Rome Cruise

A romantic honeymoon destination, a lone traveler’s dream vacation, the ultimate stop for jetsetters – these are the first things that come to mind when you mention the place Rome.

Italy’s capital city is a living, breathing museum and Rome itself is known as a place where you can live the good life or “La dolce vita”. No matter which part of Rome it is that fascinates you the most – there are quite a few options that you have in touring the “Eternal City”.

First, if Rome is part of your main itinerary, you can go on an extensive bus tour wherein visiting the prime tourist spots is part of the trip. Here, you will get to see the ancient city of Rome in all its glory because there are open-top buses available.

Second, you can go on ‘walking tours’ of Rome. It’s actually quite a small city – so it’s easy for you to explore the sights on foot. For example, you can go on a route form the Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica to the Via del Corso for some taste of authentic Italian fashion.

Finally, you can go on a Rome cruise where you can explore the area as well as its neighboring cities and countries.

Rome Cruise to the Port of Civitavecchia

No matter which part of the world it is that you are from, you can easily book for a Rome cruise with a simple click of the mouse.

Now, those who are travelers-at-heart can book for a Rome cruise which starts at the Port of Civitavecchia, also known as the gateway to the Eternal City.

This is where all roads lead to, and it can be your starting point in seeing the St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, the Spanish Steps, Via Veneto, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain.

Remember that the Port of Civitavecchia is located west of Rome, and you would need to travel to go the center of the city. There are local trains that you can take, or you can catch a shuttle to the central of the port and walk four blocks to the train station.

If you don’t have time to get to the main city, you can go to a four-hour independent walking tour of Rome. Rome is usually just a pre-cruise or post-cruise extension since it is not located on the Mediterranean Sea, but on the Tiber River.

It may not be that easy to get to Rome via cruise ship – but the sights are definitely well worth it.

After tasting a bit of what Rome has to offer, you can sail from the city to other places like:
- Venice
- The Holy Land
- Sicily
- The Italian River
- Nice
- The Mediterranean
- The Greek Isles
- Corfu & Croatian Isles

Whether you’re coming to or from Rome, booking for a cruise is one of the most luxurious ways to soak in all the sights that the Eternal City and its neighboring countries have to offer!
