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 ambience is relaxed and inviting, with a strong sense of local culture and a warm, welcoming feel. It feels like a genuine Caribbean city, with its colourful buildings and its lively streets that are a joy to explore.
The cultural significance of Basseterre and St. Kitts & Nevis is immense, shaped by its history as a British and French colonial port. Its most prominent landmark, Brimstone Hill Fortress, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is a testament to its long and complex past. The city's history is also visible in its many historic buildings and its role as the capital of the twin-island nation. Its culture is a unique blend of African, British, and Caribbean influences, which is reflected in its food, music, and traditions.
When it comes to local cuisine, Basseterre provides a delicious taste of Caribbean flavours. The food scene is a testament to its coastal location and the island's produce. A must-try dish is 'goat water', a hearty stew that is a national dish. You can also savour fresh seafood, such as grilled fish and lobster, and a variety of tropical fruits and local rum. The food is a perfect reflection of the island's unique heritage and its laid-back lifestyle.
A visit to Basseterre 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 Circus provides a perfect example of what makes this a great destination. You can disembark from the ship and take a short walk to this historic roundabout, which is a perfect place to begin your exploration of the city's charming streets and historic buildings.
