Tivoli Portopiccolo is eighteenth because our scoring measures the ship, and this resort sits nearer the airport. Tivoli puts Trieste Airport 17 km and 21 minutes away; our routing puts the Stazione Marittima about 11.5 road miles off, roughly 26 minutes with no traffic.
What it offers is a resort night — Ocyan for dinner, the Azur Lounge Bar, two spa areas and, in season, four pools at the beach club. Portopiccolo is car-free; parking is €20 (about US$20) a night.
The pages we read don't describe breakfast. Your tourist tax here goes to Duino Aurisina, which we didn't research.
Book it if you land at Trieste Airport the day before and want the pools, and book the taxi to the ship for early morning.
