Hi
Can anyone tell me if you can use the shuttle boat, which drops you off at St Marks Square and which is provided by P&O, as many times as you like and how much does it cost?
Thanks for all replies

Hello Mrs B

We used the P&O shuttle service last year at a charge of £36 for a family ticket....so £12-15 for a single ticket sounds about right. I can't think that you wouldn't be able to use the service as many times as you please (can't think why you would want too) however, do bear in mind there is a bit of a walk between ship and shuttle.

I much preferred the P&O shuttle as the boats used to ferry passengers were much more spacious than the vaporetto's.... with some having open upper decks which were great for taking in the sights.

Keefy tip....take one of the last shuttles back and you might get a free coach ride back to the ship.
