Reb Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 We're on Symphony of the Sea May 25 cruising the Mediterranean and will disembark on June 1. I know the port is about 50 miles away from Rome. It seems like previous cruises offered transportation to the airport after disembarkation. Does anyone know if that is available this Spring?

Jill Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Royal does offer transfers or you can book a private transfer. We used Daniele Your Driver in Rome. Used them for all 3 of our transfers. They were excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Call your TA OR if booked directly with Royal call them to add the transfer. Rates vary., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebagoSue Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Depending on the number of people you have, a private transfer could even be less expensive than booking transfers through Royal. The other thing to consider is that it is recommended you arrive at the airport in Rome 3 hours before your flight. Sometimes there is a wait for the Royal transfer to fill up and to leave the port. We used RomeInLimo last summer for a private transfer and they were excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFishII Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) I will be taking a cruise in July. I plan on taking the train to Rome. It will either be a 8 min taxi ride or a 30 min walk to the train station. There are 2 different trains you can take. The local train will take about an hour and a half (depending on your stop) to get to Rome. They run 2 or 3 trains an hour. No need to pre-purchase the tickets. The second option is for the express. There is 1 morning express train that departs 9:16 am. That one will only take about 45 minutes. The cost is about $29 pp. I am still researching this information so it may not be accurate. I have attached the train's timetable. Roma-Civitavecchia Railway_Timetable-A4_20170626-eng.pdf Edited February 9, 2023 by FireFishII Update the # of trains and added a time table.

FireFishII Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Sorry, the information I gave above is to the center of Rome. Not the airport. I started a new thread, asking about taking the train from the port to the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennSue Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 We are going next Fall (Oct. 22nd) so thank you all for your input. My question is does anyone know approx. when the ship will dock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 We booked transportation from the pier to the airport (FCO) through Air2Sea for $72 pp for our cruise on Explorer this October. It’s kind of pricey, but having booked our flights through Air2Sea, we want to be able to hold them accountable if we miss our flight due to transportation issues. We don’t foresee any issues, we’re just covering our bases. We’re spending our extra days in Venice/Ravenna before the cruise, so we need to fly home the day we get to Civitavecchia.

RebN Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Thank you all for your input! The ship arrives at 7 a.m. but flight leaves at 3:50 so we should have time for transport. I will investigate private transfers as we have 5 in our party. SebagoSue and teddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mturk Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 If you're thinking private transfer then I highly recommend Cabroma. Their prices were slightly lower than other private transfer companies but the service was top notch in nice new cars. We used their services twice last summer and were very pleased with them.
