Yes, the Civitavecchia Express is a seasonal service.

 

You shouldn't have a problem making the train, it leaves pretty late.  You may wind up cooling your heels waiting for it, depending on the time of your ship arrival.

 

Which station to use in Rome depends on what you're going to see.  For the Vatican area, the first stop (San Pietro) is best.  For the Colosseum and Roman Forum area the second stop (Ostiense) is better.

Thanks  Euro cruiser. That's great.

Hi,

I've not used this forum before, so patience please !

Reading through this thread, am I right in thinking that this new service is seasonal & won't start again until April ?

Did anyone who used the Express train last year experience any difficulties getting to the station in time, allowing for the fact that both a port shuttle & a separate bus to the station are needed ?

Which is the better station in Rome to get to the major sites easily ?

Thanks for any info.

I'm thinking of booking a P & O cruise going to look for the Northern Lights in Nov 2019.

In the itinerary info it says that "no snow-based excursions will operate on autumn sailings"

Is November considered to be autumn ?

Is there likely to be snow in November ? (This cruise goes to Tromso & Alta)

Will P & O possibly add snow-based activities to their itinerary at the last minute depending on weather conditions, by which point I may have booked other excursions ?

Does anyone have any information on similar cruises ?

Thanks
