Introduction

Rome (Civitavecchia) is a starting line, not a loop. None of Norwegian's 2027 departures return to Rome, so each sailing is a one-way trip across the Mediterranean that ends in a different country from where it began. That suits travelers who want to spend time in Rome before boarding and then fly home from Spain, Venice, Turkey, Portugal or England. Salerno appears on 29 of the 30 itineraries and Catania on 25, so most sailings pair the Amalfi Coast gateway with Sicily before heading west or east.

2027 Season at a Glance

Norwegian's 2027 Civitavecchia season opens with two longer sailings to Barcelona in late April: a 9-day Norwegian Prima voyage on April 28 and a 10-day Norwegian Dawn voyage on April 29. From May 2 through August 22, two ships trade Sunday departures week by week. Norwegian Sun sails to Venice (Ravenna) one Sunday and Norwegian Epic sails to Barcelona the next, giving a Sunday departure from Rome every week of the core summer.

After Norwegian Sun's final Rome departure on August 22, Norwegian Epic carries on alone with fortnightly Sunday sailings through October 24. Norwegian Viva adds Greek Isles voyages to Istanbul in July and late August and closes out the longer sailings with a 9-day trip to Lisbon on October 23. Norwegian Prima's May 27 departure is the season's only sailing that ends in London (Southampton).

Why Start a One-Way Cruise in Rome (Civitavecchia)?

Starting in Rome lets you build a pre-cruise stay around the Colosseum, Vatican City and the Trevi Fountain, then leave the city behind by sea instead of doubling back. Civitavecchia sits on the Tyrrhenian coast approximately 45 miles (about 80 km) northwest of central Rome, so most travelers plan a transfer from the city or from Rome's airports on embarkation day. Confirm transfer options and timing with Norwegian Cruise Line.

Because none of Norwegian's 2027 Civitavecchia departures are round-trip, the real choice is where you want to finish. Half of the sailings (15) end in Barcelona after calls in Provence and Florence/Pisa, while 10 end in Venice (Ravenna) after Montenegro, Croatia and Corfu. The remaining five continue to Istanbul, Lisbon or London (Southampton). Booking an open-jaw flight, into Rome and home from your final port, is what makes these itineraries work.

Destination Breakdown

Here is how Norwegian Cruise Line's 30 2027 departures from Rome (Civitavecchia) compare by where they end, with inside stateroom fares for solo travelers at single occupancy as of September 2026 (subject to change). Each sailing appears in one row only:

Western Mediterranean (Rome to Barcelona)

Norwegian Epic runs all 13 of its 2027 Rome departures as 7-day sailings to Barcelona, every one calling at Salerno, Catania, Florence/Pisa (Livorno) and Provence (Marseille). The fourth stop varies: Nice/Monaco (Villefranche) on eight sailings, Ibiza on four and Palma (Majorca) on the May 9 departure. Two longer April sailings also end in Barcelona. Norwegian Prima's 9-day April 28 voyage adds Palermo, Cagliari (Sardinia), Palma and Ibiza, and Norwegian Dawn's 10-day April 29 voyage is the only 2027 Rome departure that calls at La Goulette (Tunisia), along with Valletta (Malta) and Messina.

Adriatic and Greece (Rome to Venice/Ravenna)

Norwegian Sun sails nine 7-day itineraries from Civitavecchia to Venice (Ravenna) between May 2 and August 22. Every one calls at Kotor (Montenegro), Koper (Slovenia), Corfu (Greece), Salerno and Catania. Seven add Split (Croatia), while the May 30 sailing swaps in Zadar and the August 22 sailing swaps in Dubrovnik. Norwegian's schedule also lists a 13-day Norwegian Prima sailing on May 4 ending in Venice (Ravenna), with calls including Palma, Barcelona, Dubrovnik, Bar (Montenegro) and Corfu. NCL titles that itinerary as Barcelona to Venice, so confirm your boarding port with Norwegian Cruise Line before booking.

Greek Isles (Rome to Istanbul)

Norwegian Viva offers three Greek Isles voyages from Rome to Istanbul, each calling at Santorini, Athens (Piraeus) and Kusadasi (Turkey). The 9-day sailings on July 2 and August 27 also stop in Valletta (Malta), while an 8-day sailing listed for August 28 skips Malta. Both late-August listings end in Istanbul on September 5, so check with Norwegian Cruise Line which option is available when you book. The Greek Isles voyages price above the typical Rome range, with inside fares on the three sailings running approximately $426-467 per night for solo travelers (as of September 2026, subject to change).

Western Europe (Rome to Lisbon or London)

Two Norwegian sailings leave the Mediterranean behind. Norwegian Prima's 10-day May 27 voyage ends in London (Southampton) after Barcelona, Seville (Cadiz) and La Coruña, and Norwegian Viva's 9-day October 23 voyage ends in Lisbon after Nice/Monaco (Villefranche), Ibiza, Alicante, Motril and Seville (Cadiz).

Epic or Sun? Choosing a 7-Day Sailing from Rome

Of Norwegian's 30 Rome departures in 2027, 22 are 7-day sailings on Norwegian Epic or Norwegian Sun, and the two ships price very differently depending on cabin type. Based on CabinSaver's own fare tracking as of September 2026, for solo travelers at single occupancy (subject to change):

• Inside staterooms - Nearly identical: approximately $303-317 per night on Norwegian Epic's 13 sailings and approximately $299-318 per night on Norwegian Sun's 9 sailings (as of September 2026, subject to change).
• Studio staterooms - Approximately $187-197 per night on Norwegian Epic (as of September 2026, subject to change), well below Epic's inside fares. CabinSaver's data shows no Studio fares for Norwegian Sun's Rome sailings.
• Balcony staterooms - Approximately $384-422 per night on Norwegian Epic versus approximately $513-580 per night on Norwegian Sun (as of September 2026, subject to change).

In practice, the choice comes down to route as much as fare. Norwegian Epic heads west to Provence and Barcelona, and Norwegian Sun heads east into the Adriatic toward Montenegro, Croatia and Venice (Ravenna). Solo travelers who want the lowest per-night option on these sailings will generally find it in a Studio on Norwegian Epic.

Planning Tips

• Book your flights open-jaw - Every Norwegian departure from Rome in 2027 ends somewhere else, so price flights into Rome and home from Barcelona, Venice, Istanbul, Lisbon or London rather than a round-trip ticket.
• Build in time for Rome before you sail - Civitavecchia sits approximately 45 miles (about 80 km) from central Rome, so consider arriving a day or two early to reduce same-day travel stress. Confirm transfer options with your cruise line.
• Aim to reach the terminal with a comfortable buffer - Most cruise lines recommend arriving at the port well before departure, though requirements vary. Check with your cruise line for their specific boarding and arrival-time guidance.
• Plan for Venice (Ravenna) disembarkation - Norwegian Sun's sailings finish in Ravenna, which is typically a road transfer of a few hours from Venice itself. Verify disembarkation logistics with Norwegian Cruise Line before booking onward travel.
• Verify travel documents early - A valid passport book is typically required for international cruises (passport cards are generally not sufficient). Itineraries that end in Istanbul or call in Tunisia or Montenegro may have additional entry requirements, so always verify current rules with your cruise line and official government sources before your trip.
• Plan shore time around Salerno and Catania - With Salerno on 29 of the 30 itineraries and Catania on 25, research Amalfi Coast and Mount Etna excursion timing in advance, and review tour durations before committing.

How to Find the Best Deals on Civitavecchia Cruises

Norwegian Cruise Line pricing fluctuates based on demand, booking time, and availability. Here's how to time your booking:

• Book early - Promotional fares are often available 12-18 months in advance, and Norwegian's 2027 Rome schedule is already bookable
• Monitor price drops - Fares change weekly; set up deal alerts to track your preferred sailings. As of September 2026, 27 of the 30 sailings were priced above the lowest inside fare CabinSaver has recorded for them
• Consider shoulder season - The late-April sailings and the September and October departures fall outside the June-August peak
• Compare cabin types, not just ships - On Norwegian Epic's 7-day sailings, Studio fares for solo travelers have run well below inside fares, while balcony fares on Norwegian Sun have run well above Epic's

Our deal finder shows real-time pricing across all 30 departures, helping you compare fares for your preferred dates and destinations.

From a week-long run to Barcelona or Venice to a Greek Isles voyage to Istanbul or a longer route to Lisbon or London, Rome's 2027 lineup gives one-way travelers a wide choice of finishing points.
