Barcelona and Civitavecchia are two of the busiest MED destinations for cruise ships throughout the year, even during the winter months there are ships on both Ports, either in transit or starting/finishing new voyages. I have been a regular to Barcelona for twenty years and for the past couple of years also Civitavecchia is amongst my most visited places in Europe, lately I have been using both Ports for my sea voyages using GRIMALDI Cruise Ferries. Seen here first at Barcelona is the HAL "MAASDAM", the following day when I got to the Rome seaport of Civitavecchia, the ROYAL CARIBBEAN "SPLENDOUR OF THE SEAS" and COSTA CRUISES, "COSTA PACIFICA" were both in Port, just about to get ready for departure.
