About this activity

This Shore Excursion will take you into the smallest sovereign state in the world, Vatican City, where you will enjoy a guided tour of the world-famous Vatican Museum & St.Peter's Basilica. You will be collected from your Rome city center hotel between 08:15-08:45 by your friendly English speaking driver and driven to the Vatican city. On arrival meet your professional guide with Skip the Line entry tickets and begin your tour. Once the tour is finished your guide will accompany you back to your vehicle to continue to the cruise terminal. 

For most visitors, the highlight is the Sistine Chapel with decorated walls featuring the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ. But it is above all that, along the roof that most visitors cast their eyes. Here you can see Michelangelo's Ceiling depicting the story of Genesis. Most famous of all is the Creation of Adam, a stunning and emotive painting and a highlight of the artists work. Another highlight is his Last Judgement fresco on the Altar wall. You will be given plenty of time to absorb all this wondrous art before leaving this dramatic and awe-inspiring room to be taken to St Peter's Basilica to explore this incredible High Renaissance church, built on the site of the burial place of the first Pope, St Peter the Apostle. Walk around this vast structure, stroll along the marble floor and pause at the tombs of Popes. Marvel at the sculptures of Bernini, including the "Cathedra Petri" and "Gloria" towers and admire Michelangelo's Pieta, the marble statue of the Virgin and Christ after the crucifixion.

You will exit the Basilica through St Peter's Square (Piazza San Pietro) where thousands regularly gather to hear and see the Pope throughout the year. This great open space is known the world over for Papal Masses held here and televised around the globe. Then return to your driver/vehicle and exit Vatican City returning to Italy and then be transferred to your cruise ship after an amazing day of art and architecture.

At Civitavecchia port, you will be dropped off at your cruise terminal and walk straight to the check-in desk. Porters will take care of your luggage, ensuring it is delivered to your cabin. Make sure you use the luggage label in your cruise pack to facilitate this. Your estimated time of arrival is 1:30pm-2:00pm.
