Despite recent reports, no cruise ship has been banned from Venice.
The beautiful city of Venice and the wonderful Venice cruise port are famous for art and architecture.
Famous artists such as Jacopo Amigoni and Gentile Bellini were Venetians as was Andrea Cominelli, the architect who designed the main facade of the Palazzo Labia.
There are very few modern buildings in this city of canals built in the fifth century. You will see a mixture of Byzantine and Gothic styles making the city itself an amazing architectural masterpiece. In the area of the Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square), you will discover most of the city’s most famous attractions.
The Grand Canal of Venice is more than home to the popular and beloved gondola rides, it is also the scene of the city’s annual Regatta Storica, a floating parade and a series of boat races that date back thousands of years. You are surrounded by history when you visit the beautiful Venice cruise port.
