon. Official Website

Ravenna Cruise Port (Porto Corsini). Ravenna served as capital of the Western Roman Empire, the Ostrogothic Kingdom, and Byzantine Italy, and its eight Early Christian monuments hold the finest collection of Byzantine mosaics in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. Official Website

Note: A new cruise terminal is under construction at Porto Corsini, Ravenna. The 10,000 square meter facility is expected to open in 2026 and will replace the current smaller terminal, allowing two ships to dock at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Venice Airport from Ravenna cruise port?
Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is approximately 109 miles from the Ravenna cruise terminal at Porto Corsini. The drive takes about 2.5 hours via the A13 motorway, though travel time can vary depending on traffic conditions around Padova and the port zone approach road.
What time should I schedule my pickup after my flight lands?
We'll schedule your pickup based on typical arrival times, allowing for deplaning, passport control (for non-Schengen arrivals), baggage claim, and customs. Your driver tracks your flight in real time and will adjust accordingly.
Can I take a train from Venice Airport to Ravenna instead?
It's possible but complex. You would need to take the ATVO or ACTV bus to Venice Mestre station, then catch a Trenitalia train to Bologna Centrale, and connect to a regional train to Ravenna. The total journey takes 3.5–4+ hours and requires managing luggage through multiple transfers — challenging for cruise passengers with heavy bags.

You're welcome to bring one large suitcase plus a personal item (backpack, purse, or carry-on) per passenger. Got more than that -- extra bags, oversized items, golf clubs, or mobility equipment? Reach out ahead of time and we'll put together a custom quote.
Exactly where in Ravenna does the driver drop us off?
You'll be driven straight to the ship drop-off point at Porto Corsini, Ravenna's cruise terminal — a true door-to-ship service with no shuttle buses or extra transfers needed.
Can I stop in Ravenna's city center on the way to the port?
This transfer is a direct airport-to-port service. However, if you'd like to add a stop in Ravenna's historic center to see the famous mosaics or have lunch, contact us for a customized quote. We can arrange a transfer with sightseeing time built in.

Reviewer: Reggie M from Roaring Spring, PA  
Excellent service provided with clean and efficient vehicles. The driver was very professional, and got us to our destination in a timely manner. The water taxi driver found us, even though we were a block from the meeting place. You could tell that the company cared for their customers, and provided an excellent service and experience.

Reviewer: Mei Ying L from Tampa, FL  
We were 2 and a half hours late in arriving at the airport where we were to be picked up for a 4 hour excursion which was scheduled to end by 2pm but the tour operator allowed for an extension of the tour till 3pm without extra charge. We had good guides clean and fairly new vehicles. Itineraries were interesting and flexible.
