Rome is a city where ancient ruins meet modern life. Before your cruise, wander cobbled streets, relax in sunlit piazzas, or enjoy a taste of Italy’s rich culture. Cruises depart from Civitavecchia, a coastal town with a charming seaside promenade and historic fort that hint at centuries of maritime tradition.

Things to Do in Rome
The Colosseum
Rome’s iconic Colosseum was built in 72 C.E. by Emperor Vespasian. Its grand spectacles rivaled today’s blockbuster shows. Beneath the stone arena lies the Hypogeum, a complex of tunnels and lifts once used to move animals, gladiators, and slaves into the amphitheater for unforgettable performances.
