Your cruise says Venice. Your ship is in Ravenna.
Since large ships left the lagoon, several cruise lines board their "Venice" itineraries at the Ravenna cruise terminal in Porto Corsini, 145 km south of the city. The small print says "Venice (Ravenna)"; the distance is real and surprises travellers every season.
We close that gap in one ride: pickup at your Venice hotel, Mestre, or Marco Polo Airport, and drop-off at the terminal gangway in about 2 hours 10 minutes, luggage handled, timing planned around your check-in window.
After the cruise we do the reverse: pier exit to Venice, its airport, or anywhere in between, with a stop in Ravenna's mosaic centre if your flight leaves late.
Venice to the Ravenna terminal: the real options
There is no direct train: by rail you change at Ferrara or Bologna and still land at Ravenna station, 13 km from the pier, three hours plus if the connections behave. The cruise lines run transfer coaches from Venice and the airport, efficient but tied to their departure times and sold per person. The private car is the door-to-door option: about 2h10 from the city or Marco Polo, on your schedule, with the margin for embarkation built in. For 3 or more passengers with cruise luggage the per-vehicle price usually beats the coach seats, and it is the only option that starts at your hotel door with no water taxi first. Updated July 2026.
