My wife and I are flying into Venice in September. We are staying at the J W Marriott located on Sacca Sessola. We will leave Venice on a Viking cruise. Looking for recommendations for how to get to the hotel and to the cruise terminal. I now recognize the hotels location is a bit farther from Venice proper, but reservations are made. Will also need transportation into and out of Venice.

Since it is a 5 star resort. why not spring for a private water taxi. About 170 EUR.
You don't say what cruise terminal your Viking is leaving from. There are several, depending on what type of ship it is.

agree with sam, private water taxi from VCE.
motoscafivenezia.it
you can reserve ahead of time or book in airport when you land. walk down to dock to get on.
more info about which cruise terminal port you will depart from, not venice proper (chioggia, marghera, ravenna) ask the marriott what they suggest or does viking have transportation offered.
there will be other cruisers wanting the same thing you want, pulling/pushing luggage over bridges/steps/stairs, cobblestones and how far. your decision with less stress involved

I have been told that Viking uses the cruise terminal at Fusina.

Given that the vaporetto dont stop at that island, your most efficient transport from the airport to the resort, and from the resort to the cruise terminal at Fusina will be a water taxi. No need to book in advance for the airport- just walk to the dock. Ask your hotel to book the water taxi to Fusina.
