Civitavecchia Travel Forum

what are the best local resturants to eat at in Civitavecchia. Is there somewhere with a good PIZZA???

We are in the process of renting a van through a limo company our travel agent recommended because the RCCL transportation option is full. The limo company has quoted 145 euros. Currently there are 4 of us. I assume the van will hold more but am checking on the capacity. We arrive FCO on 10/4/09 at 10:45am. Let me know if you are interested in sharing a ride and the expense.

Does anyone have a suggestion for "less expensive" ways to transfer from port to FCO airport? We need to leave at 8 am on October 30 (from Celebrity Solstice) to reach FCO for a 12:30pm flight. Online companies are very expensive. My husband and I are willing to share a ride if anyone is interested.

We are "arriving" at the Civitavecchia port at 9:00 am and want to catch the 9:22 train from CV to Rome Termini. We don't know how long it takes to disembark, then walk the 10 or 15 minutes to the train station. Should we take the next train instead? There are 4 of us.

We are taking the Train from Termini to Civitavecchia station. But I can't find information on how far the train station is from the pier, and whether it is walking distance or if we have to take a taxi. We are going to Pier 12.

Can someone tell us how to get from the train station to the pier the quickest way, and how many minutes that is? Thanks!!

My husband and I will be leaving the Navigator of the Sea on 10/4/09 and looking for someone to share a taxi from the ship to the train station in Civitavecchia or a shuttle van into Rome.

My husband and I are celebrating our 40th anniversary on this trip.

My daughter and I want to share a ride from the airport to Civitavecchia. We will be arriving on July 16 (our cruise starts 7/17). I am also looking for a hotel in Civitavecchia for 7/16. Can anyone recommend a hotel and transsportation?

We are arriving in Civitavecchia on 8th August 2009 and plan a days excursion into Rome.

We are in a party of 6 however one member of the party is wheelchair bound but can transfer to a car seat. The only suitable cruise excursion is a 5 hour coach trip, only 45 minutes of which is free time before a 0.8km walk back to the bus.

Does anybody know how much it would cost to hire a private taxi/shuttle bus for the day?

Would we be able to manage by train...do the stations have elevators for disabled passengers ? Is Rome a wheelchair friendly city or a nightmare?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is anyone catching the Equinox cruise out of Civitavecchia on the 13th September and would like to share transport to the port of Civitavecchia from Rome airport,the day before, the 12th. And we could stay overnight in the port and have time to look around it, before catching the cruise. There are two of us : I and my wife. It seems that Hotel MiramarE is OK to spent one night at Civitavecchia city.
We are arriving, the 12th, at Rome Airport(called Fiumicino) at 7:25 am, flight 675 from Alitalia Airlines.
Than you

We're arriving at Fiumicino on July 5 from DC at about 8:30 pm and heading straight for the port. If you happen to be arriving around the same time, let us know and maybe we can split a cab or car.

email me at greggiebaba@yahoo.com or reply on this site.

Hello, I am leaving on the carnival cruise leaving from Civitaveccia on 10/15 with my mother. We will be staying near the airport the night before the cruise and in Rome several days after the cruise (10/27). I am looking to see if anyone would like to share the cost of a private car from a hotel by the airport before the cruise and to Rome center after the cruise. Please just leave me a reply or ask for my email address. Thanks and Bon Voyage!

I tried to look up the train schedule from Civitavecchia to Rome on the Trenitalia website but I could only find one train schedule. This doesn't sound right. Does anyone know how to look up the train schedule?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if its possible to take the train from Rome's Fiumicino airport to Civitavecchia without having to go via the Main train station in Rome?

Hi,

I will be arriving in Civitavecchia by car. I can easily find the direction to teh Port; however, the port is quite large. Where exactly is the terminal where you do a check-in for a Princess Cruise?

When you look at Google Maps, you can see a large cruise ship at the end of the long pier, but I don't expect that you report directly on-board.

I guess if take a transfer, you don't need to know, but I am driving myself. I hope that some who was there already can help.

thanks

Is anyone willing to share a shuttle from Rome airport on September 6, 2009 to Civitavecchia? My sister and I will be traveling on a cruise on September 6 and would like to share a shuttle.

Transfers between the Rome airport (FCO) and the Civitavecchia port can be a bit pricey. The lowest taxi fare for 2 persons is about 100 euro (US$133), but the same taxi (new big comfortable MiniVan) can transport up to 4 persons, for the same price. They also have larger vehicles which carry up to 8 persons.

Would you like to share a taxi before or afer the cruise?

We arrive at FCO on 9/18/09 at 2:40PM. We're cruising on the Celibrity Solstice at 6PM.

We'll return to Civitavecchia port on 9/28/09 at 4:AM.
Our flight leaves from FCO at 9:25AM.

If you would like to reduce your transfer costs and the times above suit you, please let me know and I'll order a suitable vehicle and we'll all share in the cost.

What is the best way for my husband and I to get from FCO to the cruise port in Civitaveecchia? We are "young senior citizens" with one checked luggage and two carry-ons? We have never been to Europe. We should arrive November 15 around 8:00 a.m. Approximately how long does it take to get through customs? Our ship boards around 3:00 p.m. We would like a short tour of Rome but doubt if we have time or it would be worth the added expense. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Would appreciate information on bus or train travel from Firenze to Civavecchia. I am planning to take the ferry to Barcelona on 20/7.

What is the approximate driving time from the Port of Civitavecchia?
I'm trying to plan for a shuttle pickup time to take us to the FCO airport.

I am arriving in Civitavecchia aboard a HAL ship and would like to know how to get from the ship to the auto rental office.

Hope you guys can help me....I was originally thinking of taking train to Rome and getting off at Termini, then taking Metro to Colosseum/Palatine. Then someone told me I could take the train to Ostiense and then go to Colosseum station....I have a Frommers guidebook that show the Metropolitana and those two routes are different. The one I am thinking about looks like it goes past Vatican to the Termini. The one they say looks like it comes from the Airport (opposite direction). So, if I am coming on the train from Civitavecchia....is there a different stop or something that I need to take to come in from the Ostiense direction? Does any of this make sense? I would appreciate your help! Barb

Is anyone catching the Equinox cruise out of Civitavecchia on the 26th September and would like to share transport to the port of Civitavecchia from Rome airport? Or even the day before, the 25th, and we could stay overnight in the port and have time to look around it before catching the cruise. There are two of us.

We would like to share transportation from Rome to the Civitavecchia for the Oceania Nautica. We have not confirmed a Rome hotel at this time, but would love suggestions about transportation and accommodations.

Has anyone taken the train from the port in Civitavecchia to Rome central ?
Can you please offer some advice or guidance. Is it better to take a mini bus ? is there such a service.

Thanks,
Walter
