i am trying to find cruise trips that stops in venice but then after i want to drive my car in next location. if you know any cruise please tell me :) thanks
No - none. The olden passenger ships all took cars but very few modern cruise ships has a cargo hold large enough. So, you say, I am rich and I want to drive my own car, I like my car so much and I would like to drive it in Italy OK, at every port you would have to arrange for a crane to lift your car off and on again. Assume a minimum $ 1,000 charge for the crane. The car has to be cleared by customs in the first port and the appropriate fees paid. Since an imported car cannot be registered and insured unless a safety check is done, wait for a truck to pick up the car and drive it to a government test station. These are normally reserved one - three months in advance. Get your car certified. If that model and that engine/transmission combination don't have type designation AND EU safety approval AND EU pollution controls to start with, it goes right back on the ship. If it has sealed beam American type head lights, they will have to be replaced. Any red flashing light, like turning lights have to be modified to be yellow, to be allowed in Europe. Then, you can go to the licence bureau, prove that you have an EU driver's licence AND a permanent residence in the country of registration. Now pay for a year's registration and pick up your plates. With that in hand you call an insurance broker. They will verify your EU driver's record. If you have none, they will give you the same rate as a 16 year old kid. Very high. Enjoy your drive. Total cost and time. Many and many weeks. Suggestion. If you really want to drive in Italy, which very few sane people do, just rent a car. Cost? 100 / day. Time? Five minutes. Now, if you live in EU, you can certainly bring your car in the cargo hold of the cruise ship, if they have one. The cost, Very high, still.
nope. only cargo ships. hell you cannot even bring a bicycle on board a cruse ship to tool around the ports.
