How to get from Civitavecchia to Rome?

Hello dear cruise friend, your cruise is booked and it will take you to Civitavecchia! But before you set off to conquer the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain, a crucial question arises: how to reach Rome from Civitavecchia?

Don’t panic, I have put together a complete guide for you on the different options available to you for reaching Rome from Civitavecchia, starting with the most economical.

The train

The ace of the economical ticket – Sail to Rome at a low price!

Price. 10 euros return. The train station is a 20-minute walk from the port. If you wish, you can take a bus to the train station.
Journey time. 1h30 journey in total between the time to reach the station and the journey.
Advantages. Unbeatable price, several departures per day, decent comfort.
Disadvantages. The journey can be a bit long, the trains are not always the most modern.
Travel standing up because the train can be crowded.

2 shuttles

Convenient and affordable – Ride in comfort to Rome!

Price. 32 $ per person (return) it was until now 27 $ but it increased recently, too bad!
Journey time: 1h
Advantages. Frequent departures, pick-up at the port and Termini station in Rome, comfort guaranteed.
Disadvantages. Less economical than the train but very comfortable, wifi on board and no need to walk 20 minutes.

New shuttle for cruise passengers (it offers the same service as the one above but it costs 5 $ less)!

The taxi

The luxury and comfort option

Price. Between 120€ and 150€ per trip and 240 → 250 euros return with the discount.
Journey time: approximately 1 hour
Advantages. Direct transport from the port to Rome, maximum comfort, personalized service.
Cons: The most expensive option, beware of unofficial taxis that might inflate prices.
I do not recommend this option. You can go to Rome with the same benefits for a fair price!

Excursion with your cruise company

I also advise you not to take the boat trip.
Rate on the boat – 99 euros per person
They take you to Rome, once in Rome you manage and they bring you back.
You have to pay the right price, even if you can afford it!!!

Shuttle port of Civitavecchia to Rome

To leave the port of Civitavecchia with ease, follow these steps:

When you get off your boat, look for the free shuttle waiting for you at the exit of the port.

Be careful and avoid the 6 euro paid shuttle. Opt for the free shuttle, which will drop you off just 100 meters from the bus stop to take the shuttle below to Rome.
There are a lot of shuttles when leaving the boat. I really insist that you take the free one and not the paid one (we got fooled once 😜).
To get to Largo Della Pace square, allow around 6 to 7 minutes by free shuttle!
