Uncover Ravenna, a magnificent historic city that served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire and is now home to an astounding collection of mosaics, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ravenna offers an atmosphere of profound historical significance that feels both serene and deeply moving. Unlike a bustling seaside town, its focus is on its incredible collection of early Christian monuments, which are scattered throughout the compact and walkable city centre. The city's atmosphere is that of a quiet cultural capital, a place where art and history are revered, providing a peaceful and enlightening experience for visitors.

Ravenna's cultural importance is immense and unlike any other city in Italy. It served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century and then the capital of the Ostrogothic kingdom, and later a Byzantine Exarchate. This unique period of history resulted in a collection of eight UNESCO World Heritage monuments, each containing some of the world's most impressive and well-preserved early Christian and Byzantine mosaics. The city also has a significant cultural connection to the poet Dante Alighieri, who spent his final years here, and his tomb is a place of pilgrimage for many.

The local cuisine in Ravenna is a delicious representation of the Emilia-Romagna region, with a strong emphasis on fresh pasta and rich flavours. This is the land of 'piadina', a thin flatbread that is a local staple, often filled with cured meats and soft cheeses like 'squacquerone'. Other regional specialities include fresh egg pasta dishes, such as 'cappelletti' (small filled pasta), often served in broth, and a variety of delicious cured meats and cheeses. The food here is hearty, traditional, and a genuine delight for the senses.

A visit to Ravenna offers an unparalleled opportunity to step back in time and witness masterpieces of ancient art. The city's compact size and walkable streets make it easy for cruise passengers to explore its magnificent UNESCO sites, providing a day filled with incredible beauty and a deep appreciation for its role as a pivotal centre of art and power in ancient Europe.

Visit Civitavecchia, the ancient 'Port of Rome', where you can discover centuries of history while preparing to journey to the Eternal City.

Civitavecchia, often referred to as the 'Port of Rome', offers a unique atmosphere that blends its own rich maritime heritage with its role as the gateway to one of the world's most famous cities. While many visitors use it as a transit point, the port city itself has a bustling and authentic feel, providing a glimpse into everyday Italian life away from the major tourist crowds. It has a functional and historic port, with a waterfront promenade perfect for a relaxed stroll.

The city's cultural significance dates back to ancient times, as it was founded by the Roman Emperor Trajan as 'Centumcellae' in the 2nd century AD. Its history is deeply intertwined with the Roman Empire and the Papal States, which is evident in the many historical structures still standing today. The imposing Forte Michelangelo, with a tower reportedly designed by the great artist himself, stands as a testament to its long and storied past as a crucial sea gateway to the capital.

The local cuisine in Civitavecchia is a celebration of the sea, reflecting its status as a working port. Freshly caught seafood is the star of the show, with traditional dishes such as 'Spaghetti alle Vongole Veraci' (spaghetti with clams) and 'Fritto Misto di Mare' (mixed fried seafood) being local favourites. You can also find a unique local speciality called 'Civitavecchia Style Octopus', a slow-cooked dish that highlights the freshness of the ingredients.

For cruise travellers, Civitavecchia's primary appeal is its exceptional access to Rome, with efficient train and transfer services making it easy to visit the Colosseum and Vatican City for a day. However, staying in Civitavecchia offers the chance to experience a different side of Italy, exploring its own historical sites, enjoying a more relaxed pace, and savouring the authentic maritime culture and cuisine.
