10 Must-Do Things In Civitavecchia Cruise Port (Rome) + Port Info

Tiber River and St Peter's Basilica, Rome

Welcome to Civitavecchia cruise port (Rome, Italy)! (Post updated: March 2024)

Civitavecchia port is the largest and busiest Mediterranean seaport and the main gateway to Italy’s capital city of Rome. The coastal town of Civitavecchia sits approximately 80 km/50 miles northwest of the eternal city. The ancient town of Civitavecchia was founded in the 2nd century and visitors who decide to stay in the town can explore its ancient monuments and a lovely seafront promenade. However, most of the cruise passengers decide to visit Rome on their cruise. There are several ways to do so, and in this article, I share with you:

  • Civitavecchia cruise port information (Civitavecchia cruise terminal, getting around, how to get to Rome from Civitavecchia port)
  • Top 10 things to do in Rome , shore excursions , things to do in Civitavecchia town

Visit also our cruise port guides to La Spezia (Florence/Pisa) , Taormina (Messina) , Livorno , Cagliari , Naples

Civitavecchia Cruise Port

The port of Civitavecchia is the world’s 13th busiest cruise port and it’s massive – Officially named “Roma Cruise Terminal (aka RCT)”, it consists of 8 cruise terminals and 15 berths that can accommodate the world’s largest cruise liners. Civitavecchia port is also a homeport, meaning that cruises start and end in Civitavecchia.

Civitavecchia Port Link is the shuttle bus that normally runs between the cruise terminals and the train station, from where you can take a train to Rome. The single ticket for this bus costs 6€ one way and the ride takes up to 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a free shuttle bus provided by the port authorities to Largo della Pace information point, from where you can walk for 20 minutes or take a local bus to the train station.

Civitavecchia cruise port

Getting Around Civitavecchia Rome

  • The official Civitavecchia port address is Prato del Turco, 00053 Civitavecchia.
  • The town of Civitavecchia is located within walking distance of the port. This charming town is known for its 16th-century Fortezza Michelangelo, a beautiful city promenade, a local church and the National Archaeological Museum.
  • The currency in Italy is EURO (€). Local currency and major credit cards are widely accepted.
  • Civitavecchia train station (Stazione Civitavecchia) is located a 5-minute drive from the port of Civitavecchia. You can use the Civitavecchia Port Link bus to get there, or a free shuttle bus to Largo della Pace information point from where you need to walk for 20 minutes to the train station. At Civitavecchia train station, you can catch a train to Rome, one of the airports, or other cities in Italy.
  • Trains run approximately every 30 minutes from Civitavecchia train station to Roma Termini (Rome Central Station) and the ride can last anywhere from 40 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, depending on the train. In Rome, you can also get off at San Pietro Station, Trastevere Station, or Ostiense Station, depending on where you want to start your visit. You can purchase the tickets online, or at the ticket office/kiosk at the train station. To check the timetables and fares, check out https://www.trenitalia.com/
  • Taxis are also available at the cruise terminal, and the ride to the train station costs around 10€ per person one-way. If you decide to take a taxi to Rome’s city center, expect to pay around 200€ per taxi one-way. You can also book a private transfer or a shore excursion to Rome.
  • If you are coming to Civitavecchia from Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci International Airport) or Ciampino Airport , the cheapest option is to take a bus to Roma Termini, Rome’s central station, and then take a train to Civitavecchia. Several private companies operate buses from both airports to Roma Termini, and the ticket is typically no more than 7€ per person. Alternatively, you can book a private transfer from the airport to Civitavecchia port , and the cost varies based on the company.
  • A convenient way of visiting Rome is by Rome Hop on Hop off bus that includes stops at all major city landmarks. Check out Rome Hop on Hop off bus tours on Viator and Get Your Guide
  • In Rome, you can use the Metro Lines A and B to get you to Rome’s major attractions such as Colosseum, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza Navona, and St Peter’s Basilica. The single ticket costs 1.5€ and is valid for 100 minutes. Daily tickets are available at the price of 7€.
  • When planning your trip to Rome, keep in mind that crowds in the city are huge and you will probably waste a lot of your time waiting in lines. If you plan to visit the Colosseum or Vatican Museums, I highly recommend you book a guided tour or skip-the-line tickets . The visit to these sights takes at least half a day for each attraction, so keep that in mind as your time in Rome will be limited.
  • If you are visiting Rome for the first time and staying only for a few hours, I suggest you either walk and enjoy the external visit of the main attractions, or get around the city center by metro. In case you don’t mind walking, I highly recommend you read my article A Day in Rome: Day Trip from Civitavecchia to Rome where you’ll find a detailed half-day Rome itinerary with maps and explanations.
  • Since you will be probably staying in Rome for only one day, booking a guided shore excursion is the safest and most convenient way of exploring the city highlights due to the limited time you’ll have. You can book a guided tour with your cruise line or with a reliable tour operator (usually a cheaper option), however, make sure you double-check the ship’s all onboard time before leaving on a tour.  Explore Rome (Civitavecchia) tours and activities

1. St Peter’s Basilica

The Basilica of St Peter is the largest church and one of the most impressive religious structures in the world. It is located in Vatican City and with its immense dimensions and surface area of 22.000 square meters, it can host around 20.000 people. The church is believed to be the burial place of Saint Peter and is home to countless monuments and masterpieces including the works of Bramante, Michelangelo, Maderno, Bernini, and other notable artists.

The entrance to the Basilica is free, although you may face lines and security screening. To get to the Basilica, you need to get off at Stazione San Pietro and then walk for 10 minutes to the square.

Check out St. Peter’s Basilica tours and activities

St Peter's Basilica - St Peter's Square

2. Vatican Museums

Vatican Museums are located next to St Peter’s Basilica and you need at least half-day to visit the major artworks and galleries. Because Vatican Museums contain one of the largest collections of artworks in the world, I suggest you make a selection of the main points of interest based on what you want to see. Some of the main places of interest are:

  • Sistine Chapel – Goethe said: “Without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving”. Michelangelo Buonarroti’s masterpiece depicting biblical scenes is a number one must-see in Vatican Museums!
  • The Pinacoteca , with 18 rooms housing paintings dating from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, including the works of Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Perugino and Caravaggio.
  • The Pio Clementino Museum – The largest complex inside the Museums that houses the most important Greek and Roman sculpture masterpieces.
  • Gregorian Egyptian Museum – This part consists of 9 rooms displaying exhibitions, monuments and artifacts from Ancient Egypt.
  • Gallery of Geographical Maps – It is one of the most fascinating rooms in the Museums and an unmissable place for history and geography buffs.
  • The Carriage Pavilion – It is located in a separate section of the Museums and displays carriages, cars and sedan chairs used by various popes throughout history.
  • The Raphael’s Room – In the 16th century, the rooms were the private apartments of Pope Julius II, who commissioned the frescoes to Raphael.

If you are coming on a cruise and visiting Rome in a day, it is recommended to book a shore excursion with your cruise line to be on the safe side and not risk missing the ship. Alternatively, a cheaper option is to book a tour with a reputable independent tour operator (they usually have a lot of experience with cruise ship passengers so they’ll bring you to your ship on time), or, if you decide to visit on your own, book a skip-the-line ticket to avoid queueing.

Check out the guided tours of Vatican Museums (including the skip-the-line tickets)

3. Castel Sant’Angelo

The imposing fortress is located on the right bank of the Tiber River, a 10-minute walk from St Peter’s Square. The foundations of the castle date back to around 125 B.C. and nowadays it hosts the National Museum of Castel Sant’ Angelo where you can admire a large collection of sculptures, paintings, marble finds, weapons, furniture and various objects.

4. Colosseum

The majestic Colosseum is one of the seven wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Named after its colossal dimensions, the Colosseum is the largest ancient amphitheater in the world dating from 70-80 AD, built under the Roman Emperors Vespasian, and his heir, Titus. The massive amphitheater used to host gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, executions, animal hunts and theatre plays, and could hold on average 70.000 spectators. The Colosseum has been the symbol of Rome for centuries, and nowadays is a must-see attraction!

Cruise lines offer numerous shore excursions to the Colosseum, but you can also visit it on your own. To get to the Colosseum, get off at Roma Termini station and then take the metro line B to the “Colosseo” stop. You will probably face long lines, so it’s recommended to purchase the skip-the-line ticket.

Check out Colosseum tours and tickets

Colosseum and Arch of Constantine, Rome

5. Roman Forum

The Roman Forum is one of the most fascinating archeological sites that used to be the center of everyday life and an administrative and commercial hub in Ancient Rome. Today, visitors can see the ruins of antique Temples (Temple of Saturn, Temple of Vespasian and Titus, Temple of Caesar, Temple of Vesta, Temple of Castor and Pollux…), basilicas, squares, Curia Julia (an ancient Senat House), Rostra (the elevated platform where public speakers used to stand), Arch of Septimius Severus, and other ancient structures.

It takes several hours to visit the entire forum, but in case you don’t have time, you can admire it from the street Via dei Fori Imperiali as it has a promenade overlooking the forum. The Roman Forum is located right next to the Colosseum and to get there, get off at Ostiense station and take the metro line B stop “Colosseo”.

6. Spanish Steps

Piazza di Spagna, with its monumental staircase leading to the church of Trinità dei Monti and Bernini’s baroque fountain Fontana della Barcaccia , is one of the most beautiful squares in Rome. The famous square has always been a popular cultural and tourist hub with a large number of hotels, restaurants, cafes and shopping streets. To get to Spanish Square, get off at Roma Termini station, take the metro line A towards Battistini for 3 stops, and finally get off at the “Spagna” stop.

7. Trevi Fountain

Fontana di Trevi is a stunning baroque fountain with rococo elements and is certainly one of the most awe-inspiring fountains in the world. It has gigantic dimensions (26.3 meters high and around 49.15 meters wide) and was designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi in the 18th century.

The history of the Trevi fountain is connected to Aqua Virgo, an aqueduct dating from 19 B.C. that was used to provide water to the Roman baths and the fountains in central Rome. The Trevi fountain was built at the endpoint of the aqueduct, on the site where three roads intersect, and therefore was named the “Three Roads Fountain” (the “tri viae” in Latin means “three roads”).

Trevi Fountain is located in the historic center and is always packed with people. There is no entrance fee, however, be ready for a lot of crowds. While there, don’t forget to toss a coin into the fountain to ensure you return to Rome! To get to Trevi Fountain, get off at Roma Termini station, get the metro line A towards Battistini and after two stops get off at the “Barberini – Fontana di Trevi” stop.

8. Piazza Navona

Originally built as the Stadium of Domitian in the 1 st century AD, Piazza Navona is today one of the most visited and most elegant squares in Rome. The square is dominated by three lavish fountains (Fountain of the Four Rivers, Fountain of the Moor and Fountain of Neptun), and shadowed by the immense Sant’Agnese in Agone church , the 17th-century Baroque basilica that contains the skull of St. Agnes in a shrine. Piazza Navona is located within a 10-minute walk from Trevi Fountain.

9. Pantheon

A former Roman temple, and nowadays the Catholic Basilica with an imposing dome and massive entry columns, the colossal Pantheon peacefully sits on the tiny Piazza della Rotonda, only 5-10 minutes walking distance from Piazza Navona and Fontana di Trevi.

The iconic temple was completed by Emperor Hadrian in 125 AD, it has a cylindrical shape and features the world’s largest unreinforced dome made entirely of concrete. The central part of the dome has an immense opening that provides natural light to the interior of the temple, which houses tombs of renowned artists and members of the Italian Royal family, including Raphael, Vittorio Emmanuelle II, King Umberto I, and others. The entrance to the Pantheon is free of charge.

10. Campo de’ Fiori

Not far from Piazza Navona and Pantheon, Campo de Fiori is a popular square hosting one of the most picturesque markets in the city. The square was built in the 15th century on the site of a former flower meadow, thus the name, according to the legend.

Here, you can find fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, and taste some Roman specialties for decent prices in the surrounding bars and eateries. The market is open-air and there is no entrance fee.

On request, it is possible to organize the pick-up at different times. It is impossible to bring large backpacks, bags, and umbrellas to the sites. However, handbags, small backpacks, and foldable umbrellas are allowed. Note that the car is not at disposal during the Tour of Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine. Cars and drivers might change; we recommend not leaving personal belongings in the vehicle.

What you will see

This private shore excursion to rome includes all the following sites:, coliseum & roman forum.

Your driver will pick you up at the dock of your Ship at 7:30 and bring you to your Rome private guide. Continue your Rome shore excursion at the massive Colosseum, where fights between gladiators and beasts took place for the pleasure of bloodthirsty ancient Romans. The Coliseum tour continues to the Rome Forum. As you traverse the area, you are walking in the footsteps of Roman Emperors, bringing more than two millennia of history to life.

Unlike other tours, our Coliseum tour includes the Palatine. According to ancient legend, Romulus founded Rome on Palatine hill in 753 B.C. Following his actions, the Emperors built their opulent homes for the rest of the civilization to enjoy.

Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps

Start your Rome driven tour with the Trevi Fountain . Set of Fellini’s inimitable “La Dolce Vita,” the Trevi Fountain is an iconic site that all visitors seek out if only to toss a coin into its waters to ensure their safe return to Rome. To round off your magical day, proceed to the Spanish Steps and admire the Church of Trinitàdei Monti, which sits at the top of the famous stairwell with the Fontana Della Barcaccia at its foot.

The Pantheon

The next masterpiece to admire on your one day in Rome is the Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly just a few centuries old, it isn’t easy to believe that the structure was finished in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front – a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16th-century fountain beneath the Egyptian obelisk. Note that entering the Pantheon might require standing in line for a significant amount of time. If lines are reasonable, you can pay the tickets at the entrance; € 5,00 each.

Piazza Navona

Continue to Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s most prominent squares. The space is trendy among tourists for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent The Nile, The Ganges, The Danube, and Rio de la Plata. The structure now sits amidst the artists who arrive to peddle their wares daily. Navona Square is the last stop of your Rome sightseeing tour with your private guide. The diver will pick you up here to lead you back to your Ship. But your Rome Shore Excursion is not complete without St. Peter’s Square visit.

St. Peter’s Square

Your Shore Excursion to Rome will finish with St. Peter’s Square, where you can marvel at the immense curved colonnades that extend towards the most famous Basilica in the world.

Between 1 pm and 2 pm, you will be offered lunch in a selected restaurant, as included in the tour price ( Starter, Main course, and water).

In addition to Ancient Rome, we'll have to visit the Trevi Fountain , the  Agrippa   Pantheon  and  Piazza Navona , and the Spanish Steps , all located within walking distance. You'll love it!

Ostia Antica

Photo during Sightseeing of Ostia Antica

Imagine an entire Roman city, abandoned since the end of antiquity and unearthed after centuries of oblivion. Certainly closer to the Civitavecchia seaport than Pompeii.

With its history and fate intimately connected to Rome. Visiting the excavations of Ostia Antica is like a walk through time. One of the many Civitavecchia tours available as a Half Day Tour or a Full Day Tour .

Colosseum private tour

Tour Description

Do you have just one day to visit Rome while on your cruise? 

Our VIP Rome Private Tour for Cruise Passengers has been designed just for you. 

See Rome in one day and get back on your ship in time for dinner!

A driver will be waiting for you at the port of Rome (Civitavecchia). He’ll carry a sign with your name, so you can recognize him easily. 

After a short journey (about 1 hour), you will reach the city center of Rome, where you’ll meet your private guide. 

1. City Center walk

Your VIP Rome Private Tour for Cruise Passengers will start in the historic city center.

The sprawling center of the Eternal City can feel like a labyrinth, but there’s no need to worry about getting lost in the maze of cobbled alleys.

Your professional guide will welcome you with a smile, and lead you on a journey through the treasures of Rome.

- Spanish Steps

You’ll start from one of the most famous sights – the Spanish Steps. 

One of the most elegant neighborhoods in Rome, the area around the Spanish Steps is also the main high-end shopping district in the historic center. 

The Valentino headquarters are here, and you can also find the stores of other famous designers, such as Dolce & Gabbana and Prada.

As you stroll through the streets, your guide will show you the Baroque wonders of the neighborhood. They’ll also tell you about the intellectuals who frequented this area in the 18th and 19th centuries, such as Stendhal, Lord Byron, John Keats, and Goethe. 

Why are the steps known as the “Spanish Steps”? No spoilers! Ask your guide – they’ll have all the answers. 

- Trevi Fountain

Next, you’ll visit the nearby Trevi Fountain – indisputably the most famous fountain in the world.

Your guide will reveal the hidden secrets of this iconic monument, and tell you the story of its construction. 

Don’t forget to bring a coin! If you want to come back to Rome, you’d better have one ready to throw in the basin. 

But what happens if you toss more than one coin? Ask your guide first, as you might regret it!

The last stop of your discovery walk is the Pantheon . This is one of the most remarkable places in Rome, and the best preserved Roman building in the world.  

Once a Roman temple, the Pantheon is now a Catholic church and a burial site for some of the most important people in the history of Italy, such as Raphael and King Victor Emmanuel. 

But why was it built, and when exactly? You’ll learn about the remarkable ancient Roman building techniques, and the challenges that the architects faced when lifting the gigantic granite columns of the facade. 

You’ll also marvel at the impressive dome, which was the biggest in the world for about 1,200 years, and is still the largest in Rome.

2. The Colosseum

Your VIP Rome Private Tour for Cruise Passengers will continue with a tour of the most famous sight in Rome – the Colosseum . 

You’ll have skip-the-line tickets, so you can enter as quickly as possible (though you might still have a short wait due to the security check).

As you explore the Colosseum, your private guide will tell you all about this gargantuan amphitheater, built by the emperor Vespasian almost 2,000 years ago. 

What was it used for, and for how long? Who were the gladiators, and what were their lives like?

Ask as many questions as you want – that’s the advantage of a private tour!

After your Colosseum tour, you’ll probably have worked up an appetite.

Rome is not only famous for its historical buildings, but also for its fantastic traditional cuisine. That’s why this tour includes a one-hour lunch break.

Your guide will happily recommend an authentic local restaurant where you can try some of the most popular Roman pasta dishes, such as Amatriciana, Carbonara or Cacio e Pepe. 

Once you’ve had a rest and refueled, you’ll be ready to continue your exploration of Rome in the afternoon. 

3. The Vatican Museum

The next stop of your VIP Rome Private Tour for Cruise Passengers is the Vatican Museum. 

This is one of the most remarkable museums in the world, and it’s a masterpiece of architecture in itself. 

Once the palace of the popes, this building has been open to the public since the 18th century. 

Ever since, visitors have flocked to the Vatican from across the world to admire the countless masterpieces, displayed in palatial rooms and grand galleries.

The Vatican Museum is a Renaissance triumph, designed and decorated by some of the most important artists of all time, such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Bramante, and many others. 

After walking through the famous Pinecone Courtyard and the Galleries (Candelabra, Tapestries, and Maps), you’ll visit the Sistine Chapel. 

- Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel is the most famous chapel in the world. 

It was first decorated by important Renaissance artists from the late 15th century, such as Perugino, Botticelli and Ghirlandaio. 

But it truly became a Renaissance icon after the addition of Michelangelo’s masterpieces – the ceiling frescoes and the “Last Judgment” on the altar wall.

Your guide will point out the details of these extraordinary artworks, and tell you the story of the tormented genius that created them. 

- St. Peter's Basilica

The last stop of your Rome Private Tour for Cruise Passengers will be St. Peter’s Basilica , the biggest and most important Catholic church in the world. 

Your guide will help you skip the line (which you can do only with a guide) and enter through one of the gigantic doors. 

You will admire the shiny gold of the ceilings, the tons of marbles, and the square miles of mosaics used to decorate this unique building. 

Also, you will see the Pietà by Michelangelo and the Canopy by Bernini , two of the most famous masterpieces of Renaissance and Baroque art. 

Your Rome Private Tour for Cruise Passengers will end in St. Peter’s Square, the epitome of Baroque architecture built right where St. Peter was crucified upside down. 

From the square, your guide will take you back to the car, so you can reach your ship in plenty of time.

If you only have one day in Rome, why waste it with a standard group tour? Take advantage of our VIP service, and book our Private Rome Tour.

Rome was not built in a day, but we can show you the best of it in just a few hours. 

The Vatican management might decide to close the Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, or any other part of the museum without giving notice to anyone. It happens rarely, but it could happen. We’ll do our best to integrate what you will eventually not see with something else equally interesting. 

The order of the sights may change for logistical reasons .

You MUST bring an ID, a passport or a driver’s license to enter the sights.

Your knees and shoulders must be covered to enter the Vatican and the Pantheon.

This is the price for groups from one to six people. If you have more people in your group, please let us know and we’ll create a customized price.​​

Pick up at the port will be done only if your ship docks in CIVITAVECCHIA. If your ship is docking elsewhere, please let us know and we’ll create a customized itinerary for you.

ROME SEA PORT – Civitavecchia Cruise Tours and Transfers

tours of rome from cruise port

Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs , Rome’s leading company for Rome seaport transfers and tours.

Rome’s seaport is located in the city of Civitavecchia (literally means “ ancient town ”), about 37 miles northwest of the city of Rome.    Civitavecchia is old indeed…. The modern-day city was constructed on top of a pre-existing ancient Etruscan settlement, and the harbor was founded by Roman Emperor Trajan in the early 2nd century AD .

Each year, Civitavecchia welcomes more than 2,000 ferries and cruise ships for almost 2 million passengers – thus ranking as the 3rd busiest cruise port in the Mediterranean . 

Civitavecchia is a major departure port for various cruisers,  as well as a popular stop for shore excursions on European and Mediterranean cruises with itineraries in Italy (as well as Livorno and Naples cruise ports).

When departing, arriving or docking in Civitavecchia, you will likely require transfers to and from your Cruise Ship , or Shore Excursions (Sea Port Tours) from your Cruise Ship to enjoy a day exploring the region.

TRANSFERS TO AND FROM THE ROME SEAPORT IN CIVITAVECCHIA

Rome Sea Port Civitavecchai Cruise Tours and Transfers_RomeCabs Civitavecchia Transfer Services

Possibilities for private Civitavecchia transfers to and from Rome seaport in Civitavecchia include:

  • FCO / Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia (if you arrive in Italy on the same day your ship departs from the Rome seaport)
  • Rome to Civitavecchia (if you will be staying in Rome pre-cruise)
  • Civitavecchia to Rome (if you will be staying in Rome post -cruise)
  • Civitavecchia to FCO / Fiumicino Airport (if you will be departing on a flight on the same day your ship arrives at the Rome seaport)
  • 10 Reasons to book your Civitavecchia Shore Excursions with RomeCabs

Stefano’s RomeCabs offer private transfers between FCO Airport and Civitavecchia , as well as between Rome and Civitavecchia . You simply book online and you are all set! You have nothing more to worry about.

Below are some helpful tips when booking Rome Sea Port - Civitavecchia Cruise Tours and Transfers in Italy.

  • How NOT to MISS YOUR SHIP in Civitavecchia

FCO / Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia

(if you arrive in Italy on the same day your ship departs from the Rome sea port)

Rome Sea Port Civitavecchia Cruise Tours and Transfers_Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia Transfer RomeCabs

On average, it takes up to 1 hour for most passengers to exit the airport after clearing customs and collecting their luggage.

Travel time from Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia is about 1 Hour .

If your only option is to arrive in Italy on the same day as your cruise departs, choose a flight that arrives in the morning to allow you extra time in case you miss your flight, experience flight delays, or experience delays in customs or baggage claims.

If you cut your arrival time too close to your ship's departure time, any small delay can place you at risk of missing your ship.

  • 7 WAYS to Book Your PERFECT Civitavecchia Transfers

Rome to Civitavecchia

(if you will be staying in Rome pre-cruise)

On average, it takes about 1.5 hours to travel from Rome to Civitavecchia.

The most recommended pick-up times from Rome to Civitavecchia are between 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM .

By leaving Rome too early in the morning (such as before 11 AM ) you arrive too early at your ship and they may not be ready for embarkation yet. The pier area is not a convenient place to wait.

By leaving Rome too late in the afternoon (such as after 1 PM ), you risk arriving too late to your ship if you experience any unpredictable traffic delays in and around Rome, or on your way to Civitavecchia.

  • Easy CIVITAVECCHIA Transfers: WHERE HOW WHEN

Civitavecchia to Rome

(if you will be staying in Rome post-cruise)  

If you are going to Rome post-cruise, the most recommended pick-up time from the cruise ship is 8:00 – 9:00 AM as most cruisers are disembarked during that time frame.

Civitavecchia to FCO / Fiumicino Airport (if you will be departing on a flight on the same day your ship arrives at the Rome seaport) To avoid risks of missing your flight, it is recommended to book flights out of Fiumicino Airport no earlier than 11:00 AM to allow enough safe time in case your ship docks late, or if you encounter any traffic delays on your way to FCO Airport.

Has anyone else done this without booking the RC excursion? I’m wondering how easy/expensive it is to get from the port into the city, store our luggage, see the city ourselves for the day then get ourselves to the airport.

Any tips would be welcome.

If you take the train or a bus on your own, and drop your luggage off at the storage facility in there Termini train station, then sight see on your own, it would be cheaper than the excursion you mentioned -- but the excursion you described certainly sounds convenient.
