How to get from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia by

train, public transportation

.

.

There aren’t any trains from Fiumicino Airport (Fiumicino) to Civitavecchia, and neither from Ciampino Airport to Civitavecchia. Therefore, you must make your way from Fiumicino Airport (via Leonardo Express) or from Ciampino Airport (via local bus service) to Rome.

• Once you arrive at Rome Fiumicino Airport, follow the signs to the train station for Leonardo Express which runs every 30 minutes between FCO Airport and Termini Station.  The station is located within the airport complex.
  .
  
• Board the Leonardo Express train, which operates between Rome Airport and Rome Termini Station. Once you arrive at Rome Termini Station, look for the platform where the regional trains to Civitavecchia depart. The platform information can be found on the display boards or by asking station staff.
  .
  
• Take a local train bound for Civitavecchia. The journey from Rome Termini to Civitavecchia takes around 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes, and there are multiple trains throughout the day.
  .
  
• Upon reaching Civitavecchia, exit the train station, and you will be in the center of the town. 
  .
  
• Walk to the Cruise Port: From the train station, follow the signs or ask locals for directions to the cruise port. The distance is approximately 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) and takes around 15-20 minutes on foot. 
  .
  
• Taking the Bus to Cruise Port: If you prefer not to walk or have heavy luggage, there is a bus service available. Look for the bus stop near the train station or inquire with the station staff.  Buses may either be port shuttle buses, or local buses that run every 20 minutes and take you directly to the cruise port main gate at Largo della Pace.  Bus tickets can be purchased at the newsstand or at the bar inside the train station in Civitavecchia. Once you reach the Largo della Pace service area outside the port, look for “Shuttle Buses” that go from ship to ship to pick up and drop off cruisers.
  
  .

Be aware that the train station has multiple train tracks that are crossed via an underground accessway that requires negotiating multiple flights of stairs with your luggage in tow. There are no lifts or escalators. Evaluate your personal physical ability and stamina for ascending and descending flights of stairs with your luggage. From there, you can either walk to the cruise port’s main gate, or use a local bus.

.

Relying on public transportation can take hours, and it’s a very unpredictable way to get from Rome’s Airports to the Cruise Port due to also frequent public transportation and train strikes in Italy hat left many cruisers stranded. Allow lots of extra time for unexpected delays and travel issues along the way.

It’s worth noting that train schedules may vary, so it’s advisable to check the most up-to-date information before your trip. Additionally, make sure to keep an eye on your belongings and be aware of your surroundings while traveling.

Taking a Taxi from Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia

Taxis are often available at Rome Airport, and you can find them at designated taxi ranks outside the terminal buildings by the curbside.

Most Rome or Fiumicino Taxis can only take you as far as the main port gate, after which, you have to make your own way through the huge port to your ship using port shuttle buses.  Most Rome or Fiumicino Taxis are small economy-size vehicles that are not suitable for parties of more than 2-3 with luggage.

Taxis are not always available at the Airport as sometimes even Taxis go on strike, or are in high demand in Rome on rainy days or on days of public transportation strikes when folks who would otherwise use buses and metros rely on Taxis to get around Rome.  It’s not uncommon to find long hours-long lines at the airport to find a taxi. When you have a ship to catch taxis may not be the most reliable option to get from Rome’s Airports to Civitavecchia.

TIPS for booking a Transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia

Book your Transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia in advance

Here are some helpful tips to avoid costly mistakes when booking your Civitavecchia Transfers from Rome Airport.

Most cruise ships sail during the peak travel season which is already heavy with land travelers flying into Italy.  On days that are already busy with land travelers further impacted by large cruise ships in Civitavecchia, availability for Port transfers from Rome Airports is reduced.

To avoid having to scramble to find a transfer from Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia (or from Ciampino Airport to Civitavecchia), be sure to book your port transfer in advance.

How far in advance should you book a transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia?

Among the many things you didn’t know about booking Civitavecchia Transfers is that it is recommended to book your Civitavecchia transfers once you have booked your cruise and your airline tickets.  Preferably, book your transfer from Rome Airport to the Cruise Port at least 1-3 months in advance, or even earlier if possible.

Waiting until the last minute to book a transfer may leave you unable to find availability for a port transfer on your preferred date or time.

Book your transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia correctly

Always double-check your reservation to make sure all the details in your booking are accurate. 

Some of the most common mistakes cruisers make when booking transfers from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia are booking with the wrong date, incorrect Flight Number,  incorrect number of passengers (such as not including children as passengers), and incorrect number of luggage pieces which is very important in order to be provided with a proper size vehicle for their passenger and luggage needs.

Always include the name of your ship and not only the name of the cruise line.  Quite often a cruise line may have multiple ships docking at the same time at Civitavecchia Port, and if you don’t specify the ship name it can create confusion and you risk being taken to the wrong ship.

.

Include all your luggage when booking Civitavecchia Transfers

When booking Civitavecchia transfers, providing an accurate luggage amount is very important.  

.

.

If your luggage amount exceeds the vehicle capacity for your number of passengers, you may either require a vehicle size upgrade or may need to reserve a 2nd vehicle if your luggage exceeds your vehicle luggage capacity.

By not informing your transfer provider of your accurate amount of luggage, you risk undue delays and uncertainties if your luggage exceeds the vehicle’s luggage capacity making it impossible to proceed with your transfer as planned.

  .

Cruising with children?

Include them in your Civitavecchia transfer bookings

If you are cruising and traveling with children, please be sure to include the children as passengers so you will be provided with a suitable size vehicle that can accommodate the total number of passengers in your party. Children are required by law to be secured in their own passenger seats.

If you are traveling with small children that require a child seat or booster seat to be provided for you, be sure to request child safety seats in advance in your reservation and also provide the Age and Weight of each child that requires a child safety seat.  

.

Bring your Civitavecchia Transfers Vouchers with you

Your Civitavecchia Transfer Reservation Confirmation Vouchers include very important information such as your reservation details, the Meeting Point at Rome’s Airport, and the emergency phone number of your transfer provider.

Be sure to also double-check your Confirmation Voucher before your trip to ensure that all details in your reservation are up to date and there are no changes in your flight number, flight arrival time, your amount of luggage, or the number of passengers in your party.

.

If possible do NOT fly into Italy on the same day as your cruise departure

We lost count of how many cruisers who flew into Rome’s airport the same day as their ship departure, ended up missing their cruise or cruising without their luggage. It doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen and it ruined many cruises for hundreds of folks.

.

Can you miss your ship in Civitavecchia

if you fly into Rome on the same day your ship departs?

In short, YES.

Many cruisers missed their ship because they experienced flight delays, missed connections, or flight cancellations.

Those who missed their ship either had to find a way to meet their ship in a subsequent port, or give up on the cruise entirely and head back home.  Always contact your cruise line or travel agent for assistance with making other plans.  Carrying travelers insurance can help you recuperate losses as a result of missing your ship due to flight issues.

Many cruisers also had to leave for their cruise without their luggage because their luggage was lost. As a result, they had to choose between missing their cruise or going on their cruise without their luggage.  For this reason, it’s important to bring your most important items such as medicine and toiletries, as well as changes of clothes in your carry-on cases.

If possible, do NOT book your flight arriving on the same day as your ship departure.   Arriving 1 or 2 days before your ship departure date will save you the risk of missing your cruise or going on your cruise without your luggage, and also allow you some much-needed time to rest after a long journey, recover from jet lag, and get accustomed to time zone differences.
