This was the final port of call for my Viking cruise as we get of here to fly out from Rome, Italy. When we come back on board one last time, we have to walk though the terminal with all the duty free shop to get you spend your last of your Euro on hand. Just remember always walk all the way to the last shop and check the price of the items you may want to buy, most of the time the first shop at the entrance is the most expensive one. We were able to find some good last minute souvenir for friends and family here. It is a nice a little bit aged port. read more

This is a big port, but there's nothing to do in terms of walking anywhere. You'll have to book an excursion if you port here and get driven out to cool stuff, like Rome! It seems safe though, the staff was nice. read more

Came from Rome to board the "Odyssey of the Seas" this October. It's not the biggest or most modern port around, but was just fine. Depending on traffic it's a 70-90min drive away from Central Rome. It's quite common knowledge that this port is not in Rome itself. Which would be difficult, since Rome is not a city by the ocean. There are trains, shuttles and busses going to port and back to town. We chose a private transfer though, booked through the official port website. So the car drove directly to the Cruise Ship and also from the Cruise Ship back to town. Very convenient. We were here quite early around 9.30 with a boarding time of 12.30. But we were allowed to go inside the building at around 10am already. There was already a line, but only about 30-50 people yet. The line could have been organised a bit better, we were moved 2-3 times. But nothing too stressful. After 10am we were checking in upstairs in the building already. The security check organised by the Italian authorities was quick and smooth. There's a small shop with snacks and more upstairs in the waiting area. Also some restrooms and plenty of space to sit. Things moved quickly and we boarded the ship at around 11am already. It's not a fancy Cruise Port but does what it needs to. And it's organised well enough. On the way back our transport already waited for us - booked it weeks before cruising. Make sure you know how to get back to Rome (or any other city) when disembarking. Because there will be a lot more people than when embarking. Best to organise it before your cruise already. read more

This is a busy port, but well organized. When my husband and I cruised, one of our trips began from and ended at Civitavvechia, so we had both the embark and disembark experience here with RCI. Overall, it was a smooth experience. Prior to boarding the ship at the Port, we stayed at a hotel in Fiumicino. We stayed at Hotel Tiber and it was about a 45 minute drive to the Civitavecchia Port. We allowed for enough time to enjoy a scenic drive over there, and we got there on time. When our trip concluded and we disembarked at the Port, it was easy to go through local customs and get to our port-airport transfer arrangements. I would travel through here again. read more

The port was built in the 2nd century & some original features still remain. The Roman Dock, the 16th century Michelangelo Fort and the nearby National Archaeological Museum displaying ancient bronze & ceramic artifacts. North east of the port or the Terme Taurine, The ruins of a Roman thermal bath complex. This is a very busy port, it's well organized and they offer complimentary shuttle bus service. Four cruise ships with about 10,000 passengers came in and out of the port today along with many freighters. It's about a :15 walk to the station & an hour rail to Walk the main Rome stop. There are no Ubers, some taxi stands @ machines to purchase train tickets. read more

Having been to Rome many times, we decided to stay in Civitavecchia port and explore. A low key "real Italian" experience. Had risotto porcini and spaghetti carbonara for lunch at Caffe Morra... delicious. We walked around and did some shopping. Farmers market was charming, several department-like stores offered good prices on clothing, and good sales. read more

An amazing Mediterranean Cruise, one of the stops was Rome which was my 2nd visit this trip. Took the Holland America train directly to the Vatican for a visit to the Sistene. Nifty tip...HAL has its own train for their passengers. Fair price for round trip Civitavecchia to the Sistene. Fantastic day as the Pope had his usual Wednesday audience so the buzz around the Vatican was humming. Gorgeous day for a walk up the 608 steps to the cupola of St. Peter's Basilica. I'm dead now so I'm writing this from beyond. Haha, it was a great time and an obnoxious workout but worth the view. read more

Since there was no Yelp page for the actual port, I'll use the Yelp page with the majority of reviews. We came here for a cruise. The city was small and everything was in walking distance from each other. There was a view of the waterfront and some photo opportunities. The train station was pretty close to the downtown part of this city. The place where the shuttle bus took us to the port terminal was maybe a 20-minute walk but it wasn't bad. It gave us the opportunity to walk through the city from a different route as we walked back to the train station. read more

This is a huge post with a lot of ships moving in and out every day. When we arrived by cruise ship we had to take a shuttle into town. Most people go to Rome which is what we did. We caught a train at the train station which was very nice. read more

Harassment and discrimination was my experience at this Cruise Port. I was harassed and discriminated against for almost two hours by a Customs Official. Port not recommended--not worth the aggravation and it ruins a trip. And, there was no one to report this issue to and I searched for months. USA could not help. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect. I think most people are only going to venture over to Civitavecchia if they are going on a cruise or it's one of their stops on a cruise. Regardless, I was actually more impressed with Civitavecchia then I thought I would be. We arrived early from Rome airport and after a few hours of sleep, were ready to hit the town. The beach seemed to be the focal point and whereas rocky, there were quite a few people playing in the water. The city was having a big outdoor festival that evening. Not sure if that is common but it was nice to listen to some live music and check out the local scene. There are a few shops and tons of open air restaurants within walking distance of the city center. If you are going to the port, it's actually a fair distance to walk so get shuttle service from your hotel. The train station is fairly basic. I think it was about 11 euros to go into Rome's main station. read more

Free Wifi around the port, What?? Just register real quick after connecting to the local wifi. P.S. - The McDonald's by the port supposedly has wifi but when we asked they said no free wifi. Peaceful little town near the Civitavecchia Port where our Mediterranean cruise embarked/disemarked at. read more

We got off our cruise ship with no sign of our tour group to Rome. We decided to take the shuttle bus to a parking lot where you catch another bus to the train station. An attendant at the parking lot called our tour group and we discovered that we had to meet our tour leader at the train station. Apparently, this parking lot was brand new because construction at the nearby waterfront ancient Fort Michaelangelo unearthed a World War II unexploded bomb, which resulted in the original shuttle bus parking lot being moved further from the train station. When we returned later in the day, the shuttle bus parking lot had evidently been moved back to its original spot which eliminated the second bus to and from the train station. Thus, we had to walk about 15 minutes from the train station to the shuttle bus parking lot to get back to the ship. read more

Can you remember how to spell or pronounce Civitavecchia? I went on a cruise of the Mediterranean that started and ended at this port.

Small town that doesn't offer that much and as always the service in particular places still doesn't bother to learn good English
