Explore Rome’s iconic sights on a full-day Civitavecchia shore excursion with port pickup, lunch, and options for Vatican tickets and a guide.

About this tour

See Rome’s celebrated landmarks on a full-day shore excursion from Civitavecchia, with port pickup and drop-off designed around your cruise schedule. Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver as you explore the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Venezia, Roman Forum, Colosseum, Arch of Constantine, and Circus Maximus.

Depending on the option selected, your day can also include skip-the-line tickets to the Pantheon and Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, entry to St. Peter’s Basilica, and a licensed guide. The Light Tour option includes the driver, vehicle, and lunch but no guide or entrance tickets. All options include lunch at a typical Roman restaurant. The route continues through Vatican City, where you can take in the museums, chapel, and basilica when open.

Civitavecchia Rome Shore Excursion offers a convenient way to connect the port with the city’s best-known sights. Vatican closures may mean a visit to an ancient catacomb instead, and Colosseum tickets are not included. Choose the option that suits your plans and spend your port day discovering Rome before returning to your ship.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 48% in Rome means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Rome by this score.
