Transportation from Venice (Fusina) Cruise Terminal (port call)

[Kamfish642]

In attempting to follow other posts on this topic, apparently Seabourn does not provide bus or other transportation from industrial port (across lagoon) into Venice itself, unless you are on a Seabourn excursion.  Is this correct?  If not, does Seabourn provide bus service to any villages/towns near the port of Fusina?

Just back from an Encore cruise.

 

Shuttle boat from Fusina to St Marks Square offered - schedule below

@caviarforme That's great that they are providing boat transit directly from Fusina to St. Mark's without requiring people to bus to the old cruise terminal and then catch their own transit to the heart of their city. This wasn't happening in the early days of the cruise ships being exiled to Fusina last year, so it seems the cruise lines are adapting and finding ways to make things work better.

 

Out of curiosity, what kind of boat did they have for this transfer? A chartered vaporetto, or a smaller boat? Was it exclusive to Seabourn, or shared by multiple cruise ships in port that day?

We boarded at Fusina, so did not use the service, but we were the only ship at Fusina that we could see and were told it was a vaporetto with only Seabourn passengers.
