In 2025 the port of Civitavecchia has established its new cruise traffic record with 3,556,559 passengers and an increase of +2.8% over 2024 when it had been marked the previous historical peak. In particular, last year passengers in transit were 1,829,701 (+5.4%) and passengers at embarkation and disembarkation there were 1,726,858 (+0.2%). The number of stopovers of cruise ships rose to 862, with an increase by +2.5% compared to 841 airports in 2024.

The Port System Authority of the Central Tyrrhenian Sea Settentrionale highlighted that the 2025 figure represents a new absolute record for the Italian port system, surpassing the threshold of 3.5 million cruise passengers for the first time and consolidates the strategic role of Civitavecchia in the world panorama of cruises, both as a port of transit and, above all, as a port of embarkation and disembarkation (home port).

"For 2026 - explained the president of the Port Authority, Raffaele Latrofa - we await further very important results, also taking into account that the completion of the works of the PNC (the National Plan Complementary to the PNRR), the opening of access to the south of the port, up to the new connection with the antemural and its extension, will radically change the face of the airport and the functionality of services and related mobility cruises, for which solutions are being studied that continue to support its growth, increasing the capacity of the airport to meet all requests for docking of the various companies, starting from 2027-28".
