Starting a Thomson"Italian Flavours" cruise next week, which includes a stop at Civitavacchia, for a visit to Rome. We tend not to use onboard excursions, whenever possible, and do trips ourselves or with other similar minded passengers.
Can anyone provide good advice regarding the most economic way of getting from this port to Rome and back, maximising our time in Rome. I gather that the coach transfer is long and tedious, that there is a train service, but that current building work at the south side of the port has created problems in getting to the station. Also best ways of seeing as much of Rome in the time available. We arrive in port at 7am and leave at 7pm.
