Venice Airport to Trieste cruise port

Several Adriatic cruises now embark in Trieste rather than Venice. Many passengers still fly into Venice, so a direct transfer to the ship is common.

  • Give us your ship and all-aboard time.
  • Allow at least 3 hours between landing and the cut-off.
  • Stay a night to enjoy the cafés and Miramare.

When to go

  • Second Sunday of October: Barcolana, one of the world's most crowded sailing regattas.
  • April to October: Cruise season with departures from the maritime station.

Things to do in Trieste

  • Coffee Trieste-style. Order a 'capo in b' in the historic cafés.
  • Grotta Gigante. One of the world's largest show caves, in the Karst.
  • Opicina tram. Climbs from the centre to the Karst plateau with views over the gulf.
  • Day trip to Slovenia. Ljubljana or the Postojna caves, under 90 minutes away.

Several stops in one day? Hire a Venice chauffeur by the hour.

We booked a transfer from Lisbon Airport to Faro as we were staying in the Algarve for a few days. It was a long drive but the car was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We just sat back and enjoyed the trip instead of worrying about trains and changing buses.
