Cruises from Civitavecchia, Italy
Read Port Guide
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.

The city's feel is defined by its bustling port, its lively historic quarter, and its beautiful location on the Ria de Vigo. The ambience is energetic and unpretentious, with a strong sense of local culture and working-class roots. It feels like a genuine city rather than a tourist resort, offering a unique and authentic experience for visitors seeking a taste of real Galician life.
The cultural significance of Vigo is immense, shaped by its history as the most important fishing port in Europe. The city has long been a key hub for trade and industry, with its fortunes tied to the sea. The city's history is visible in its beautiful historic quarter, with its narrow streets and traditional architecture. Its strong connection to the sea is reflected in its famous seafood cuisine and its proximity to the beautiful Cíes Islands, which are a part of the city's natural heritage.
When it comes to local cuisine, Vigo provides a delicious introduction to the flavours of Galicia. The food scene is a testament to its coastal location, with a strong emphasis on fresh seafood. A must-try dish is 'pulpo á feira' (Galician-style octopus), which is a local speciality. You can also savour local white wines, such as Albariño, and a variety of delicious 'tapas' in the old town's many restaurants and bars. The food is a perfect reflection of the city's unique identity.
A visit to Vigo on a cruise is exceptional, as its port is located right in the heart of the city's main attractions. The proximity of the port to the historic quarter provides a perfect example of what makes this a great destination. You can disembark from the ship and take a short walk to the famous 'Oyster Street', a vibrant alleyway where you can enjoy fresh seafood, making for an effortless and memorable introduction to the city's culinary scene.
