Rome (Civitavecchia) photos
Lazio, Italy
The port of Rome, an hour or more from the city.
Rome sailings embark at Civitavecchia, on the Tyrrhenian coast, not at a pier in the center of Rome. The transfer is commonly an hour or more, and traffic can make a morning departure from a Roman hotel the risky version. Our samples assume you treat Civitavecchia as the port and Rome as a city you see before or after.
One sample runs about ten nights toward the western Mediterranean. Another is a seven-night loop toward Naples, Sicily, and Malta. They are different trips. The longer one spends its time up the coast toward France and Spain. The shorter one stays in the central Mediterranean.
- CivitavecchiaSay the port name when you arrange a car. “Rome port” is how transfers go to the wrong place in a conversation.
- Two sample shapesA ten-night western route and a seven-night central route.
- Pre-cruise nightRome the night before is pleasant. Civitavecchia the night before is the safer boarding plan if the ship leaves early.

Questions about Rome (Civitavecchia)
Can I see Rome on embarkation morning?
You can try, and you can miss the ship. See Rome on a separate day.
Is Civitavecchia worth a walk?
The port town has a fort and a waterfront. It is not a substitute for Rome, and it does not need to be.
Which airport?
Fiumicino is the usual airport. Tell your transfer that the destination is Civitavecchia, not a Rome hotel, on embarkation day.
