sc1349 Posted May 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm new to cruising, not sure if this is a daft question or not but, how do we get from the airport in rome ( not sure if there's more than one ), to the port of Civitavecchia. We booked this holiday through our local travel agent and were under the impression there were coach transfers to and from the port but there's no confirmation of this on our booking form.

CruiserBruce Posted May 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2013 First, you need to confirm or deny you have transfers. Don't want to be double booking. Second, you will want to go over to the Italy board, where all the options are extensively discussed. Coming from another Europen country, you need to confirm what airport you are flighting into, as there are two airports you could fly into.

sc1349 Posted May 7, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Cheers Bruce mate, the airport is Rome FCO, will check with our travel agent, not sure if she was just fobbing us off with the transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If you need ground transport, here is the Italy board: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=595 You will find tons of info about ground transport there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted May 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2013 FCO is between Civitavecchia and Rome. It is about an hour or so from the port depending upon traffic. There are some very good private car companies that people recommend as reliable. You may wish to go to the port of call forum and read/ask there or you may wish to see if your TA can purchase airport transfer for you from your cruise line. If you booked your air through the cruise line, that would usually include transfer to the ship or hotel, if you booked that through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 8, 2013 #6 Share Posted May 8, 2013 FCO is between Civitavecchia and Rome. Not exactly. FCO is actually west and slightly south of Rome, on the coast. Civitavecchia is north of both Rome and FCO about an hour's drive. Think of it as a tall thin triangle, where Rome and FCO are the two base points, and Civi is at the top pointy end of the triangle.

sail7seas Posted May 8, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2013 No, it is not a clearly straight line but the point is approximate. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted May 8, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 8, 2013 We used BOBS LIMO a few months ago and they were charging 85 euros for two with a shared ride. The van was clean and new and the driver spoke English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted May 10, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 10, 2013 No, it is not a clearly straight line but the point is approximate. :) Huh? :) Actually, as the roads go, I thought FCO was between Rome and Civit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted May 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The fastest route (on the autostrada) from downtown Rome to Civitavecchia takes you within four miles of FCO airport. It's not the most direct route, but a straighter line on local roads would only save you about five miles (from a fifty mile trip). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted May 11, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Our travel agent set us up with a van that came to the hotel. About 30 Euros each for 3 of us. Took us to the dock. I think the company was Europe Essentials, but there are a lot of companies doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
