Rare HeinBloed Posted October 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Today (October 16, 2021), MSC ORCHESTRA, is berthing at Marghera Terminal (Mainland). Is this a final solution to replace the replacement Monfalcona with Venice Passenger Terminal Handling and bus transfer? Thanks for any additional information.

sidari Posted October 16, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2021 HB ... Marghera has always been touted as the replacement, it is an Industrial port with no passenger facilities so while it may suffice in the short term there needs to be facilities built in order to remain taking cruise ships. A bus trip will still be needed in to Venice unless water taxi's are also available though this is part of the problem in Venice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HeinBloed Posted October 16, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I am asking specifically for MSC. Since July you had to check-in in Venice and moved you by bus to Monfalcone. From Monfalcone they offered various destinations to be dropped off. Today the first MSC ship is calling Marghera and I would to know if this operation will stay or a single call for MSC. HAL is going all the season already to Marghera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HeinBloed Posted October 16, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted October 16, 2021 MSC MAGNIFICA left Split, Croatia and showing as destination in AIS-signal: Porto Marghera. MSC ORCHESTRA left Marghera and followed to the coastline Southbound until the end of the Lido-Island. Here she moved from the Laguna to the Adriatic Sea. It looks like we are lucky: and we can see "a little" of Venice when sailing out and in from/to Venice instead of Monfalcone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h8130 Posted October 20, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Wondering the exact same thing. Looking at a last minute trip with MSC Magnifica. Any idea about check in times / lines at the Venice cruise terminal with MSC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HeinBloed Posted October 20, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Originally (20 days before sailing) we had a time slot of 11:00 hrs - 12:00 hrs. But today we got new documents showing 09:50 hrs - 10:50 hrs - still at Venice Stazione Marittima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
