Is there anyone still here? I haven't seen a message in a long time.

Just in case there's someone here who can help me, let me ask a question
or two:

My wife and will be finishing a cruise and arriving at the Stazione
Maritima of San Basilio in Venice. We will then be staying in Venice for
a week, and we will need to take a vaporetto to our hotel.

I believe we can board the vaporetto and buy tickets from its conductor
for that ride (is that correct?).

But that's not what we want to do. Unless we have no other choice, we
would like to buy seven-day passes. Can we buy them from the conductor
when we board? Or is there someplace near the Stazione Maritima of San
Basilio where we can buy them before boarding a vaporetto?

Or it possible to buy them online before we depart for Italy?


According to ACTV web site: Seven day ticket 60 EUR.

resellers and from ticket machines available at the following waterbus
stops: Piazzale Roma S.Chiara, Piazzale Roma Parisi, Ferrovia/railway
station Scalzi, Ferrovia/railway station S.Lucia, S.Marcuola, Ca' d'Oro,

Yeah last time I went to Venice, probably about 6-7 years ago, I
returned the car at Piazzale Roma and right around where we board, there
were vending machines which take credit cards.

I believe it was outside, didn't have to go in and there weren't any
queues. Maybe it would be different if a big cruise ship arrives.

Going back in July, arriving by train so I imagine I'll have to research
this soon.
