I've been researching my May 2014 cruise and have read a few articles on the Port in Venice. There are 2 issues in play:

1 - from Dec 2013 to April 2014 all ships will use the commercial port. This is to allow construction of a system of gates in that area designed to control the flooding in Venice itself

2 - After construction, the main port will be reopen

Once the main port is reopened, there will be new restrictions going into effect. From what I read, fewer ships and a different approach to the port but the various articles all had different effective dates for the restrictions

My cruise is May 10 which is so close to the construction completion that I probably won't know until I get there

Thanks for the info but while I was waiting I was looking around for info and found the 121 route and timetable. I simply do not understand the zones for the fares. Many people have posted that the fares to Bad Doberan from Rostock all day ticket is 7.80. I checked their ticket info - shows Rostock as zone 3 and Bad Doberan as 8. Somehow that works out to Rostock + 4 (their site shows the 7.80 fare)

When I put in Kuhlungsborn, I now have zones 3 for Rostock and Zone 10 for Kuhlungsborn and they show the day ticket as 10.80 or 9.30 depending on which Rostock Area I use (even though they all say zone 3)

Since I cannot read German, I have a step by step guide for buying the ticket from the machine in Warnemuende to Bad Doberan. It says my zone info will be 4004

What should the zone info be to include the trip back from Kuhlungsborn and should it be the 10.8 fare or is the 7.8 ticket sufficient

Also it appears there is a newer schedule with route 121 buses every hour http://www.rvk-rostock.de/Regio.17.0.html

Am I reading this correctly ?

Thanks Again

Hi, thanks for your appreciation.

There is a bus connection from Kühlungsborn back to Rostock, #121.

Departs Kühlungsborn Bahnhof West (the Molli station); 2.55pm, 4.55pm, 6.55pm, 7.55pm.

Journey time is about 1hr 15mins.

If you intend to have a look around Rostock on the way back the best stop to get off is Rostock, Deutsche Med-Platz. From there it is a 3min walk to the Kröpeliner Tor and the top end of the city. The bus terminates at Central Station.

The day ticket you need is Rostock+4 zones =7.80 for 1 person or 23.40 for a group (up to 5 persons). This would cover:

Bus - Warnemünde to Bad Doberan

Bus - Kühlungsborn to Rostock

Tram+train - Rostock to Warnemünde.

Happy cruising :)

First let me say thanks for all the info you have already posted. It's been a huge help

I hoping you can answer a question for me about the Molli train. I'm planning to go directly to Bad Doberan by bus and take the Molli train. My question is once I get to Kuhlungsborn, is there a rail or bus connection back to Rostock. I rather not spend the time looking at the same scenery going back on the Molli

If so , can you give me details including the zone information I need for my ticket (I will be getting the 1 day ticket)

Thanks
