Romantic Rome

Rome is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and one of the most visited. At least once in a lifetime everyone should experience the Eternal City and its masterpieces. That's probably why an Italian proverb says, "all the roads lead to Rome".

Depart the port of Civitavecchia for a comfortable journey to Rome to experience an unforgettable day of discovery. Your destination will be Monte Mario, at 456 feet high this is the highest hill in Rome and lies along the northwest side of the city. This hill is part nature reserve, part upmarket district and contains the Monte Mario Conservatory. It is also home to Lo Zodiaco, a small restaurant that has been faithfully serving hilltop visitors delicious food and spectacular views for over 50 years. Take the steep, narrow street up to the top, getting eye-level with San Peter's Dome.

Once at the restaurant, enjoy an aperitif on the Lovers' Walkway while you savor the breathtaking panorama of one of the most visited cities in the world. From here you can see the famed monuments of Rome without all the crowds and chaos in the streets below. You will find the Olympic Stadium and the Altar of the Fatherland and you can see the Colosseum at a distance on the horizon. On a clear day you might also be able to see the outline of the Apennines! While here, make this a truly romantic overture by sealing your love with a lock on one of the most beautiful terraces in the world (upon request).

At approximately 4:00 pm you will begin the return trip to the port in Civitavecchia and your ship. This popular tour sells out fast! Book now for delicious food and incomparable views of Rome that you will remember for years to come.
