Cruise Port Transfers in Italy
Timed to your ship, not just your flight: transfers to and from the cruise terminals at Civitavecchia, Naples and other Italian ports, with luggage and shore days planned.
The essentials
- Rome's cruise port
- Civitavecchia, about 80 km from central Rome; roughly 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes by road
- Naples
- A cruise port next to the historic centre, about 20–30 minutes from the airport
- Other ports
- Venice, Livorno (for Florence and Pisa), Genoa and Savona on request
- Timing
- Aim to arrive two to three hours before departure; embarkation usually closes about an hour before sailing, so check your cruise line's rules
What's included
- Pick-up timed to ship and flight schedules
- Luggage handling to the terminal
- Drop-off at your ship's terminal, confirmed the day before
- Shore-day transport with a set return time
- Backup vehicle process
Ship days are short
Most ships stay in port for eight to ten hours. A Rome round trip from Civitavecchia uses roughly three hours of driving, so plan sightseeing carefully. In Naples, Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast are the practical options, rarely both. We build the plan backwards from your all-aboard time.
