Best way from port into Rome

[roomiec]

Any ideas about the most economical/expeditious way to get from the port into the heart of Rome?

We'll be on a B2B and will have a full day to explore.

I just located this website. There is a video that shows how to get to the train station.

Be sure to visit the Italy Ports Of Call Board where you can get lots of advice.

J&M...just checked your link.

What a great resource.

 

Thanks.

Looks like we'll take the train.

roomie,

I also saw on the cruise critic board that there is a free shuttle bus from the cruise ships to the train station. Makes it easier than dragging your luggage that distance. Enjoy your cruise, we will be there in November.

We were on a B2B and our change day was in Venice. We were waiting at the gangplank for the all clear, and were the first people off the ship. Unfortunately the immigration people weren't ready for us, and we ended up waiting in the terminal for 20 minutes. Hopefully Civatavechia will be more organized.

 

There are different options between the local the fast train and the express, and the quicker you get to Rome, the higher the fare goes. You can get schedules here: http://www.fsitaliane.it/homepage_en.html

 

Windstar will want you back on board no later than an hour prior to sailing, they would prefer you were back two hours ahead. Keep this in mind when planning your day, and leave time for a transportation snafu.

 

Do NOT forget to validate your ticket in the yellow box prior to boarding if you take the local on a BIRG ticket. Not doing so could result in a very steep fine.
