Journey Overview
Boarding a cruise from Ravenna? A pre-booked car from Bologna City Centre to Ravenna Cruise Port keeps embarkation day simple: an on-time pickup, a direct road transfer of ~72–82 min (~76 km), and luggage handled throughout.
The route runs via the A14 Adriatica motorway between Bologna and Ravenna, a straightforward road transfer with no train changes or shared-shuttle waiting. Every journey includes an on-time pickup, luggage assistance, a professional English-speaking driver and a fixed, all-inclusive fare.
Beyond Bologna's outer ring road, the route joins the A14 Adriatica motorway branch running east through the flat Emilia-Romagna countryside to the Adriatic coast. Most of the 72–82 min journey is spent on the motorway, with the final few minutes threading through Ravenna towards the port.

Cruise embarkation has a hard deadline — miss the boarding window and the ship leaves without you. A pre-booked car from Bologna City Centre removes that risk with a guaranteed pickup, a driver who knows the fastest route to Ravenna, and a fixed price agreed before you travel.

About Bologna City Centre
Bologna's historic centre radiates from Piazza Maggiore and the Basilica di San Petronio, wrapped in Europe's largest network of covered porticoes and watched over by the leaning Due Torri. A private transfer collects you directly from your address inside the centro storico, avoiding the city's ZTL restrictions that limit ordinary cars, for the drive to Ravenna's cruise port.
A porticoed university city built around Piazza Maggiore, the Quadrilatero food market and the Two Towers. It is especially well suited to cruise passengers spending pre- or post-cruise nights in central Bologna.
About Ravenna Cruise Port
Ravenna's cruise terminal lies along the Candiano Canal at the Porto di Ravenna, a working port a few kilometres from the historic centre and its UNESCO-listed Byzantine mosaics. Road transfers reach the terminal directly, so cruise passengers can be dropped close to their ship with luggage assistance, without the walk or shuttle connections some Italian ports require.
Many travellers combine the transfer with a visit to Ravenna's historic centre — home to Basilica di San Vitale and Mausoleo di Galla Placidia — either before boarding or on a stopover. Ask your driver about timing this if your embarkation window allows it.
