Step away from the crowds of Rome and discover a quieter, more authentic side of Italy on this Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio shore excursion from Civitavecchia Cruise Port. Designed especially for cruise passengers, this day tour offers a perfect balance of history, scenery, and relaxed exploration.
Your journey takes you through the rolling landscapes of Lazio and Umbria to two remarkable hill towns. Begin in Civita di Bagnoregio, the dramatic village known as “the Dying City,” perched atop a fragile plateau and connected to the modern world by a single pedestrian bridge. Walking through its stone streets feels like stepping back in time.
Continue on to Orvieto, a town rich in Etruscan and medieval history. Explore its hidden underground tunnels and descend into the iconic St. Patrick’s Well, a masterpiece of Renaissance engineering built to secure water during times of siege. Above ground, admire the magnificent Orvieto Cathedral and enjoy free time to savor local Umbrian food and wine.
Travel in comfort with an air-conditioned vehicle and an English-speaking driver, enjoy panoramic countryside views, and return to Civitavecchia on time—an ideal shore excursion for travelers seeking beauty, culture, and a slower Italian rhythm.
