Port Distances

[rayandshirl]

We will be on the Ruby in October for the Venice to Ft. Lauderdale transatlantic cruise.

 

How far are the ports from where the ship is docked, i.e. Venice, Rome, Florence?

 

Thank you very much.

The ship doesn't actually dock on Rome or Florenece--but people take the train from the ports to the cities. In Venice, it varies by ship; we could walk to some places and take the vaporetto to others.

 

You may want to check out the Ports of Call boards for answers to your question.

You're approximately 90 minutes away from both Rome and Florence. Venice, you'd be walking distance to where you could catch the vaporetto along the Grand Canal, or take the ships shuttle to St Marks.

Allow at least two hours each way to and from Florence and Rome to be safe and even that isn't a guarantee. Italian drivers are downright crazy and have lots of accidents.
