rom 18th May 2018, Civitavecchia cruise port boasts the presence of the Terminal Amerigo Vespucci, one of the largest of Europe with its 11.000sq. Eighteen months of feverish works have represented the challenge accepted and successfully completed, despite the time schedule that seemed almost impossible due to the dimensions of the project and the effort of coordination required.

To Roma Cruise Terminal (RCT) with an investment of around € 20 million, goes the merit and pride of this important achievement that will offer a strong impulse of growth and a significant economical benefit not only to the city, but to the Lazio region and Italy itself as first permanent hub of connection between the port and the world. Able to accommodate large cruise ships, the building equipped with the most modern control services for passengers and baggage, aims to make as fast as possible the check-in operations.
The need to simultaneously embark about 5000/6000 people and disembark the same number of passengers has suggested 60 control stations that can easily transform into 120.

The philosophy behind the conception and realization of the structure is to make the vacation start in the terminal, offering at the first impact a spacious, well lit, airy, welcoming environment.
Scattered throughout the area, 90 screens keep constantly updated the travelers. The VIP lounge and the ‘Cruise Bar’ with a generous panoramic terrace, at the first floor, guarantee pleasant moments before boarding.
Testimony of the rich history of Lazio a small space has been dedicated to the exhibition of Roman and Etruscan historical artifacts. Two bridges bring directly the passenger to the ship.

The architectural gesture, conceived by Genoa-based Studio Vicini Architects, authors of several other terminals, proposes the perimeter walls as continuous, floor to ceiling glass ribbons, to connect as much as possible with the superb context, making almost tangible the presence of the sea on two sides.
