kahuna21 Posted July 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Is Seabourn Encore using the Marghera port now? (We are docking there, mid-cruise, in October.) Please share recent Venice port experiences, good and bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahuna21 Posted July 31, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Thanks Vineyard View. How was your experience getting to and from Venice from the port? Although we are hitting Venice as a port of call, not starting or ending there, so it may be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vineyard View Posted July 31, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I believe that you will not have to go through the old cruise terminal as we had to. They will likely take you to Piazzale Roma, where you can walk, take a public water shuttle, or private water taxi. You cannot drive any further into Venice from that point. Bus time to the old cruise terminal was 30 min. I have heard that to the bus terminal it is a bit less than that. Mayne someone who has had this as a port day rather than embarkation/departure location can confirm, but I do believe this is likely accurate. Maybe go to ports of call section on CC and ask as the rules of engagement for Fusina are not cruise line controlled, but Port Authority controlled. Have a great time!

Rare Vineyard View Posted July 31, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2023 That is great to know! So much better than having to take the bus as we did, as ours was not a port stop. Even with the bus, I would take that over the outlier ports other lines are docking at for Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
