Private Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia
Discover the Wonders of Rome in 8 Hours — Private Tour from Civitavecchia
A full day in the Eternal City, crafted exclusively for cruise passengers seeking history, art, and authentic Roman life.
This private Rome shore excursion from Civitavecchia offers cruise passengers a seamless, comfortable, and deeply rewarding journey through one of the world's most storied capitals. A dedicated driver meets you at the port and escorts you aboard a premium Mercedes vehicle directly to Rome's most iconic landmarks.
Over nine hours, you will move through centuries of civilization — from the ancient amphitheater of the Colosseum to the baroque splendor of Trevi Fountain and the spiritual grandeur of Vatican City. Each stop is chosen to give you a complete portrait of Rome without the stress of navigating public transport or arranging multiple transfers.
A midday break at a carefully selected local trattoria offers a genuine taste of Roman cuisine before the afternoon continues through the historic center. At the end of the day, your driver ensures you return to Civitavecchia comfortably ahead of your ship's departure.

Explore Vatican City and the interior of St. Peter's Basilica, the spiritual center of the Catholic world.
Relax in Piazza Navona, a lively baroque square adorned with Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers.
Travel in a private Mercedes vehicle with a professional dedicated driver throughout the entire day.
