Shuttle port of Civitavecchia to Rome

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

→ Personally I recommend the one at 30 euros but a new shuttle has emerged and is at 25 euros (the blue bus), but I have not tested it yet… You will see some dates are already unavailable . I really advise you to book your places now whether it is for the 1st or the 2nd.. Know that they do not charter the shuttles in number, so if you arrive and there are no more places (yes yes it has already happened), you will have to take the train..

Shuttle 1 – Convenient and affordable – Ride in comfort to Rome!

Price. 30€ per person (return) it was until now 25 euros but it increased recently, too bad!
Journey time: 1h
Advantages. Frequent departures, pick-up at the port and at Termini station in Rome, comfort guaranteed.
Disadvantages. Less economical than the train but very comfortable, wifi on board, fast and no need to walk 20 minutes.

The taxi

The luxury and comfort option

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.

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!
