The cruise - Civitavecchia

The cruise started in port of Civitavecchia that is also known as „Port of Rome”. Civitavecchia is located around 60 kilometers far from Rome, but it belongs to the province of Rome in Lazio. The name Civitavecchia means ancient town.

If you arrive to Civitavecchia with a train from Rome(this is how I arrived there) the first thing you see when you leave the train station is the beautiful Tyrrhenian sea and then a little bit further the harbour and The Michelangelo’s fort. In the harbour of Civitavecchia there are the cruise ship docks. Many cruise lines start andend their cruises there. With only one hour trip by train it is easy to visit Rome during cruise.
