Civitavecchia Cruise Port (Rome) 10 Things YOU NEED to Know!

This is my full guide to visiting Civitavecchia cruise port, Rome’s main cruise port. If your cruise stops in Civitavecchia, this video explains how the port really works, how to get to Rome, what you can realistically see in one day, and when staying local makes more sense. Civitavecchia is often listed as “Rome” on cruise itineraries, but it’s a long way from the city and planning properly makes a huge difference. In this video, I cover the ten things you need to know about Civitavecchia on a cruise, including shuttles, trains, independent tours, getting around Rome, realistic itineraries, and important timing tips. I’ve cruised the Mediterranean multiple times and I’ve spent time both in Rome and exploring Civitavecchia itself, so this guide is based on real experience.
