Shore Excursion

Roman Food Tour

From production — Rome

Duration: Half day to full dayPace: ModerateBest for: Cruise passengers planning time ashore

Taste Rome on a food tour from Civitavecchia — trattoria tastings, market visits and gelato timed for your ship.

Carbonara, supplì and gelato — Rome through its flavours on a port day.

When you have eaten your way through the icons elsewhere, this tour centres Trastevere and Campo de' Fiori tastings with English-speaking food guides who know cruise deadlines.

Multiple small plates across trattorias replace a formal lunch — come hungry and skip ship buffet beforehand.

Wine and gelato tastings included on most routes — flag dietary restrictions at booking.

Less walking than Forum tours but cobbled lanes still require sensible shoes.

Allow 75–80 minutes each way from Civitavecchia cruise terminal. Book morning timed entries where required and confirm your ship's all-aboard time before leaving port. Reputable operators maintain 60–90 minute return buffers.

Civitavecchia berthing and meeting points vary by ship and call. Confirm the meeting point on your voucher and allow a sensible return buffer to the ship — Rome is about 70 km inland.
