Went from Rome to Civitavecchia Cruise Port to board our Cruise ship and also back from the port to Rome.
There are shuttles, busses, trains and taxis as well that will to this trip. But we didn't want to have a long wait, we needed a reliable company to drop us in front of our vessel and also to pick us up right in front without wait and hassle on the way back.
So we chose this company, they work directly with the port authority, so their cars will have easy access into the port area right to your cruise ship. We booked many weeks in advance to make sure of our transportation. You also can book and/or organise a shared transfer with them if available.
We got picked up on time in Rome - the driver was even a bit early. Friendly guy. Got a minivan for the two of us - so plenty of space. Got to the port without problems in about 70mins.
On the way back the driver (not the same guy) was already there as well when we disembarked. Traffic was hell that day and all major streets in Rome completely jammed. The Driver took us around many side streets to save some time and we made it to the Train station way before our departure time. You just have to get used to the Italian driving style a bit. But we are in Italy a lot and do our own driving there as well, so no shock here for us.
The prices are a fixed rate, so no worries there. The shared transfers are a lot cheaper, the Private Transfer costs 200 Euros (plus tax). It's not cheap - but very well organised and convenient. You pay in advance or directly with your Driver.
Besides the a bit hefty price (which we knew about) we were very happy with our choice. read more
