beenthereonce Posted March 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hello there, our Greek islands cruise on the Oosterdam, docks at 07:00 on Sept 2nd in Trieste, I have been trying to find out what time the bus ground transportation to Venice airport leaves the Trieste Cruise port. My flight leaves at 12:40PM HAL cannot give a time the ground transportation leaves the port, only it will take approx. 2 hours, they suggest flights after 1:00 PM Has anybody used this service and advise what time it traditionally departs the port? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Transfers aren't on a fixed schedule, such as a bus leaves every XX minutes or similar. The buses line up, waiting for the ship to clear and start off loading, and leave when full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquer Posted March 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I do not know for this coming summer. However, last summer we used the HAL transfers from Trieste to VCE. Our bus left Trieste at 6:51AM and we got to VCE at 8:40AM. We were also booked on a 12:40PM flight on Air France. We were kind of irked that AF didn't allow us to check-in until 2 hours before our flight, so we had to just stand around in the check-in area and could not go to the business class lounge until much later in the morning.

Rare *Miss G* Posted March 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) You may also want to check this recent thread. It was originally posted on the HAL forum and got moved… so here it is, just in case. Edited March 30, 2023 by *Miss G* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissie Posted March 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2023 We were in Trieste last year (not on a cruise) - the ships park right in the middle of town - you are literally 5 min flat walk from the train station. There are very regular trains to the airport - every 30 min or so from memory). You buy tickets in the machines at the station and get on the next train.

For VCE Venice Marco Polo, it is necessary to take a train to Venice Mestre and then transfer to bus or taxi. There is no direct train service to VCE airport.

Nope to VCE Venice Marco Polo is a stop on the way to Venice - we were going to Venice but I noted how close the airport was to the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks We did the Greek cruise last year from Trieste on the Oosterdam and we used a private transfer for our group of 4. No way we wanted to spend 2 hours in a crowded bus with 30 or more strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no train station at Venice Marco Polo airport. The airport may be close to the train but the stations are located at Venice Mestre (10 kms) or Venice Santa Lucia (14 kms). https://www.veneziaairport.it/en/transport/train.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just spent two weeks on the ship with these strangers, why would you not ride on a bus with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beenthereonce Posted March 31, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hi There just a small update to my post. As Canadians, HAL converts currency to CAD, the cost for 3 people on HAL bus ground transportation is $386.10 CAD . After googling private companies prices and reviews, private transportation for 3 is $489.00 CAD, with arrivals meet. We will go this route. Thanks to all for your information and points of view.
