CintiPam Posted August 16, 2014 #52 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Taking train from Rome to Civitavecchai train station.Is there a shuttle or bus or taxi to go to train to port entrance? Thanks There is a shuttle bus from the port entrance to your ship; there also is a bus that runs from the train station to the port entrance for about 1 Euro I believe.

puffy Posted August 20, 2014 #53 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The bus fare is .80 euro from drop off parking lot to train station. There are also big tour bus round trip to rome I think it is 25 eruo, I am not sure. We use share shuttle from Rome hotel to ship port, it is 75 Euro in total. The company is shareshuttle and service is excellent. We only have 2 people, driver arrived early to our hotel with mercedes Van. When we returned to Rome after cruise, we took train and it was not bad. We bought brig ticket and cost 12 euro with 24 hours free transportation include bus and metro. It worth .80 euro, it was hot in Rome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted August 20, 2014 #54 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Do you recall the name of the shuttle company and how many passengers they required for the cost to be 25 euros pp? We shared with folks from our toll call so I don't remember the name of the company. There were 6 of us in the van. Sorry I can't be more help.

euro cruiser Posted August 20, 2014 Author #56 Share Posted August 20, 2014 To Cathy's point, it's slightly less expensive (11 Euro vs. 12 for the BIRG) to purchase a one-way regional ticket to Rome (5 Euro) plus an all day bus/tram/metro BIG ticket (6 Euro). Also, please note that these are all-day tickets, NOT 24-hour ones. They expire at midnight on the day they are activated, regardless of whether that activation happened at one minute after midnight or one minute before midnight.

Anybody been there in the last couple of weeks? Is it possible yet to walk from the ship directly to the train station and vice-versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syesmar Posted August 22, 2014 #60 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I was there 3 weeks ago. Civitavecchia is a huge port. While I can't speak to each situation, I've been in port there a number of times & on no occasion would we have been able to walk from the ship to the station. Have a great trip!

Right. if you're planning to use the metro and buses then it's not much of a difference but I think a lot of people don't use either and it seems a shame to pay for something you're not going to use.

Which is why the port run a free shuttle from ship to port entrance. From the normal (which is currently under construction) entrance to the port to the C'ccia train station is a level 4 block walk; and hundreds of people do this to go to and from their sailings.

puffy Posted August 24, 2014 #63 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I just return from cruise last thursday, I took the free ship shuttle to new drop off point, then take the city bus to train station. It seems to me a long walk to the station. I am not sure about walking , but it is hot even in early morning. Brig ticket is worth it for us because we stay overnight and visit many place after cruise. You have to use more than 4 times to get money worth and that is what we did.

Wansbrough Posted August 24, 2014 #64 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I was there 3 weeks ago. You might recognise the old drop off point below. The new one if the signs are to be believed is a short walk up the road. You can just see the fort at the back of the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syesmar Posted August 24, 2014 #65 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Wansbrough, Is this where the port shuttle dropped you off? I only saw this stop on the way back (from the street above----there's a staircase right by this stop). And I did see it picking up passengers. For those who haven't been there recently, this stop in the photo is through the gate by the old shuttle drop off and up the road, not too far down. But we weren't dropped there in the morning. We were dropped quite a ways down/up the road to connect with the local bus. Just curious if others have been dropped at the stop in the photo.

I only wandered down there to see if I could see what was going on. We embarked the next day but at the terminal at the other end of the port which RCI and Celebrity use and used a shuttle provided by our hotel.

ScriptOhio Posted August 27, 2014 #69 Share Posted August 27, 2014 FWIW, (even though this is a few years old) check out page 3 on this link: PLANIMETRIA del porto dal 2000 al 2010 translation: FLOOR PLAN of the port from 2000 to 2010 http://www.shortsea.fr/MOSTEUROPE_PORTCIVITAVECCIA.html This looks like a major construction project; and if that's what they are still doing, they are already years behind schedule. :p More information; see links at "Cruise terminal", "Sea highway", and "Second lot of Strategic works": http://www.port-of-rome.org/en/front_progettien/civitavecchia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcmv Posted August 28, 2014 #70 Share Posted August 28, 2014 @ScriptOhio: WOW - what a masterplan! Thanks for sharing - as a result of this, I think in the future we will never find a drop off point near the fortress anymore ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navy60wife Posted September 7, 2014 #71 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well, yes the walk is easy, but when you are doing a port call and trying to catch a train for Rome, the walk takes forever. You must walk briskly! Also, if you are doing this walk on a hot day it makes a difference. I would not want to be hauling suitcases either! If you are just "out for a walk" then it is great! Otherwise the walk is long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crockett Man Posted September 15, 2014 #74 Share Posted September 15, 2014 What if you’re using a purchased transfer, either through the cruise line or private company, from the port to Fiumicino airport? Are they presently picking up passengers directly at the ships or do you have to take the port shuttle to the pier entrance and meet your transfer there? Anyone have any recent knowledge on this as I will be debarking at Civitavecchia on November 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted September 15, 2014 #75 Share Posted September 15, 2014 For transfers, you can be picked up right at the ship. There is more room there than at the exits! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
