Top Lake Bracciano Attractions & Museums

Located on Lake Bracciano, Castello Orsini-Odescalchi is one of Italy’s largest and grandest castles—and this tour from Civitavecchia makes visiting simple. Meet your guide after disembarking from the cruise port shuttle, and set off with just a small group for company. Upon arrival at the castle, you’ll explore the landmark, will learn about its history, and will even enjoy a traditional Italian meal before returning to Civitavecchia.

Most cruise ship passengers make a beeline to Rome from Civitavecchia, but this stretch of Tyrrhenian coastline is home to delightful, lesser known sights. Discover one of the most fascinating with this shore excursion to the 14th-century Castle of Santa Severa set directly on the water’s edge. Take in the castle complex at your own pace, admiring views from the ramparts and visiting the archaeological and nautical museums housed inside.

This shore excursion is the perfect way to make the most of a stop off at Rome's Civitavecchia Port. Avoid the worry of missing your re-boarding time, by going on a tour that caters to your cruise schedule. See the impressive Santa Severa Castle, and a maritime museum with authentic medieval period costumes.
