Reserve your room in Rome.
Venere, Italy's #1 discount booking organization, lists hundreds of hotels, B&Bs, apartments, and other accommodations in Rome--including Fiumicino airport hotels.


Civitavecchia is the seaport for Rome, Italy. The city is about 1 hour 10 minutes from Rome's Termini Station by commuter train, and Leonardo da Vinci Airport at Fiumicino is 45-60 minutes from the cruise terminal by coach transfer or taxi.

On the Wind Surf's Marseille-Rome cruise, Civitavecchia was the final port. The ship arrived at 7 a.m., and passengers disembarked in groups according to their flight times. All guests were asked to leave the ship by 8:30 a.m. so the crew could get ready for the next cruise.

Civitavecchia is overshadowed by Rome, and to most cruisers, it's simply a turnaround port. However, the city has a long history and is blessed with its share of tourist attractions. It's also a gateway to other places of interest along the coast, such as the Etruscan tombs at Tarquinia and the thermal baths of La Ficonella. Ferries to Sardinia depart from Civitavecchia.

For tourist information, visit Civitavecchia.com or the English-language Civitavecchia section of the Porto di Roma Web site. If you're flying through Leonardo da Vinci International Airport at Fiumicino or Rome's smaller Ciampino Airport, get terminal maps and other practical advice at Aeroporti di Roma. And if you need hotel information for Rome or Fiumicino, see our Rome accommodations guide and Rome airport hotel listings at Europe for Visitors.
