there are 2 separate water bus systems. The primary 1 is ACTV. It doesn't go to the cruise terminal. The main line is the no 1 which links Piazzale Roma, the train station and so on via the Grand Canal to St. Mark's. There are stops on alternate sides of the canal every few hundred yards. 1,2 and 3 day passes are available. There are other lines as well. This is the main transportation system for Venice.

There is a private system called alilaguna. They run water buses from the airport. They also have a direct line, The M line, from the cruise terminal to St. Mark's

If you are to enjoy Venice, you must purchase a guide book and a map. Have fun. It is a wonderful place. Also, if you wan't to enjoy it, borrow 'city of falling angels' from your library.
