Venice finally bans cruise ships from its lagoon | Venice Cruises | ItalianTourism.us

Venice finally bans cruise ships from its lagoon | Venice Cruises | ItalianTourism.us | Mediterranean Cruises | Scoop.it
Cruise ships currently dock in the city center, gliding past the historic St Mark's Square on their way in. But now the Italian government has banned cruise ships from the lagoon entirely.
Motorino Man's insight:
Venice is a magical city that, because it is built on water, is always facing environmental challenges that threaten its viability.  For sometime it has been evident that Venice's canals cannot handle the wakes produced by large cruise ships entering the Venice lagoon.  To protect the enchanting city's future Venice will no longer allow large cruise ships to embark and disembark inside the Venice lagoon.  Looking for more information about cruises from Venice visit ItalianTourims.us https://italiantourism.us/italy-cruises/venice-cruises/

Last chance for an affordable Mediterranean cruise from Venice!

Motorino Man's insight:

Venice had to limit the amount of cruise ship traffic.  For those who want to cruise from Venice book now as the limits will continue to increase each year, decresaing the availability and increasing the price.

Motorino Man's insight:
