Rome Running Tours for Cruise Travelers:

Discover the Eternal City Your Way

Every morning, thousands of cruise passengers disembark at the port of Civitavecchia – the gateway to Rome. While many cruise lines offer pre-arranged excursions to the city, they often come with a hefty price tag, rigid schedules, and big crowds.

At Rome By Run, we offer something different: a fully customized running tour of Rome designed for independent cruise travelers who want to make the most of their short stay.

Why Choose a Running Tour?

Rome is a city best explored on foot – or even better, at a light jog! With our expert local runners as your guides, you'll cover more ground than any walking tour, dive deeper into local history and hidden corners, and stay active while traveling. Our tours are suitable for all levels – from casual joggers to seasoned marathoners.

Here’s What You Get:

🏃‍♂️ A private running tour tailored to your pace, interests, and schedule

📍 Central meeting point easy to reach from Termini Station or other arrival spots from Civitavecchia

💼 Bag drop & shower: leave your backpack at a partnered gym in the historic center and enjoy a hot shower after your run

🕒 Flexible timing to make sure you're back in time for your ship’s departure

📸 Photo stops at iconic landmarks and hidden gems along the route

🗣️ Local tips on where to eat, shop, and explore during your remaining hours in Rome

Whether you're into ancient history, street art, architecture, or panoramic viewpoints, we'll craft a route that fits your vibe.

⚓️ How It Works for Cruise Visitors

1. Take the train from Civitavecchia to Rome (about 1h 15min). We'll give you simple instructions.
2. Meet your running guide at our gym partner in the center – you can change clothes, leave your bag, and freshen up after.

4. Shower & refuel before spending the rest of the day in Rome.
5. Return to Civitavecchia in time for your ship’s departure.

🗓️ Only One Day in Rome? Make It Count.

Running through the cobblestone streets at sunrise, past the Colosseum, Pantheon, and along the Tiber River, gives you an unforgettable perspective on the Eternal City. No crowds, no buses, no wasted time – just you, the road, and Rome’s timeless beauty.
