Explora Embarkation - Civitavecchia

[Gwalior]

We are booked on Explora2 in August 2025, sailing from Civitavecchia.

We will be arriving at the port at about 11.30 am, so we are expecting a long wait before we can check in.  We don’t mind this as we are happy to sit and read for a couple of hours or so if need be.

We have never embarked at Civitavecchia at the start of a cruise.

Can anyone who has embarked on Explora at Civitavecchia tell me if there are any adequate waiting facilities (seats, toilets, drinks) available prior to check in.  I am guessing that Americo Vespucci terminal has, but am thinking that small ships such as the Exploras would embark from either Bramante or one of the tents; indeed Explora2 appears to be embarking tomorrow at Pier10 which has a tent terminal. Feedback from anyone embarking tomorrow would be particularly appreciated.

TIA.

Your TA should be able to fill you in on this .

Kind of early to discuss where Explora will be located since port schedules are not yet available for 2025.

We've embarked Azamara at a tented terminal at Civitavechia - there were plenty of chairs
