VENEZIA TERMINAL PASSEGGERI (VTP): VENICE CRUISE PORT AWARDED AS “2016 BEST TURNAROUND DESTINATION” FOR ITS OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE BY CRUISE INSIGHTS


Venezia Terminal Passeggeri announces that Cruise Insights, one of the leading publications in the cruise sector, has named the cruise port of Venice as the “Best Turnaround Destination” of 2016.

This is an international recognition, which is usually conferred to those destinations offering a superior service to passengers.

This is the fourth time that the Port of Venice receives this accolade in this specific category (previous awards in 2012, 2013 and 2014), thus confirming the attractiveness of Venice combined with VTP’s management of the port and the high level technological solutions implemented during the years.

In the past, the cruise port of Venice received the following awards: “Best Destination Experience – Independent Sightseeing 2011”; “Best Turnaround Port of the Mediterranean 2015”.

Sandro Trevisanato, VTP President, commented “We are particularly proud of this prestigious recognition. Thanks to the almost 70 million Euros investments put in place from 1997 to 2016, we have improved the efficiency of the facilities, thus reducing the environmental impact of the port operations and, at the same time, enhancing both the comfort and the safety of the passengers.  I would like to thank the Port Authority, the cruise lines, our staff and everybody working in the Venetian cruise industry: without them the Port would not have achieved these excellent results”.
