The authorities in Venice have now banned cruise ships from the lagoon in order to protect their heritage. So the Silver Moon is docked in Fusina, which is almost 2 hours away from Venice, with a combination of boat and bus transfer. The docking place is more than half an hour away from the cruise terminal, which presents many logistical difficulties for crew and guests.
On the first day in
port, TSH and Diva went on an excursion to the islands of Murano and Burano.
This involved a 1 hour boat ride, demonstrations of glass and lace making and
very pleasant walks around places that are like Venice without quite as many
crowds. Sunny but cold.
On the second day in port, the journey was judged too onerous by many guests, including TSH and Diva. So it is a sea-day in port.
