Because of strict rules: The first major cruise company is removing Venice from its program. As of: February 22, 2024, 11:26 a.m By: Franziska Kaindl CommentsPressSplit The rules for visiting Venice are becoming increasingly strict, especially for cruise tourists.
Large cruise ships are no longer allowed to pass St. Mark's Square in Venice. Starting this summer, day tourists will pay an entrance fee of five euros each to visit Venice. This applies on several weekends in the high season and is intended to keep the crowds to a minimum.
