Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) will no longer call in Venice in 2024 and will swap in other destinations.
NCL noted that a ban on large cruise ships in the Venetian Lagoon
means ships must anchor outside of the lagoon and use tenders to access
the Port of Venice. The line said the experience has "fallen short of
the standard we aim to deliver".
NCL is substituting Ravenna, Italy; Rijeka and Zadar, Croatia; or Koper, Slovenia, based on port availability.
Calls in Venice scheduled for 2025 will be cancelled and replaced
with a day at sea until a new port is confirmed, NCL said. Guests and
travel advisors will be notified of the modified itinerary, the line
added.
