We are sailing from Venice. Does anyone know where the Azamara docks and recommended hotels nearby. Thank You.

I believe it's usually from the San Basilio Terminal.

Hi

 

The palatzo stern hotel on the grand canal is a very nice hotel stayed there before boarding Azamara the past. It is next to a very good vapereto stop with easy access to St marks Square and all over the city. It is in quieter part of the city but very easy to get to the terminal from by water taxi.

 

Hope that helps

Here is a link to Bonnie stating that San Basilio is the dock for 2016

You lucky things! 'La Serenissima' as they do call Venice is my favourite place. Try the Bauer hotel! Best terrace for breakfast anywhere in the world. Venice hotel rooms are never the place to spend time. Go walking, get lost and never sit in any bar, always stand as the locals do. And drink Prosecco, try it with a dash of Aperol as the Gonderlieris do. Make sure to get a water taxi from the airport, and ask to go via the grand canal. It adds to the cost but you will never regret it. If the ship is departing SanBasilio then you could get a water taxi direct, what a way to start a cruise! Left a cruise this way last year and it became a highlight for my mum. Enjoy it while we can.

Thank you all for your comments.

Whilst a water taxi from the airport is nice, it's much cheaper to get the water bus to St Marks square.

We cruised with Azamara RT from Venice in September 2014. Stayed at the Hotel Moresco. Quiet part of the city; very nice. We walked everywhere, except when we did a circle of the island on the water taxi (and went to some of the outlying islands). We had scheduled a a land taxi from the airport (the Moresco can be reached via a short walk from the train terminal where a taxi can drop you), but there was a strike that blocked the bridge leading into Venice, so we took a water taxi. It was great fun. We were with others, so the cost got split. Same with the trip from the hotel to the dock (you can even walk that if you're only doing backpacks or light luggage...we didn't feel like dragging our rollies, and, again, we split the cost.)
