Trieste is not a large city (compared to, say, Rome, Milan, Florence, etc.). It's not a small podunk town, but not enormous by any means. You'll be fine. For comparison's sake, we disembarked from Civitavecchia about 8 am on Sunday and after taking a train from there to Fiumicino airport, we were there by 11, and our flight was at 1:15.

Rare mexicobob Posted November 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Think the odds of you leaving the ship at 6:30 are less than zero. You do not say what ship you are on, but would say 9:00 would be more realistic. We disembarked there last April. Very small terminal. Finding your luggage might could be a challenge. Anyway......you should not have any trouble. Nice, smallish city with much character. Plenty of taxis out front when we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea we usually stay before the cruise and fly straight home! If you can get off in the first bunch as soon as possible, and have a taxi waiting maybe it will work, We thought we wouldn’t rush off so waited to 8am to get off but so did a lot of other guys😂Enjoy your cruise!

Yesterday when I checked, it was 37 minutes by car from the port to the airport. If you get in at 6:30 AM, I see no issues with making a 1 pm flight. Enjoy your cruise!

RD64 Posted November 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2023 The advantage of flying out of TRS is that it is a very small, regional airport. You will not experience the massive lineups for check-in, baggage, security, passport control. Actually, since you will be flying to either Frankfurt or Rome for your connection, you won’t even have your passports checked. Barring any major delays in the ship’s arrival you should be good.

room with a view Posted November 15, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Thanks everyone for all your posts ...because of logistics (Ryanair are the only airline that flies direct to Trieste) and other airlines have one or two stop-overs) we are going to have to rethink and fly into Marco Polo and back from Marco Polo. We haven't booked the cruise (hope the cabin we want is still available !!!) until we can sort out flights.

Can't get from Trieste to Marco Polo for a flight that departs at 13.00 Yes we were flying from Manchester, the train from Trieste is around 2hrs if on time ours to Venice was about 20 mins late so a bit of a gamble for a lunch time flight! Even by car it would be a good hour or two depending on traffic.When do you cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

di T Posted November 16, 2023 #16 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It’s not easy, but I do like to do our own trips so flight hotels and cruise all separate while able but we have been caught out a couple of times, the flights are the problem I always find!

room with a view Posted November 16, 2023 Author #17 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hi Di ..we are flying to and from Marco Polo . 4 nights 🌙 post and 1 night at a MP airport hotel as the flight is an early one. Plenty time to look at transfers up to Trieste . As you know we came unstuck when the Epic was cancelled..but still prefer to book flights and hotel separately .

There’s a good train sevicefrom Venice Mestre station to Trieste Central then just a 15 minute walk along the front to the ship, I booked the train through train line and it was very comfortable and inexpensive.

We are looking at the options going straight from Marco Polo airport to Trieste ,4 nights there and then on to the ship. Guess it will be by bus ..but direct .

di T Posted November 26, 2023 #20 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Haven’t actually tried that journey.But the bus is worth pricing.We only stayed one night in Trieste it was a lovely place with beautiful architecture and plenty of options for food and drinks.I would stay there again, The train was booked on train line AP and was just under £20 for both of us.Was about an hour and a half to Mestre.We have been to Venice lots and have stayed in the Mestre district 4 times it’s a short trip to the airport by taxi or bus.I would price the bus direct from Marco Polo if I was you! Happy cruising.Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room with a view Posted November 26, 2023 Author #21 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Thanks, Di same for us ...so we thought to stay in Trieste for the 4 nights . Now looking for a hotel. Last time we were in Venice it was Christmas Day and we managed to get into St Mark's for part of the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
di T Posted November 26, 2023 #22 Share Posted November 26, 2023 We stayed in you me design place hotel a modern 4 star was easy to find and 10 mins from the ship, Nice breakfast but our room was noisy from the street, we had the window open a wee bit because the room was very hot! ( They tend to knock the air conditioning off in November) but it was 24degrees in the room and the window had been taped shut so we had to get them to take the tape off and it seems the window was broken and wouldn’t shut lol.There was a beautiful building near by that was an Hilton at doubletree think I would have a look at that if we return.

You can still use NCL air credits and have packaged flights on other days than the standard offered by NCL. Booking any hotels separately. Can save quite a bit if they can do the flights you want, worth checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
