Civitavecchia Port

About

Civitavecchia Port, often called the "Port of Rome", is a bustling maritime hub located 45 km north‑west of the Eternal City. With a history dating back to the Roman emperor Trajan, the port has evolved into the premier cruise terminal for Italy, handling more than 1.5 million passengers a year and serving as the main gateway to Rome and its surrounding historic sites. The port is divided into two main terminal zones. The Rome Cruise Terminal (RCT) caters to cruise ships and is the nerve centre of passenger operations, while the Autostrade del Mare (ADM) terminal handles ferry and cargo services. Both terminals are linked by a free shuttle network that provides rapid transfer between docks and the town centre. Civitavecchia offers a full range of services for travelers: authorized car‑transfer pickups directly from the ship, a dedicated parking complex with hourly, daily and weekly options, and a compact shuttle bus service that runs every 10‑15 minutes. From the port, visitors can easily reach Rome via train, bus or private transfer, making the port an ideal stop for tourists and cruise passengers alike. Beyond the logistical conveniences, the port’s proximity to historic Rome, its clear layout and the scenic view of the Mediterranean make it a convenient and pleasant experience for families, history enthusiasts and cruise travellers alike.
