Private Rome Highlights and Vatican Tour from Civitavecchia Port
Make the most of your day in Rome with a private excursion from Civitavecchia Port. Your English-speaking driver meets you directly at your cruise ship and follows an itinerary agreed around your interests and cruise schedule.
Rome’s monuments and squares
Discuss stops at Piazza Venezia, the Capitoline Hill, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum area and Circus Maximus. The Pantheon, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain can be included according to the time available. Photo stops and visits inside attractions require different schedules.
Your Vatican visit
Tell us whether you would like to visit St Peter’s Square, the basilica or the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Entry arrangements, queues and opening times affect the programme, so these visits must be planned before the day of service. Please bring suitable clothing for religious sites.
Vatican Museums tickets must be arranged separately through the official Vatican Museums website unless a different arrangement is confirmed in your quote. Discuss ticket times with us before buying. A full museum visit reduces the time available for other stops in Rome.
A return planned around your ship
Send your date, ship name, passenger count and preferred visits to request availability and a quote. Tickets, meals and any licensed guiding services are specified in the quote; your driver manages the transport. Pickup and return times are agreed around your cruise. Payment is made to the driver on the day of service, in cash or by card.
Prefer a day focused on Rome’s landmarks?
Compare our Rome Major Attractions shore excursion from Civitavecchia if your priority is the Colosseum area, historic squares and panoramic stops rather than a Vatican Museums visit.
