End your cruise on the right foot with a private transfer from your ship in Venice directly to your hotel. A host meets you at the cruise terminal and walks you to your waiting private water taxi. Each person may bring one large suitcase and one personal item, such as a backpack or purse. The number of water taxis used is based on the size of your private group.
Vehicle Types: Water taxis have an interior cabin with bench seats and windows, plus a forward or stern seating area with a few outside seats.
Total Transfer Time: Plan on approximately 30 minutes, traffic and canal conditions pending.
Larger Groups: For groups that exceed our standard water taxi capacity, we can arrange additional taxis or a mid-size boat. Use the group request button on this page or contact us with your group size and travel date for a custom quote.
Cruise Ship Now Arriving in Ravenna Instead of Venice?
Since 2021, large cruise ships have been restricted from entering the historic center of Venice by lagoon, and some cruise itineraries listed as "Venice" now dock instead at Ravenna's Porto Corsini, roughly 90 miles (145km) south along the Adriatic coast. If your ship is calling at Ravenna rather than the Venice cruise terminal, Private Shore Trips also runs regular private transfers between Venice hotels and Ravenna cruise port. See our Ravenna Cruise Port Transfers page for all available routes.
