Overview
Ravenna, located in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, is a treasure trove of history and art. Once the capital of the Western Roman Empire, it boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage sites, including dazzling Byzantine mosaics that rival any in Europe. The cruise port at Porto Corsini, about 13–15 km from the city center, has grown in importance since Venice restricted large cruise ships, making Ravenna a key embarkation point for Mediterranean and Adriatic itineraries.
Porto Corsini itself offers a relaxed beach town vibe, with easy access to Marina di Ravenna via a short ferry ride. The cruise terminal is modern and efficient, with shuttle services and taxis available to transport visitors into Ravenna’s historic core. Whether you're marveling at ancient mosaics, strolling through pine forests, or enjoying fresh seafood by the sea, Ravenna delivers a rich and varied experience in a single day.
