The Ravenna cruise terminal is at Porto Corsini, outside the historic center. The city’s official tourism page publishes a shared transfer of about 30 minutes, from 20 euros, rather than a walk from a center hotel.
Quick answer: stay in central Ravenna and book the official transfer. From 1 May to 31 December 2026 the city pickup is listed at about 30 minutes, from 20 euros. The terminal is not a walk from the hotels on that pickup list.

The train-station pickup is on Viale Luigi Carlo Farini, next to Piazza Anita Garibaldi, which the page says is 300 meters from the station. The city-hotel list includes NH Hotel Ravenna, Hotel Centrale Byron, Hotel Ravenna, Hotel Astoria, GHM Grand Hotel Mattei, and Hotel Mosaico, plus others. The full list, and the instruction to check the calendar, is on the official transfer page. The page was last modified on 13 August 2026. We read it on 13 October 2026.
A hotel in Venice is a different transfer. The fares above are the Ravenna ones.

How we checked this guide
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page is when we last reviewed it end to end.
- Parking rates, shuttle fees and transport times are taken from the port’s, venue’s or operator’s own published pages and from each hotel’s own website — not from aggregator sites.
- Distances and journey times are the figures the venue or transit operator publishes, not our estimates. Where we give a distance, we say what it is measured to.
- Hotel amenities (breakfast, shuttle hours, pet and parking policies) come from each hotel’s own site. These change more often than anything else here, so confirm them when you book.
- Room rates are deliberately not listed anywhere on this site. They move daily, and a price written one month is wrong the next. Our links take you to live pricing instead.
- We have not stayed at every hotel we write about. Where we contacted a property directly, the guide says so and gives the date. Where a figure comes from a third-party report rather than an official source, we say that too.

Frequently asked questions
Can I walk from Ravenna to the cruise terminal?
No. The official page sends you from the city to the Porto Corsini terminal by transfer, about 30 minutes.
How much is the shared transfer?
The tourism page lists the city and train-station rides from 20 euros, and the Marina Romea ride from 10 euros. Check the calendar on that page for your sailing date.
Does the 20 euro fare include a hotel in Venice?
No. The page we checked is the Ravenna transfer. Venice is a separate city and a separate ride.
Do you earn a commission on the cruise fare or the transfer?
No. Book the transfer on the tourism site and the sailing on the cruise line’s site. A room booked through the room-rate button can earn this site a commission.

We start at the venue and work outward: walking time, shuttle and transit options first, then guest review scores and value for money. Hotels can’t pay to be listed. Some links are affiliate links, so we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Prices and availability change daily, so always check live rates before you book.
