Venice has long been a classic cruise departure port, but since 2021 the largest ships have been barred from sailing past St. Mark’s and through the Giudecca Canal. Smaller ships may still use Venice’s own terminals, while many larger ships now use other northern Adriatic ports — check your cruise documents for your exact port.
