Did you know? Civitavecchia Port

Civitavecchia is Italy's second-busiest cruise port after Venice, welcoming over 2 million passengers annually.

The port's name means 'Old City' in Italian, derived from its role as Rome's primary maritime gateway since ancient Roman times.

Civitavecchia's Forte Michelangelo fortress was designed by the Renaissance master himself in the 16th century and still dominates the waterfront today.

The port sits just 80 kilometres northwest of Rome, making it one of Europe's most convenient cruise embarkation points for accessing a major capital city.

Civitavecchia's natural hot springs and thermal baths have been valued for their healing properties since Roman times and remain popular with visitors today.

The Medieval Old Town features narrow cobblestone streets and baroque architecture largely unchanged for centuries, offering authentic Italian charm steps from the cruise terminals.
