Rome (Civitavecchia) Cruise Reviews

Rome is amazing! We stayed 3 days after the cruise. We booked private transport from the pier to our AirBNB. They picked us up right outside the pier so we didn’t have to deal with our luggage on the train. We toured the Vatican museums with Sistine Chapel (waaaay too crowded!), Colosseum Underground after dark (so amazing!!!), Trevi Fountain (great people watching!), Pantheon (you need ...

In Rome we hired an amazing guide. Giovanni Musella www.giovannimusella.com. Gianni, as he is known asked what we were interested in seeing and then tailored an itinerary to our exact wishes. This was done well in advance of the trip. His English was very good and he took us to places that we had never even read about. In addition of course to all of the places we had requested. At the last second ...

We were met at the airport by an Oceania representative and after a wait for other passengers, we took a bus to the Grand Hotel Park Del Principe. It is a beautiful place, richly furnished in old world style. In the vestibule there was an Oceania desk with cruise representatives available to answer any questions and provide information regarding transfer to the port the next day. There is a ...

Hop off port. ...

We began our cruise in Rome, and we stayed in Rome three nights before our cruise. It's impossible to summarize how fantastic Rome is; you have to go. We did an excellent golf-cart tour booked with Angel Tours, through Viator, and Giovanni, our tour guide, was excellent. This tour introduced us to the highlights of Rome, including the Trevi Fountain and Villa Borghese park. We booked tours of ...

The drive to Rome and St Peters in Vatican City was lovely. Our tour guide for St Peter’s was extremely knowledgeable and I can’t imagine going through St Peter’s without an explanation of everything we saw! The line to get into St. Peter’s was quite long but moved quickly. I would say that paying money for “Skip the Line” tickets is not necessary. ...

I have been to Rome before so I was really looking forward to seeing the surrounding area of Civitavecchia like the Etruscan sites, but these tours were cancelled. We toured Rome again and it was just soooooo crowded. The city is beautiful and a must see for anyone at least once. ...

An exceptional day with a small group of 7 passengers and a personal tour guide. ...

Enjoyed all the ports. ...

We stayed in Rome post-cruise and had enough time to visit things we missed seeing 10 years earlier. Civitavecchia probably deserves some time to visit as well, but we had no time to see the old fort or other things even in the area near the port. We did our own ho-ho in Rome for the 3 days we were there. I would not suggest this for a shore excursion if you are coming to Rome for a port call ...
