Italy Venice from the sea

Majestic silhouette of Venice city as you approach via the sea

Ships and ferries arriving into Venice benefit from a spectacular view of the city, from a distance. If arriving or departing from a cruise ship, you can investigate arrival and departure times to work out whether you arrive at sunrise or sunset. My particular photo was taken right at sunset. The cruise ship departed Venice approximately one hour before. The ships have to travel slowly through the Venetian lagoon until they are properly at sea.
