Hotel Diana ranks third, the best of the old-town hotels for a cruise morning. Its own site has a page for cruise passengers that sends you to Visit Ravenna's transfer, private or shared, and breakfast comes with the room.
The hotel doesn't drive you. You book Visit Ravenna yourself, from €20 (about US$20) a person with one bag from Ravenna, per the operator, and the run takes about 30 minutes.
Our routing gives about 8.1 road miles (13.1 km) to the terminal, roughly 18 minutes on empty roads. The hotel's page calls it a few minutes from the city; budget the longer figure.
Driving in? Its pages disagree on the garage next door, €10 (about US$11) a night on the home page and €12 (about US$13) a day on the parking page. Ask which applies, and whether it keeps a car for a week.
Book it if
- You want the old town and a cruise page that points to a ride
- Breakfast included matters to you
- You're driving and want a garage next door
Look elsewhere if
- You want a ride the hotel runs itself.
- You want dinner downstairs.
- You'd rather wake up minutes from the ship.

Porto Corsini, north bankShips board at the Porto Corsini terminal on the north bank of the Canale Candiano, about 8.1 road miles from Hotel Diana by our routing. A new terminal was due for 2026 and is running late, so expect the temporary check-in tent unless your documents say otherwise. More in the Ravenna cruise guide.
