• 5A Memorable Family Day in the Eternal City

  Our family had only one day in Rome during our cruise, so we wanted to make sure we saw some of the major landmarks without turning the day into a stressful experience. We were picked up at the cruise ship and headed into Rome, which made the beginning of the day very simple. The Colosseum was definitely the favorite for everyone. Standing there and seeing the scale of it was something we'll remember for a long time. Trevi Fountain was another favorite, especially for taking family pictures, and we really enjoyed seeing the Pantheon and St. Peter’s Square too. There was a lot to see, but the day didn't feel completely chaotic. We had opportunities to stop, look around, take photographs, and enjoy the atmosphere. Having transportation arranged both ways was probably one of the biggest advantages for us. By the time we returned to the ship, everyone was tired, but in the good way you feel after a day full of sightseeing. It was a great family experience

• 5A Special Day for the Two of Us

  We had one day in Rome and wanted to see the classic sights together, so we decided to spend our shore time exploring the city rather than staying close to the port. It ended up being a really enjoyable day. The Colosseum was amazing, but some of my favorite moments were actually the smaller ones—walking through the streets, stopping near the Pantheon, seeing the Trevi Fountain, and simply taking in the atmosphere around St. Peter’s Square. Because we were on a cruise, our biggest concern was always the return time. Having pickup and drop-off arranged at the ship made the experience much more relaxing. We weren't constantly checking transportation options or wondering how long it would take to get back. It was definitely a full day and we were ready for a quiet evening afterward, but it was worth it. Rome has so much history packed into a relatively small area that every stop felt like another little piece of the city.

• 5So Many Famous Places in One Day

  A few of us were traveling together on a cruise and decided we wanted to make the most of our day in Rome. This turned out to be exactly the kind of sightseeing day we were hoping for. We saw the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, St. Peter’s Square, and several other areas along the way. What I liked most was that we didn’t spend the whole day rushing from one place to another. There was enough time to actually enjoy the locations, take pictures, grab something to eat, and walk around a little. The pickup at the ship was convenient and the return arrangements gave us peace of mind. Rome is one of those places where you could spend a week and still have things left to see, so obviously we only got a taste of it. But for a cruise stop, we felt like we used our time really well. Everyone in our group enjoyed it, and we all agreed it was one of the most memorable days of the trip.

• 5A Relaxed Day Exploring Rome

  We booked this as a couple during our cruise and were mainly looking for a comfortable way to spend our day in Rome. The pickup from the cruise terminal was convenient, and the transportation was clean and comfortable. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable without turning the day into a nonstop lecture. We enjoyed hearing the history behind the places we saw, then having some free time together to explore and take photos. The biggest positive for us was the timing. We never felt like we were completely on our own with the responsibility of getting back to the ship. Knowing that the return to the port was planned around the cruise schedule made the day much more relaxing. A good option for couples who want to see Rome without trying to organize everything independently.

• 5Rome in One Day With Plenty of Breathing Room

  A group of friends traveling together can sometimes make sightseeing complicated, but this worked out nicely for us. The transportation from the cruise port was comfortable, and we liked not having to figure out trains, taxis, or directions ourselves. The guide was friendly and gave us interesting stories about Rome while we were moving between different parts of the city. What we liked most was having leisure time to walk around, take photos, grab something to eat, and enjoy the atmosphere without constantly watching the clock. Getting back to the port on time was obviously our biggest concern, and the schedule was handled well. It felt like a good compromise between having a guide and still having freedom during the day.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
