Civitavecchia Guide 2026
Civitavecchia is a port town on the Tyrrhenian Sea in west-central Italy, known as the port of Rome. Large passenger ships sail from here, and MBD's Western Mediterranean cruises start and end in Civitavecchia.
What happens in Civitavecchia
- Boarding the ship: on MBD's Western Mediterranean cruises, guests travel through Rome to the port and board.
- The Rome link: the programmes include "boarding via Rome" and "return via Rome" days.
- The route: on one sample MSC Seaview sailing, the ship calls at Palermo, Ibiza, Barcelona, Marseille and Genoa.
- Sardinia sailings: Costa Toscana cruises of the Western Mediterranean and Sardinia also leave from this port.
When to go
The sailings listed on MBD run from August to October. In those months the average high falls from 28 degrees in August to 21 in October. Rain rises from September on, with 83 millimetres in October and 132 in November.
Getting there from Turkey
The cruises run 7 nights and leave from Istanbul, flying to Rome with Pegasus or Turkish Airlines. They are Turkish-guided and sail on MSC Grandiosa, MSC Seaview and Costa Toscana. Dates and prices are on the tour page.
Who it suits
Travellers who want to unpack once and see several countries, and those looking for a Turkish-guided sea holiday. Civitavecchia itself is a port, not a resort, so you do not need to stay long in the town.
