Cruise transfers Fiumicino Airport & Civitavecchia cruise port

In February 2019 a new service was launched called the Civitavecchia Express. This service is designed for cruise passengers, as it connects Civitavecchia with Roma San Pietro and Roma Ostiense stations. Civitavecchia station is about a mile from the cruise port but there are plenty of taxis and a local bus available to take you there.

Although this train is mainly designed for visiting Rome and returning to the port on the same day, you could also use it as a transfer tour by visiting Rome and then taking a train from central Rome to Rome Fiumicino Airport. You will have to consider your luggage and what you intend to do in Rome before contemplating taking this solution.

Currently the Civitavecchia Express service runs only four daily journeys. Two in the morning, bound for Rome and two in the afternoon bound for Civitavecchia. The timetable was thought out to meet the needs of many cruise travellers who wish to visit Rome in a day. The train times are quicker and more reliable than the commuter trains, allowing an easier and with guaranteed seating, more comfortable transfer into Rome.

For day trips this should work well, but if you are staying in a hotel overnight or longer then you need to also consider that the stations visited by the Civitavecchia Express are not in the centre of Rome, so will require a taxi, metro or bus to take you the rest of the way.

You can walk from Roma San Pietro to the Vatican in about 15 minutes or take a taxi but if you have plenty of luggage you may not find this so appealing. Again you can use the Roma Ostiense station and transfer to the Metro to then reach Rome Termini but you'll have to carry luggage across platforms.

If Rome Termini is your final destination and your staying longer than one day, you may consider using the slower commuter trains that go directly to the Termini station from Civitavecchia. You can though use the two stations visited by the Civitavecchia Express as a jumping point into the rest of Rome, either through walking, taxi, bus or metro, as your journey time there will be much quicker.

The Civitavecchia Express does offer a good solution for travellers from cruise ships who want to visit Rome in a day and for those travellers who travel light and appreciate a quicker and more reliable service with guaranteed seats.
