Starting 19 April 2025, daily visitors entering Venice between 8:30 and 16:00 are required to pay an access fee before arriving. This fee amounts to €5 if paid at least four days prior to your arrival in Venice, or €10 if paid three days or less before your visit.

Please note that:

· Guests booked on MSC shore excursions in Venice do not need to pay this fee directly, as it is included in the price of the tour.

· Minors under 14 years of age
