Nieuw Statendam inaugural cruise

We are flying to Rome from Toronto, Canada. If you wanted to stay a couple days in Rome, what is recommended hotel and how do you get to Citevichia Port.

In terms of getting to the port there are several companies that you can use that provide drivers and vehicles. One we use is rome cabs at http://www.romecabs.com

There are so many options. Have a read through the Europe-Italy board. There are many many worthwhile threads with good information. Enjoy your trip!

In May we went to Rome from Toronto. We booked a hotel in Civitaveccia and they picked us up at the airport, took us to the hotel and then 2 days later took us to the ship, which is only a very short ride to the pier. If you're staying at a hotel in Rome first, then I would recommend Rome In Limo for your transfer to the port, which you can book online before your leave Toronto. We've done Rome, so we like to spend some time in Civitaveccia prior to the cruise.

Twice when we have been in Rome we have stayed at The Fifteen Keys Hotel on Via Urbana in the Monti district. We loved this hotel. It was perfectly located on a quiet street but close to everything. We walked to most major sites. The hotel is spotless, staff wonderful and helpful and the breakfast they provide is delicious with lots of choices.

To get to the port of Civitavecchia we took a limo. We shared with another couple who were staying in the hotel who were on our cruise's roll call. Sorry, can't remember the name.

Come on over to the Italy board, here:

for dozens of discussions on Rome, with all the info you will ever need.

Do your ember the name of hotel in Civitaveccia and what company picked you up at the airport?

Perhaps you would be wise to work with a travel agent.

We have spent pre-cruise days in Civitavecchia several times. We stay at the La Casa Sul Mare, which is a boutique inn (9 rooms) Located convenient to the RR station and cruise dock. They can arrange transfer to/from the airport (FCO) and can also arrange day tours to Rome of several kinds. We always stay 1 or 2 days precruise wherever the embarkation port is. Located.

I found train information to/from cruise port to Rome, but I have not used it myself yet. Can anyone else comment on this.

The info is solid (as it the info on the Italy board, kinked above). The biggest piece of advice is if you buy tickets in advance, do so at the trenitalia website. That is the best prices. But 3-4 months in advance when they are first released.

For any transfer from Fiumicino Airport in Rome , the town of Fiumicino , or from hotel in Rome to the ship into the cruise port of Civitavecchia I can recommend Bob's limousines http://www.romelimousines.com and you can either get your own group of 6 together from the same of different hotels or just book to "share " a transfer and they will form a group for the van . Have done it about 5 times and never had a problem . If the website is confusing to you call the US number on the site or email and they get back to you fast . Bob works between the US and Italy .

The hotel we had once in Civitavecchia was San Giorgio was excellent , I know they can pick you up at the airport but it is much costlier .

For hotel in Rome to be in a nice and safe area where you can walk to a lot of the sights in Rome or connect easy onto the Metro we stayed three times at Roma Boutique Hotel , a small hotel excellent service and very clean http://www.romaboutiquehotel.com . They can also organize a private pick up for you from Fiumicino Airport to the Hotel at almost the same price of a taxi .

Hope this helps you !
