Venice is one of Southern Europe's leading cruise ports, and many readers of this blog and our travel-planning site, Venice for Visitors, have booked cruises in or out of Venice.

If you're among the cruisers who'll  be visiting Venice this year or next, we recommend taking a look at our Venice cruise videos, which show 16 cruise ships cruising up the Giudecca Canal or in St. Msark's Basin on their way to the Adriatic and points beyond. To see the clips, which are hosted by YouTube, click:
