Getting from Marco Polo airport to Ravenna city centre 1 day before cruise.

Hello, would appreciate any transportation tips as to how to get between the two cities.  Before and after the cruise for 10 adults.

 

Thanks in advance.

Does your cruise offer a shuttle option? 10 adults is going to be a lot of moving parts doing it outside of an organized shuttle. 

 

That being said you can hire your own car service (or services), take a bus, or take the train (with a change in either Bologna or Ferrara). A minivan that seats 5-6 plus luggage is going to cost around 350-400 Euros for that trip and you'll need at least 2. The bus and train will be significantly cheaper per person (the train is around 20 Euro if bought in advance even using the high speed Frecce trains) but there will be transfers etc to get to the cruise port and you'll most likely need an Uber or taxi to connect you at either end.

For a group of 10, it's definitely worthwhile to get a mini bus private transfer, as it will work out to be a reasonable cost as well as much more comfortable for everyone.

In case you do want to do how to travel by train on your own, here's my experience of having traveled to Ravenna to embark on a RC cruise:
