    Captain's Tip

    Your cruise departs from Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy on the Celebrity Ascent, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Just outside town, the Terme Taurine are ancient Roman bath ruins set in a quiet landscape.
