Sullanciri Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 We're booked on a Silversea cruise sailing from Fusina in just about a year from now. We've heard rumors that ships who use this port still ask passengers to check-in at the main terminal in Venice itself, only to transfer them by bus to Fusina once the check-in has been completed. Has anyone had to do this ? Does it work smoothly or is it a huge hassle ? I'm asking because I'd rather be (mentally) prepared ... and as it is the season that ships are sailing that region, felt it was the right time to launch this question on these boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Sisters Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 @Sullanciri I have yet to explore Venice, but I too am curious to hear the responses about this area. This transfer process does sound accurate, but I wouldn't be too overwhelmed. I would prepare myself for this bus shuttle. It's likely a courtesy shuttle anyway, instead of having to taxi and find your own way from the port. I would view this as a little blessing in disguise. The bus system will eliminate the headache of finding alternate transportation once off-ship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJ Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Agreed I've wanted to go to Venice for such a long time. It's something beautiful to look at. Apparently they have something like 400 footbridges knitting the whole place together. I'd love to see that personally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Sisters Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 @LukeJ That's incredible! I would be willing to transfer on a bus during a visit too. I'm curious to hear from @Sullanciri has to say about the check-in/transfer system in Venice. The area has done its fair share of protesting large ships due to flooding issues in the past. https://www.cruisehive.com/venice-to-ban-large-cruise-ships-from-august-1st/53238 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
