sallylynne Posted September 14, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2009 :confused:I'm a bit confused....The transportation card you can purchase ahead on veniceconnected.com...is this just for the vaporetto or the Aliguna airport transport too? We need to get from Marco Polo Airport to the Hilton Molino Stucky Hotel about 6pm on Nov.11. I understand there is an Aliguna boat that goes there direct from airport. Is that a different ticket than the vaporetto that I can get a 72 hour ticket for and not start it's use til the next morning. I hope that makes sense and I appreciate getting set straight!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted September 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This website should answer all your questions. Alilaguna is different and a separate ticket from the vaporetti. http://europeforvisitors.com/venice/articles/venice_airport_boat.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purchased an Alilaguna ticket from the airport to the hotel and then a separate 72 hour vaporetto pass to get around the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshine nana Posted September 14, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2009 What was the cost of the pass from aiport to the Hilton? How often do the boats run? How long does it take? Thinking of the Hilton pre and/or post cruise before flying out next am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel5 Posted September 14, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 14, 2009 What was the cost of the pass from aiport to the Hilton? How often do the boats run? How long does it take? Thinking of the Hilton pre and/or post cruise before flying out next am. We are leaving the states on 10/4 and arriving VCE on 10/5 at 9:00am. We board the Ruby Princess 10/7 and spend another night on her before leaving 10/8. We paid 15 Euros for the transport to the hotel from the airport and 23.80 Euros for the 72 hour vaporetto pass which includes admission to the casino with a free drink. Use venicelink.com to purchase them in advance and save a few euros. What you get is a PNR number voucher that you print off and then you turn it in at a vaporetto station. I don't know how long it takes from the airport to the hotel, but they run about every hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napster211 Posted September 15, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Does the Aliguana boat from the airport drop you near the Hilton? My impression was that you got off at "Zattarette" (sp?) and the Hilton shuttle boat picked you up there. Any help would be appreciated! Also, for you Hilton dwellers, what say you about the trip from the Hotel to the Cruise port? Thanks in advance! Oct 10th Splendour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as hotel to ship, we figure to take the vaporetto to P. Roma and then a cab to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
