How to reach Rome from Civitavecchia Port

[revised January 2026] Some of our guests visit Rome during a cruise (or before/after a cruise) and need infos on how to reach the city from the harbour of Rome which is not “around the corner” (approx 1,5 hr ride away from the city centre).

The cheapest way is by train, read here how to reach the train station in Civitavecchia.

With regards to our tours, we can meet you at the arrival of the train (two possible stations: Roma San Pietro or Roma Termini, depending on the itinerary we plan) or we can book a private transfer for you and coordinate with the driver to meet you in town at the first venue of our tour.

A good compromise to save some money is to take the train on the way into Rome and leave by private van. This is especially true in summer: in the morning it’s not too hot and you still have plenty of energy to manage the port and the train, on the way back you are tired after the long day touring, the day temperature can reach 100 F and an air-conditioned transfer can be a good treat. Not to forget you cannot allow yourself being late and miss the ship!

Now that you have infos and tips, it’s up to you to decide, according to your needs and budget.
