Ravenna (Venice) overnight stop

[klflote]

Looking at itinerary next year on Celebrity that starts with an overnight in Ravenna. We did that once when the ship could dock in Venice, and it was amazing having the ship as a base of operations for 2 days (1.5, really, with a 5 pm sailaway). But now it seems...impractical with a 5 hour RT commute. The timing for the reverse itinerary doesn't work for us (when we could just extend at a hotel actually in Venice), and I'm searching for earrings why this itinerary would work but coming up empty...

 

Has anyone done a similar itinerary yet?

I'm on back-to-back cruises on Constellation this fall where the changeover day between the first and second cruises includes an extra night in Ravenna.

 

The thing is, it makes sense for seeing some of Ravenna. It makes less sense if your ultimate destination is Venice.
