Since 2021, ships over 25,000 tons can’t sail past St. Mark’s, so most cruises from Venice board at Porto Marghera or the Fusina terminal on the mainland. Small luxury ships still use the old Marittima terminal near Piazzale Roma. Your cruise documents name the terminal, and some lines sell “Venice” cruises that actually leave from Trieste or Ravenna.
The average high temperature in Venice during August is 79°F, with a low of 75°F.
Venice typically sees 2 days of rain in August. Hot and humid, peak crowds.
For a August cruise to Venice, you should pack lightweight, breathable clothing, swimwear, and sun protection.
