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 October is 65°F, with a low of 61°F.
Venice typically sees 4 days of rain in October. Mild, rain picks up.
For a October cruise to Venice, you should pack layers, a light jacket, and comfortable walking shoes.
