Cruise to Civitavecchia

Italy's vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city on earth evokes its past so powerfully. For over 2,500 years, emperors, popes, artists, and common citizens have left their mark here.

Archaeological remains from ancient Rome, art-stuffed churches, and the treasures of Vatican City vie for your attention, but Rome is also a wonderful place to practice the Italian-perfected il dolce far niente, the sweet art of idleness. Your most memorable experiences may include sitting at a caffè in the Campo de' Fiori or strolling in a beguiling piazza.

Why cruise Civitavecchia

When touring Italy, Rome is at the top of the bucket list. However, what if we told you that there's a place with the same captivating historical atmosphere, but is much less crowded and can be reached with far less hassle?

Welcome to Civitavecchia!

Latin for 'ancient town', Civitavecchia offers easy and practical day tours to explore the landscape. Having been built over a pre-existing Etruscan settlement, the city is largely unique in its mantra. Local food remains second to none, and there's enough culture ashore to sink a galley warship.

The bustling harbour was constructed under the rule of Emperor Trajan throughout the early stretches of the 2nd century and developed continuously throughout the ages to become today's celebrated ferry port. You won't regret heading out to explore.
