Step aboard for a unique journey through time, nature and ancient Roman life. The experience combines a scenic cruise along the Tiber River with a guided exploration of one of Italy’s most fascinating archaeological sites: Ancient Ostia.
As you sail through a protected natural reserve, the guide brings the river’s history to life with stories of trade, daily routines and the legends that shaped the capital.
On arrival at Ostia’s private pier, take a short break to enjoy the riverside atmosphere before setting out on an immersive walking tour among well-preserved streets, homes and public buildings. Discover everyday features of Roman urban life, from the ancient snack bar to workshops and communal baths, each revealing layers of social and economic history.
The Baths of Neptune boast remarkable mosaic floors, while the theatre rewards visitors with wide views over the ruins and the long, evocative Via Ostiense leads past centuries-old mausoleums.
This combination of gentle cruising and on-foot exploration makes for a relaxed yet thoroughly engaging daytrip from Rome. The route is especially well suited to private groups, schools and special events: bespoke options are available for celebrations, corporate outings and educational visits.
