Civitavecchia Cruises

Civitavecchia - which means “Ancient Town” - is located 70 km away from Rome. With charming towns surrounding the port, there are a number of notable sites to be explored in Civitavecchia – and neighbouring Rome. Civitavecchia has its fair share of tourist attractions, such as ‘Forte Michelangelo' which is an iconic building appointed by Julius II to defend Rome. Just an hour away, you'll find Rome. The ultimate holiday destination, Rome is crammed full of history, with layer upon layer of remarkable ruins, early Christian churches, medieval bell towers and Renaissance palaces.

The markets in central Rome are the perfect place to purchase souvenirs, crafts and keepsakes. For the most exquisite jewellery, check out ‘Piazza San Silvestro'. Boutique stores such as Prada, Fendi and Gucci can be found at ‘Piazza di Spagna'.

The local currency is the Euro. Civitavecchia is 1 hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+1).
