Warm, crowds thin out
Venice in September offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 72°F and comfortable lows near 68°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 3 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Warm, crowds thin out.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Venice, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.

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 September is 72°F, with a low of 68°F.
Venice typically sees 3 days of rain in September. Warm, crowds thin out.
For a September cruise to Venice, you should pack layers, a light jacket, and comfortable walking shoes.
