Rome: Private Precruise & Transfer (Civitavecchia port)
Features
Overview
The Most Exclusive Way to Reach Your Ship
Don’t let your embarkation day be a "wasted" travel day. Whether you are starting from your Rome Hotel or arriving at Fiumicino (FCO) Airport, our Private Pre-Cruise Experience is designed to maximize your time. We take care of the logistics—securing your luggage in a luxury Mercedes vehicle—while you enjoy a curated 3-hour tour of Rome’s most iconic landmarks. We conclude the journey by driving you directly to your ship’s gangway at Civitavecchia Port.
Service Options & Pickup Logistics
-
From Your Rome Hotel: Your chauffeur meets you directly in the lobby. This is the perfect way to see those final Roman sites you didn't have time for during your stay.
-
From FCO Airport: Your chauffeur meets you in the Arrivals Hall with a personalized name sign. If your flight lands in the morning, this is the best way to avoid hours of waiting at a terminal.
The Experience: 3 Hours of Roman Magic
While your luggage remains safe and secure in the vehicle, you will explore the "Eternal City" in style. Since this is a private tour, the itinerary is fully customizable. Popular stops include:
-
The Colosseum & Circus Maximus: Iconic views of Ancient Rome’s grandeur.
-
The Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps: Capture that perfect "wish in the fountain" photo.
-
The Pantheon & Piazza Navona: Marvel at Roman engineering and Baroque art.
-
Gianicolo Hill: The secret spot for the most breathtaking panoramic view of the entire city skyline.
The "Pier-Side" Advantage
Navigating the Port of Civitavecchia can be confusing and exhausting with heavy bags. Because we hold official NCC (Noleggio Con Conducente) permits, we have exclusive access to the restricted port areas.
-
No Shuttle Buses: We don't drop you at the port entrance.
-
Direct Access: We drive you through the security gates and drop you off directly at the check-in pier for your specific cruise line (Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, NCL, MSC, Virgin, etc.).
