diamondj Posted August 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Has anyone advice on best water transport from this stop near St Marks square to the NCL cruise terminal. We will be boarding on Regata Storica day, so need to get on board lunchtime to avoid crowds and Grand Canal closure. There will be 4 of us, each with large case and cabin size bag. Any advice welcome and costs if you have them please. So excited now 😎😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted August 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2017 On a normal day a private water taxi would be about €80 - €100, expensive but not so hard to swallow when divided by four. For only €7 each you can take the Alilaguna blue line from San Zaccaria to the cruise terminal, assuming that it will be running that day: http://www.alilaguna.it/linee/linea-blu I would reach out to Alilaguna to find out about their service that day and to your hotel to find out about private water taxis.

marazul Posted August 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Here is the program for the regatta: http://www.regatastoricavenezia.it/rs.php?lang=en&pg=7&page=1&ed=2017 Are you sailing Saturday or Sunday? On Sunday, the regatta is betwen San Marco and the train station. San Zaccharia is past San Marco and not in the regatta zone. From San Zaccharia the water taxi can take you to the terminal along the Canal de la Giudecca instead of the Grand Canal.

euro cruiser Posted August 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Be sure to verify before assuming these services will be available. I tried a dummy booking for a water taxi and it would not make a reservation for Saturday or Sunday that weekend, owing to a local event (the regata).

marazul Posted August 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Good point. For a taxi, the hotel might help book it. Also check the Alilaguna and vaporetti schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
