Leave the port of Civitavecchia for a 90-minute motorcoach ride to discover the Eternal City.
You'll take a panoramic drive past the Pyramid of Caius Cestius, Circus Maximus (the famous chariot-racing arena, the fascinating and stylish Via Veneto, the Borghese Gardens, and the Aurelian Walls -- the most ancient of the Romans' anti-Barbarian defenses.
Crossing into the Vatican, you'll drive by St Peter's Square and St'Angelo Fortress -- the ancient Adrian Mausoleum.
Finally, stop by People's Square with its imposing obelisk and the "twin" churches, and enjoy about one hour of free time for independent sightseeing, purchasing a snack or shopping at your leisure before returning to the ship.
