Civitavecchia is Rome's cruise port, on the coast about 70 km by road northwest of the centre: roughly an hour's drive outside rush hour. Most cruise passengers either come from a Rome hotel or straight from Fiumicino Airport, and do the same in reverse at the end of the cruise. This page covers both directions.

Private transfer from Rome or Fiumicino to the cruise port
With cruise luggage, a train plus a walk or shuttle across the port is hard work, and missing embarkation is not an option. A booked car picks you up at your hotel or in arrivals at Fiumicino and drops you at your ship's terminal. Welcome Pickups lists transfers to and from Civitavecchia port on its Rome page; you can book a Rome to Civitavecchia transfer for the date and time you need.
Civitavecchia port to Rome or Fiumicino Airport
On disembarkation day, book the transfer from the port as its own trip and leave a wide margin before a flight: ships dock early, but getting off can take time, and the motorway into Rome is busy in the morning. Give the driver your ship's name so they meet you at the right terminal.
