The Port of Venice boasts a number of advantages and enjoys a strategical position.

This makes it the best choice for freight transit in both import and export.

Passengers

The Port of Venice is one of the most important Mediterranean homeports for cruise ships. Because it has several passenger terminals it can diversify its offer to cater for cruise ships, ferries, fast ships sailing to the coast of Istria, yachts and mega yachts.

Available facilities

Venice's Passenger Port counts on three main facilities: Marittima, San Basilio and Santa Marta, and Riva delle Zattere.

The Passenger Terminals

The Marittima area is entirely dedicated to passengers with 10 state of the art terminals and dedicated services.
Medium sized cruise ships, mega-yachts and fast ships berth at S. Basilio and Santa Marta.

Ships

The efficient and advanced services offered by the Port of Venice enable it to host different types of ships: cruise ships, ferries, high-speed craft and yachts.

Cruise ships account for a large share of transiting passengers. In 2019 1,617,945 passengers transited by Venice, confirming its position as one of the Mediterranean's chief homeport.

Hydrofoils and fast ships connect the city with Istria, and indeed Venice is the ideal port to set sail to Slovene and Croatian coasts. Several daily services connect the two shores during the summer.

Venice is becoming increasingly popular for yachts and mega yachts that can now moor in dedicated berths in some of the City's most panoramic areas: riva delle Zattere, riva degli Schiavoni and San Basilio. Yachting is being encouraged as testified by the services offered and the plans ongoing in this area.
