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.

Discover Bar, a city on the Montenegrin coast where a modern port meets a medieval fortress and the oldest olive tree in the world.

Bar offers a unique atmosphere that contrasts its modern urban port with its ancient, ruined town. The new city of Bar is a lively, contemporary hub with a long, palm-lined promenade and a bustling marina. Just a few kilometres inland, you will find Stari Bar (Old Bar), a mesmerising ghost town perched on a hill, which offers a powerful glimpse into the past. This blend of new and old creates a fascinating and diverse atmosphere that appeals to history buffs and those seeking a relaxing coastal experience.

The cultural significance of Bar is immense and multifaceted. Its history dates back to Roman times, but its most famous chapter is as a medieval fortress and a strategic port on the Adriatic Sea, which was coveted by empires for centuries. The town has a unique religious and cultural blend, with both Catholic and Orthodox churches and the remains of a mosque side by side, reflecting its history as a crossroads of cultures. It is also home to the oldest olive tree in the world, a symbol of longevity and peace for the region.

Montenegrin cuisine in Bar is a delicious mix of Mediterranean and Balkan flavours. Given its location, fresh seafood is a staple, with local specialities often including grilled fish and seafood risotto. Other local dishes include 'Njeguški pršut' (smoked ham) and a variety of local cheeses. The town's surrounding area is famous for its olive groves, so it's no surprise that locally produced olive oil is a key part of the culinary scene.

Bar is an excellent cruise port due to its convenient location. The port is situated right at the edge of the modern town, allowing for easy access to the city's amenities and promenade. From here, a short taxi ride can take you to the historic site of Stari Bar, the ancient olive tree, or the surrounding natural beauty of Lake Skadar, making it a perfect starting point for a day of historical and natural exploration.
