Venice Departure Day

[Jack E Dawson]

We will be taking the Empires of the Mediterranean cruise departing out of Venice. This will be our first time on Viking. The schedule shows an 11:00PM (23:00) departure. I was wondering if we will be able to check-in around 11:00AM, drop our bags (I know our room won't be ready till mid afternoon) and then depart for some additional Venice sightseeing. Our plan would be to return to the ship around 5:00PM (17:00). Is that something Viking will allow us to do? Is the dock location such that we could easily get back to the sight seeing areas?

Thanks,

Jack

Jack,

 

Yes, your plan will work fine.  You will be able to walk from the ship to the people mover train, which runs to the Piazzale Roma where you are able to catch a vaporetto to reach anywhere you’d like to go in Venice.

 

After dropping your bags and having lunch on the ship, you are allowed to go off the ship (after scanning your ship card).

 

This is exactly what we did when we joined Orion this past August.

Thanks MT, exactly the information I was looking for.
