Where Do Cruises from Civitavecchia Go?
Rome sits in the middle of the Mediterranean, so lines send ships both ways from it:
| Route | Main cruise lines from Rome | Typical length | Example ports |
|---|---|---|---|
| Western Mediterranean | MSC, Royal Caribbean (Legend of the Seas), Norwegian | 7 nights | Marseille, Genoa, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, La Spezia |
| Greek Isles and Turkey | Royal Caribbean (Odyssey of the Seas), Princess, Carnival | 7-14 nights | Santorini, Mykonos, Ephesus, Chania, Athens |
| Adriatic | Celebrity, Princess, Norwegian, Cunard | 7-21 nights | Dubrovnik, Split, Kotor, Corfu, Venice (Ravenna) |
Round trips also vary: 166 of MSC's 187 Civitavecchia sailings and 49 of Royal Caribbean's 61 return to Rome, compared with 26 of Princess's 51, 18 of Celebrity's 35 and none of Norwegian's 31. The most common one-way end ports are Barcelona, Athens (Piraeus) and Venice (Ravenna).

How to Choose a Rome Cruise Line
Each line's 2027 Civitavecchia program has a distinct shape, based on CabinSaver's itinerary tracking:
- MSC Cruises has the most dates and the only winter sailings.
- Royal Caribbean offers a 7-night round trip either east to the Greek Isles on Odyssey of the Seas or west on Legend of the Seas.
- Princess Cruises goes deepest into Greece and Turkey, with long combinations.
- Celebrity Cruises suits a 9- to 11-night Adriatic voyage to Dubrovnik and Split.
- Norwegian Cruise Line suits a one-way week from Rome to Barcelona or Venice.
- Carnival Cruise Line had the lowest typical solo range on its few 10-night Greek Isles sailings.
Planning Tips
- Plan the transfer from Rome. Civitavecchia is typically about 1 to 1.5 hours from central Rome or Fiumicino Airport by car, depending on traffic, and regional trains also run from Rome. Allow extra time on embarkation day.
- Stay a night in Rome. Flying in the day before gives time for Rome itself and a buffer for flight delays. Verify embarkation times with your cruise line.
- Book one-way flights early. Norwegian sells only one-way sailings from Rome, and Princess and Celebrity sell many, so you may need a flight home from Barcelona, Athens or Venice.
- Check documentation. A valid passport book is typically required for cruises from Italy, and itineraries that call in Turkey may need additional entry authorization. Requirements vary by citizenship, so always verify with your cruise line and official government sources before your trip.
- Watch specific sailings. Typical ranges vary widely between lines and ships, so deal alerts on the dates you want are more useful than choosing a line on price alone.
