Phill Vasquez Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I’m sailing on the Odyssey in June from civitavecchia. Does anyone know if there is direct transportation from central Rome to Civitavecchia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyLady Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 You can check on Cruise Critic under Italy ports for all the discussions. Many travelers on a budget opt for the train, but then you need local transportation from the train station to your ship. Taxis have a set price, which is around 125 Euros. Private shuttles may be a bit less or more, depending on the company. I opted for a shared shuttle, and I thought the price was fair. The trip is less than an hour, right to the ship check-in. There is also information on TA: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187791-i22-k14686912-To_From_the_Port_of_Civitavecchia-Rome_Lazio.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

instaGator Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Yes, the train is the way to go. We have made the trip three times and it is very easy as long as each person only has one suitcase. Here is a website will all the details on using the train to get to the port: https://civitavecchia.portmobility.it/en/port-civitavecchia-guide-cruise-passengers PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganH Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Definitely the train! So easy and cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mturk Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 We have used a car service the last 2 summers and really it can't be beat. Door-to-door service! It may be a little more expensive but for us it was worth it. MaryS, WAAAYTOOO and TessFromFlorida 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is inexpensive and simple and getting transport from the station to the ship is too. The hardest part is getting out of the train station (you have to go down via stairs or a small elevator to get under the tracks to exit). There are cabs waiting if you're in a hurry for the 10-minute or so trip to the dock, but shuttle buses also run between the station and the dock... there are different colors for the different cruise lines so ask the driver to make sure you get on the RC shuttle. They are cash only (was 3 Euro per person a couple years ago) and very easy. For two people it can;t be beat, plus once you get out of Rome the train through the countryside is lovely. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter D Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 We did the train last year and I would definitely do it again, but there are a couple things I would do differently. 1. Two of us had 3 suitcases, which was a bit of a challenge managing on the train. Luckily it was not too crowded leaving Rome (morning) so we managed, but it is definitely easier if you can travel lighter. As we were staying overnight in Civitavecchia, we opted to just walk from Train to hotel (about 1km) and then from hotel to port (another 1km). 2. Plan the return trip- Post cruise, the train station is chaotic to buy tickets back to Rome and they sell out for early trains. I would highly recommend buying the return ticket to Rome before going to ship, so that when you leave, you can basically get right on the train. Also, the trains are even more crowded going back, so luggage is still a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used The Limo Shuttle in October taking us up to Odyssey. www.civitavecchiashuttleexpress.com Nice ride, shared with 2 other groups who were cruising.

We used Cab Roma for most of it and another service, Civitavecchia Cab Service, for our trip from the port to the airport as I was late to book with Cab Roma. Very happy with both services and all done by email. I wasn't sure how we would be in touch with them once we landed/disembarked but as soon as i had WIFI, I received notifications from each company by WhatsApp. www.cabroma.com www.civitavecchiacabservice.com Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Van Niekerk Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 We just booked an Air BnB / Hotel in Rome for pre-cruise in November and they offer a private car service for 150 euro. Sounds a bit spendy at first but some quick research showed it wasn't out of line for the market. My advice? Check to see if your accommodation has any sort of arrangements.
