Look here
for a map of Venice. You cruiseport will be at Stazione Marittima on the left hand side. Take the shuttle bus to Piazzale Roma. Than take the waterbus (vaporetto) Linea Uno (line 1) to see the Canal Grande (takes about one hour and the waterbus will bring you to Marcus place (Piazza San Marco).
This link
will show you the cruise terminal.
