Roothy, I take a photo of the daily destination newsletter on my cell phone to keep that info close!

My husband and I did the trip to Padua last summer during the day the ship sat in Venice before sailing away at the start of our cruise. It was a nice excursion. We pre-booked our own reservations to see the Scrovegni chapel, and then hired a driver for the round-trip from the port to Padua and back. Be forewarned that your visit to the chapel will only be 30 minutes, 15 minutes to adjust the humidity level and 15 minutes in the chapel. But it’s worth it! There is also a nice little museum at the site, with a pretty sculpture garden and café.

Thank you, I would like the name of the taxi company, and I’d like to know how this all works out when you get back from your cruise! Ours leaves in late June.

We will be embarking at Chioggia on Viking in June, but are planning to spend about five days in the city of Venice before. Our concern will be getting from the city out to the cruise port in Chioggia. Our current plan is to take the vaporetto to Piazzale Roma, and then take a taxi or Uber from there to Chioggia to the cruise port. Any thoughts on that plan?
