Shore Excursion
Rome Highlights Tour
From production — Rome
See Trevi, Pantheon, Colosseum exterior and more on a Civitavecchia highlights tour built for first-time visitors.
The essential Rome icons in one balanced day — best for first-time Civitavecchia callers.
Rome Highlights balances the city's postcard sights without requiring two major timed tickets — ideal when you want breadth and photos with reliable return timing.
Typical routing includes Colosseum exterior and Forum overview, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona and a drive past St Peter's or Castel Sant'Angelo depending on traffic.
One interior timed entry may be included (often Colosseum OR quick Pantheon queue) — confirm package details.
This is our best-first-time option when you cannot decide between Vatican and ancient Rome — you sample both eras externally.
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.
