Fascinating. Well, I'll be returning there in October so maybe I'll take a look too :D

I think you may be confusing it with Livorno. As Keith 1010 said, Civitavecchia is quite a nice little town to stroll around and explore if you don't want to venture far. Also, it will be a lovely opportunity to have the ship to yourself. That's what we intend to do when we're in Civ in a couple of weeks, having spent several days in Rome previously

Nope, not confusing it with Livorno. I just don't recall there being much around. Granted each time it was quite early and I was making my way (sleepily) to the tour bus to head into Rome for the day. I could have easily not been paying much attention (yet).

From memory, the two times I've been on cruises that docked there, it's relatively industrial. There's nothing too much around; not within sight anyways. I am not sure if there are any tour options nearby, but there's definitely nothing to see or do in the immediate vicinity really.
