Cruise in Rome: plan your tailor-made stay in the Eternal City
Rome is much more than just a port of embarkation. Before or after your cruise, the Italian capital presents itself to you as a destination in its own right, rich in 3,000 years of history, art and gastronomy.
Why choose Rome as a starting point for a Mediterranean cruise?
Embarking on a Mediterranean cruise from Rome means starting your journey with a stopover of choice.
The port of Civitavecchia, located about 80 kilometers northwest of the Italian capital, is one of the most frequented maritime hubs
in Europe. Each year, millions of travelers transit there to reach destinations such as Greece,
Turkey, Spain or France.
From the port, getting to the center of Rome takes about 1h15 by train, with regular connections to Roma Termini station.
It's a rare opportunity to combine two experiences into one: the richness of a cruise at Civitavecchia and total immersion
in one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Plan a few days on site before a departure from Rome or on arrival of a cruise,
it's giving yourself the time to really feel the Eternal City rather than rush through it.
The Mediterranean offers varied itineraries from Civitavecchia, depending on the duration and season chosen. Some circuits last
5 to 7 days and allow touching several countries, others extend over two weeks for a deeper exploration of the coasts
and the islands. In all cases, Rome constitutes an ideal anchor point to start or end this type of trip.
