Fusina is a mainland terminal on the Venetian Lagoon used as an alternative to docking in Venice itself, with water transport into the city. Venice's St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal and the Rialto are the obvious goal.

Day 2At sea.A full day at sea aboard MSC Armonia. Sailing from Venice (Fusina) toward Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik docks at Gruž, about three kilometres from the walled Old Town, so budget for a bus or taxi at both ends. The walk around the city walls is the thing to do and takes a couple of hours; go at opening or late, because the Old Town at midday in season is genuinely uncomfortable.
