Arrival in Civitavecchia

Costa Magica arrived in Civitavecchia just after sunrise, at about 7:40 a.m.

While we had breakfast and waited to go ashore, our bags were offloaded and sorted alphabetically in one of Civitavecchia's cruise terminals.

Disembarkation was efficient and surprisingly quick. Soon after finishing breakfast, we were able to leave the ship, claim our bags, and catch the free shuttle bus to the port entrance.

From the port, we walked about 10 minutes to the Civitavecchia railroad station, past the new "kissing couple" statue on Civitavecchia's waterfront promenade.

We then bought our tickets to Roma Termini in the railroad station, validated the tickets in a yellow stamping machine, and boarded a commuter train for the trip into Rome.
