Venice - Marghera Cruises

EMBARKATION FOR CRUISES FROM VENICE - MARGHERA

All embarkation procedures, including baggage drop-off, are held at Venice Cruise Terminal in Venice Maritime Station (Venice Passenger Terminal), therefore guests are kindly asked not to reach autonomously Marghera port.
The cruise ship will depart from Marghera port. A transfer by ferry from Venice Cruise Terminal to Marghera port is organized by MSC Cruises.

Guests with disabilities or reduced mobility should contact their accredited travel agencies or the MSC contact center for special arrangements.

Guests embarking in Venice who also want to visit the city may do so on the last day of their cruise. They can opt for one of the MSC Excursions available for disembarkation day or choose to explore the city autonomously.

Venice Cruise

Start planning your cruise and book your excursions in Venice

MSC Cruises shore excursions can be a clever option for visiting the monuments that draw the largest cruise crowds in Venice: the Basilica di San Marco – the mausoleum of the city’s patron saint – and the Palazzo Ducale – the home of the doge and all the governing councils.

 

Guests with an MSC Shore Excursion in Venice will be taken directly from the ship (docked at Marghera) to San Marco Square by boat enjoying an approximate 45-minute ride along the Venice canal. The on board MSC Excursions team will take care of every detail.
