In the port of Civitavecchia there are 5 cruise terminals, located at docks 10, 11, 12, 12bis, 12bis, 13, 13bis and 25 which are managed by the concessionary company Roma Cruise Terminal (RCT).

Among these Terminals, we point out the Amerigo Vespucci Terminal (inaugurated in 2018): with its 12,500 sqm, is one of the largest in Europe.

THE AMERIGO VESPUCCI TERMINAL

The Amerigo Vespucci Terminal is a state-of-the-art building designed by Studio Vicini from Genoa.

On the second floor, entering through the main gate, passengers have convenient access to the check-in area, with more than 60 counters. The security check also takes place on the second floor.

Once all boarding formalities have been completed, passengers enter the ship safely through a moveable bridge.

Inside the terminal you will find comfort and services: a VIP lounge, the Cruise Bar and a panoramic terrace from which you will enjoy an amazing view of the city and the port.

Finally, inside the terminal you can also see an exhibition space with Roman and Etruscan pieces on loan from the Port Authority and the Superintendence of Fine Arts and Culture of Metropolitan Rome, Viterbo and Southern Etruria as a testimony to the history of Civitavecchia as the main port of Rome and Lazio.
