Hi guys.... need help want to do R/T Atl - Rome (cheaper air fare) planing on doing NCL Spirit Venice to Barcelona. Need to take train from Rome - Venice and then Barcelona to Rome. I tried to plan air fare and it was 3 TIMES more expensive than the cruise fare. I'M hope this works out.

You can find prices and schedules.

 

ROMA to VENEZIA: Duration 3:48 Fare: 76 € pax

 

Barcelona to Rome is more complicated by train. Barcelona - Milán - Rome: very expensive and may hours...

I hope it works out for you. The major US website for buying European rail tickets seems to give US passengers poor prices. Going to other websites and putting nationality as US often bounces one back to raileurope. Of course if one enters, say, Canada or UK, the website may let one price and purchase (in English) tickets (printed on home computer or picked up at station).

one other thought, if the above websites do not help you with air prices, have you considered other gateway cities? London or Dublin, as gateways for your international flights, then discount European airlines for the one way flights? Be careful about baggage fees, though...they can add up fast on European airlines.
