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 February is 47°F, with a low of 43°F.
Venice typically sees 3 days of rain in February. Cold, Carnival month.
For a February cruise to Venice, you should pack warm layers, a waterproof jacket, and thermal wear.
