I have no real complaints about the Alilaguna service per se but people should know in advance: It's a long walk from the arrivals area to the embarkation point and back. There are no toilets on the (properly, heads, I guess!) so go before you get on. The queues are long and I almost didn't get on the boat to Venice -- but, happily, I did (it helped that I was a single). There is little ventilation on the boat so it was hot and stuffy. It's ideal for Murano, where I stayed, as it's the first stop there and the last one back. But you may have to plan to take an earlier one you might not otherwise need to do in case you don't get on. There were only a few seats left when I went -- at 06:40 am -- so I got lucky but had I been denied boarding on the next boat (an hour later at that time of day) I'd not have made it on time. Some people were allowed to keep their luggage with them, taking up seating space. But I arrived safely in both directions so that is the important thing. The pricing seems fair.

Easy to find the boarding area of the Alilaguna blue line. No possibility for nice views as promised during the purchase of the ticket. Everyone was obliged to sit down inside the covered area and the windows were closed so that people do not get wet.

This service was amazing, everything went smoothly and we were grateful as we had just come off 35 hours in transit from Sydney to Venice via Shanghai. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get from Venice airport to the heart of Venice.

Lots of signs to follow to find the dock after i collected my luggage. Staff helped me with my bags on and off. Staff happily confirmed I was at the right dock to get off.

Super easy to find the pick up location at the airport. Comfortable transfer. It was slightly difficult to find the pick up location but we managed to by asking a local.

Bonne expérience. Mais il serait intéressant que le personnel de bord indique où sont les gilets de sauvetage et qu'ils aillent moins vite car de fois c'est inquiétant.

Your ultimate water bus adventure

Immerse yourself in the essence of Venice, starting your journey the moment you land at Marco Polo Airport with a direct water bus transfer. Reach your destination in less than 2 hours. If you miss your transfer, you can board the next one as they arrive every 30 to 60 mins. Choose from 3 lines to discover the city's most scenic spots. Whether it's the iconic landmarks of St. Mark's Square or the charming canals of the Rialto area, each route promises a unique ride.

Multiple ways to explore Venice

Venice runs on vaporettos (water buses), sleek water taxis, and romantic gondolas. Walk the charming alleys or hop on a traghetto for a quick canal crossing. Buses and trains connect to the mainland, while bike rentals work in Lido. Taxis exist, but boats rule the lagoon!

Luggage within the allowed limit (1 suitcase + 1 carry-on per person).

What’s not allowed

Extra luggage beyond the allowance (additional fees apply).

Multiple pets or pets not inside a suitable carrier.

Accessibility

These water buses are not wheelchair accessible.
