Hours Ashore

Fusina cruise terminal (mainland, ships up to 250 m)

Two berths (210 m and 250 m). The new terminal building opened in August 2024; some lines still route check-in through Marittima, so follow your cruise line's instructions.

Getting into town

Most passengers use their cruise line's transfer. Independently, the Fusina to Zattere ferry run by Terminal Fusina crosses the lagoon in about 25 to 30 minutes, every day of the year, from the Terminal Fusina dock about 1 km from the cruise terminal (ask staff whether you can walk it or take a taxi). From Zattere, walk about 20 to 25 minutes to St Mark's or take vaporetto line 2. Allow at least an hour each way.

Step-free

The cruise terminal is a single-storey building; check access on the ferry with Terminal Fusina before you go.
