Book a transfer from Rome to Civitavecchia — from the Eternal City to its main cruise port, the busiest in the Mediterranean and the embarkation point for major cruise lines sailing to destinations across southern Europe and beyond.
The 80 km journey takes 1 to 1.5 hours heading northwest via the A12 motorway along the Tyrrhenian coast, passing through the Roman countryside before arriving at the ancient port city that has served Rome since the time of Emperor Trajan.
Civitavecchia is Rome's historic port — a bustling cruise terminal and ferry hub that has connected the Eternal City to the Mediterranean for nearly 2,000 years. The port handles over 2.5 million cruise passengers annually, making it the busiest in the Mediterranean and a crucial embarkation point for cruises to Barcelona, Naples, the Greek islands, and beyond. The Forte Michelangelo — a 16th-century fortress designed by Bramante and Michelangelo — guards the harbor entrance. The old town offers a pleasant seaside promenade, the National Archaeological Museum with Etruscan and Roman artifacts, and excellent seafood restaurants along the waterfront. For cruise passengers, the port offers modern terminals with efficient boarding facilities and easy access to Rome for pre- or post-cruise city exploration.
