Renaissance, Baroque, and Ancient Rome Accessible Cruise Excursion

renaissance baroque and ancient rome 13 Disabled cruise passengers who want to concentrate on the Renaissance, Baroque, and Ancient Rome sites while skipping the Vatican will enjoy this Rome accessible cruise excursion. You’ll get to experience the famous sites that define Rome: the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, and more. You’ll spend all day in the heart of Rome and feel the pulse of this amazing city!

The Renaissance, Baroque, and Ancient Rome Accessible Cruise Excursion begins with a visit to the most famous Roman ruins, the Colosseum. Your professionally-licensed tour guide will tell you the truth behind the facts and rumors about what happened here.

After leaving the Colosseum, you’ll follow a wheelchair accessible sidewalk to the most historically significant ruins in Rome, the Roman Forum. A special wheelchair with two assistants will allow you to venture all over this fascinating destination including visits to the Arch of Titus, the Senate House, and the imperial palaces on Palatine Hill. After your accessible Rome cruise excursion visits the Circus Maximus and the Theater of Marcello you’ll have time for lunch in an accessible and authentic Italian restaurant.

The Renaissance, Baroque, and Ancient Rome Accessible Cruise Excursion continues in the Rome city center with a visit to one of the most famous fountains in the world, the Trevi Fountain. The viewing area around the Trevi Fountain can get quite crowded, and your tour guide will help you to get an unobstructed view. Piazza Navona (originally a Roman race-track) and Bernini’s Fountain of Four Rivers are your next stop. A wheelchair accessible visit to the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps will be followed by some time to shop in the famous streets around Piazza di Spagna before heading back to your cruise ship in Civitavecchia.

Accessibility Description

The Renaissance, Baroque, and Ancient Rome Accessible Cruise Excursion has a 4 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it uses a wheelchair accessible vehicle to transfer to Rome and between the sights. The tour route is also completely step-free. A special wheelchair will be used to go over the Roman ruins in the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill. It did not quite receive a 5 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because wheelchair users will encounter cobblestones when visiting the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain in the city center.
