- Many popular cruise lines use the port of Civitavecchia for Mediterranean cruises. Royal Caribbean, NCL, Costa, MSC, Disney, and more. These cruise lines offer their own forms of transportation into the city of Rome, but did you know you can also just take the train? #cruise #cruiseline #rome

Love your take on the port name - ChiviCherryCola, ChiviJerryLewis, ChiviChiliCheeseFries, ChiviChewbacca, etc, etc,etc. Made me SMILE each time - Thanks!
I'm a big pre-planner when it comes to trips. Just about everything in this vid I had already done on my own before it popped up in my feed (Trenitalia app, pre-bought tickets, mapped the walk to the train station, etc). However, the tip on getting off the train at St. Pietro instead of at Termini was gold. I paid no attention to the actual stops while planning and just went with the recommended route to Termini to get in to town, AND WE ARE GOING TO THE VATICAN, lol. We were already a bit crunched for time and I was struggling to find a pocket for us to eat lunch. Now instead of getting off at Termini 20 minutes later and taking the A train to the Vatican, we'll have almost an hour to eat after getting off at St. Pietro. Less than a single minute of a half-hour video will save me an hour. Thank you so much.
Detailed and clear expression🙏 Thx for ur devotion😘 I tried the app mentioned by comments section, amazingly it is 💥super save🤩
Using the Trenitalia app is a huge benefit - I also used it during our cruise in May. There are actually nonstop trains from Civitavecchia to Rome Termini ("Frecciabianca" Express train). If you can book some days ahead the price is also very reasonable, I payed for one way in First Class incl. seat reservation 9,90 EUR, so around 20EUR return. Just consider that this train doesn't stop at San Pietro which would be the better station if you want to visit Vatican. For all other city areas Rome Termine is good.
That is very useful information thanks. We've only used a regular ticket in the past doing this journey. How does the "validation" process work when using the app version of the ticket?
@@markeaston7353 as I bought the online ticket for a specific train, there was no validation necessary. I just showed my ticket in the app to the conductor.
Grazie mille. I was skeptical that there wasn't an express train to Rome.
Yessss! Tourists can also buy it for saving🥺 and I also know a cheaper channel😎
Thank you so much for taking your time to provide us with plenty of solutions for our future trip. Best from Puerto Rico!
We took a cruise from Rome around the Mediterranean, arriving in Rome a couple days early to do all the touristy stuff. We considered all our options to get to the port (there were 7 of us in two families), and in the end decided to hire a van to take us to the port. It fit all of us and our luggage and was very reasonably priced.
Thank you for your video. 2022 and 2023 I was on a Europe cruise out of Rome. The train is the cheapest way to get to Rome. Taxi was 10 euro each way to and from the port. I recommend the taxi or bus because you will walk alot. From the ship to Rome by train it will take around 2 hours. That's included taxi, waiting for the next train, buying ticket and getting information of where you want to go see in Rome. Please plan at least 2 hours to get back to the ship or you will be a pier runner. This video bring back alot of great memories, thank you again.
Oh my, i am loving your variations of Civitavecchia.
I hope one day to do a cruise in Europe.
I absolutely L❤VE your pronunciations of Civitavecchia. When we went on our cruise, because of you, I practiced so much to get it right. And, because of you, I still goofed it up. Thank you for the awesome content you continue to produce!
And thank YOU for being the first person to watch and comment!
😂 omg, your pronunciations of civitavecchia made my morning
It means, approximately, old town. Vecchia is a feminine version of the adjective "old ."
Love it!😅
Hilarious Morgan! How did you keep a straight face with those city names? They just kept getting better!
Termini Station is a nightmare - and a prime pickpocket spot. also, as you noted, the Civitacvecchia line's platform is so far from the main terminal. For those reasons, we always get off/on at either the S.Pietro or Trastevere stations which are closer to the places most people would want to see. Also, we have always been able to take FREE shuttles buses from the CV port entrance directly to our ships (and vice-versa); so you only have to walk between the train station and the port entrance (near the Tourist Info stall).
You are a nightmare
quit scaring people - its fine
@neresq - really thanks a lot. better read your advice (it takes 15sec) than hearing this guy complaining (at least 10min) and giving no real advice after all. why do this "job" if you do not like it? never understand
Just be aware, if you are on an Oasis class RCL ship, the dock is a lot further away. There is a free shuttle to a central square in Civit but the walk to the train station is much further, about 35-40 minutes.
Yes. That central square was hard to find when walking from the train station. A very long walk with luggage. It’s best to take a taxi from the train station to the ship (if you can do this) or to the central square for the free bus to your ship. The port area is huge.
"Good Looking Helper Guy", yes always look for him to help you out!!
This is the video I’ve been searching for to have all my questions answered regarding the train system and tickets from Civitavecchia to Rome!! Thank you! Liked and Subscribed!! 👍🏼 and thanks to all who commented with their ideas as well!❤
This was super useful information, just what I was looking for 👍
Thank You!!! So helpful.
Thanks. After watching your video I feel absolutely exhausted, nursing a headache, checking the odd pain in my feet, and turning the AC to Maximum. I no longer regret staying on board during my last stop in Civitavecchia. Fortunately I saw Rome years ago on a leisurely land tour and could skip it again if going by sea.
😄
The one time we sailed from “Rome” we took one of the Rome to Civvi independent transport services. (arranged by our travel agent so I don’t know which one). The driver got stopped by the police, we assumed for speeding. We weren’t allowed off the minibus and spent half an hour in a lay-by staring at a picnic table and trash can while the driver and police resolved whatever the problem was. I think the next time I’d go with the cruise’s transfer service.
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for the info and laughs!
Great video, Morgan! Very informative and, as always, entertaining!
I really enjoyed the info and wit. Thanks for a great video!
Very good video! Love your sense of humor! Thanks a mil!
Same for me. I have been laughing as I try to understand the Civitta...words since English is my 2nd language after French. Thank you for being such a good source of information with your personal funny touch. 😂❤
Il m'a fait rire avec ces jeux de mots 😅
This was a very informative video!!! Thanks so much Morgan.. take care..
Thanks for sharing!
This was a hilarious video, Morgan. I love your humour! 😍
Extremely informative, Morgan, and really enjoyed all the playful permutations you came up with to refer to Civitavechia!
This is very helpful for our upcoming trip. Thank you
You have the best names for that port I’ve ever heard. You made my day. Thank you.
Love your detail!!
Love your humor....GREAT VIDEO
Great video, Morgan! Like you, I took the train from Civitavecchia to Termini in the spring. There was so much luggage piled by the doors that it impacted people getting on and off the train. Memorable trip! Keep up the good work!
Nice job on the video & great tips about app and diff train lines. We took the train to Civitavecchia last year for our Med cruise and overnighted in Santa Marinella - nice little beach town!
morgan, you always make me smile!! ;). the variations on the cruise port had me laughing out loud. thanks for the chuckle.... :)
So helpful thank you
Heehee. Loved all of your new names for the port! Especially Chevy chase!
That was EXACTLY what I needed and I loved it! Was SO helpful!! I’ll check your other stuff! 👏👏👏
Enjoyed all the new names for the Port!
So agree with the shoes. I wore sturdy running shoes and was thankful. I was always looking down. Love your Civi versions LOL
Excellent advice
As a travel nanny who has gone on cruises with clients and after watching I know I would never do it on my dime! Great information for those who want to cruise. I always use a train app for countries I visit. Railninja was great for Portugal and Spain. Will check out your other videos.
Really hilarious pronunciations! We are going to Rome on a cruise next June! Very excited and this vlog was very helpful!
You are so funny. Love your names for this city. Appreciate the helpful tips.😊
This is fantastic! Wish I'd had this video a few years ago when we took the train from Civitacherrycola 😂 into Rome to meet up with the guides from Can't Be Missed tours. We got a little lost trying to find the Stazione and I was so worried we were going to miss the train and thankfully, some kind locals pointed us in the right direction. Whew! Will definitely be watching your video walk next time we do this.
Excellent & informative. Wish we had done this 20 years ago🙂
Omg love love your blogs. You are so entertaining and yet very informative. Thank you for you!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are very welcome, Kathryn!
Loved the variations of the name. I was going to take the ferry from Barcelona to Chevy chase and then the train to Rome. This has given me confidence that I could complete this with the minimum of stress.
It was our first trip from Civi to Rome . Getting off the ship , we took a short walk to where buses that go around the port to the train station (cant remember how much we paid for the bus ride) . 3:15 . At the train station we bought a ticket to Rome . It was an hour ride to St Pietro . After a couple of hours at the vatican ,we took a metro to the Colloseum . After a few hours of exploring central Rome we headed back to the ship . A day well spent off ship .
How long did that take you in total, outside of the ship?
Funny!!! My wife has your book ready for our next cruise which starts on 9/12. I read vicariously through her. 😊
Captain Morgan!!! A great video with lots of good advice, thank you. I love the various permutations you have for Civitavecchia🤣🤣🤣
Glad I could brighten your day!
Ok you made me laugh out loud several times with all the different names for the port. 😂
Excellent video
I love this video! You are so funny Morgan! I love how you pronounce the port name! I had a good laugh! Great information as well!
Love your video
This video made my day! The highlight of the topic the pronunciation of the port name 😂 love it!!
Wow that was very informative! Going to Civi-Cherry Coke next year on Odyssey of the seas and your video was very helpful, thanks 😊
Did you go?? We are leaving in 2 months. Any advice . We are also going on Odyssey
@@veronicapellino9034 No not yet :( My trip is in november 2024
Going to read your book while on Oasis next month.
Thank you for your tips and the humor! We all need more humor!
Hilarious! Chimmi-Jerry Lewis 😂😂
A year ago, my cruise ended at rome and I took the ship's excursion to the airport. It was one of my favorite excursions of my cruise..
Perfect timing Morgan. I fly tomorrow and will be on a train from FCO to Termini, then to Civitivecchia ( love all your variations)…. It was great to see your trip, and I had already downloaded the app.
Did you make it? How did it go? Welcome to Civichilicheesefries!
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Yes, it was an easy trip. I bought my ticket at the ticket office since the line was short and their system wasn’t processing cards, so I’m glad I always carry some local currency. Changed trains at Trastevere, met a nice family from Quebec.
Thank you for this video! I've literally been looking for information for the past few weeks as we are going on a cruise in a month! We were going to take the direct shuttle to the train station from the ship but I read that it may take some time for it to start as it waits until it's full. If the walk really is about 20 minutes, we would absolutely do that!
it is
You are helpful and hilarious 😂 I’m now convinced to suck it up and pay for the 10 hour shore excursion from the ship!!🚢
Informative and funny
The humming!! 🤣
Great stuff. Best is to get the train to St. Paul's beside the Vatican then walk across Rome visiting the sights. Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain and return on train from main Terminal.
Your creative pronunciations of the downtown Rome area cracked me up! Made my day! 😂
If you are going one way from termini, buy your ticket to Civitivecchia Porto, and it will include the bus.
I was laughing so hard at your pronunciations of Chi-ChevyChase! Great video! 😂😅 💃 🎰 🍹 🌱
Have taken the train to S. Pietro and back 3 times on different cruises with no issues. European trains (UK apart,) are normally very good and on time. Last year we took a train from Livorno into Florence and back, again with no issues.
I've been waiting for this. I will need it twice next May. And again in November 2024. Both to and from Civi(fill-in-the-blank) Thank you so much. I wonder if my wife has stopped laughing yet.
In 2016 my wife and I started our Princess cruise in Civichevychase and took the train. We had to go to an off site terminal to check in and then bussed us to the terminal.
Quoting the Guffman - Very Theater - and I LOVE IT!
I'm glad a few people got it!
I just loved your video 💕 a walk-first experience just like me and my husband will prefer, but most people don't talk about. It did bring helpful insights for our trip. Thanks!
I'm very glad I could help. When do you leave for your visit to Rome and Civichewbacca?
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides 😆 we're also going on the Costa Smeralda cruise. In March already 👀
Great! Have a good time!
Thank you for the information. I feel a little more confident traveling alone to Rome and/or Florence using the train.
I'm glad I could help! When is your visit?
This made us laugh!!! LOVE your creative pronunciations ❤
I'm glad I could put a smile on your face!
I used to be able to pronounce the name of the city but since listening to you for a few years I no longer can 😂
We use RomeCabs when in Rome. Very nice bunch.
When I went on my cruise of the Mediterranean, one of the stops was in Naples,. Since the ship wasn't leaving until later that day, I found I had twelve hours to myself, so I took a cab to the train station, and took the supersonic train to Rome, and did a walking tour from Termini to St Peter's square, then took a cab back to Termini, and another hour long supersonci trip back. If I had taken the regular train, it would have taken 3 hours, one-way each. I'm glad I did it. Like you, I bought my tickets, beforehand. In fact, I bought them online before I even left for the cruise. It was very convenient.
I’m ready to watch this video again immediately just to hear all your variations of Civichewbacca.
Great info! We have been to Rome four times but never by cruise. On the subject of taking a chance on riding the train without a valid ticket, if you are caught you will be fined. Sometimes as much as 50 euro on a ride that would cost 10.
I really enjoy the info in your videos. But you also have a gift of humor! Oh my gosh - I laughed every time you said different words for the port Chivevhimichuri or whatever 😅😅
I loved all of your variations of Ciitavacchia!!! I'm sitting at my desk at work listening to your video & each one cracked me up, literally laughing out loud (my coworkers probably thought I've lost it!)! :D
I don't want to be responsible for you getting called into HR!
Sorry. Civitavecchia. He pronounced it correctly at the very beginning. A lot of people do not bother.
Thank you for showing us what its like to use the train sure looked busy sadly just heard from some neighbors
They had family that were pick pocket at one of the train station, Luckily not too much was taken as they had other purses under their clothing with the important things . It was so busy at the tickets thats when it happen
Its was a small gym bag rugsack with umbrella sunscreen,few snacks that was taken .
Still nerve racking that it happened 😢.
Great video. Have a Good weekend 🥰
I wish the bag contained a glitter bomb.
Yes!!!!! Iykyk. @@michaels3003
I am 67 years old and love your videos!!
Thank you!
We were docked in Civi-etc on our cruise in 2009. I don’t remember a long walk to the train station, but I was younger then. We did get off the train at the stop by the Vatican because we wanted to go there first. Walking the city was interesting on the cobblestone streets but we did the same things you did; get pizza, gelato and an espresso so we could use the coffee shop bathroom. We just sidled up to the coffee bar and ordered our espresso’s, tossed it down just like the other Italians at the bar then went to do our business. The walk to the train at the station was lo-o-ng. At least 15 minutes but the train was so nice. I think we got in the first class car by mistake but no one questioned us. We’ll be there on our cruise on the Sun Princess in April ( never go in the summer) but we may just pass on going into the city and stay in Civi. I really enjoy your videos and your sense of humor!
I did this a few months ago on my Toscana cruise with Costa - I was amazed that there were so many organisations selling the train tickets (at a marked up price) directly outside the train station. I did think that Rome was a bit awkward to get to from the port - it's SO cumbersome to get from the ship to the town, then to the station, then into Rome. My advice - just go visit Rome another time, and spend your day enjoying the ship while I've so quiet!
Caught the train to Rome back in August and was able to book the tickets through our UK Trainline app. Very easy trip but we had a shuttle to the edge of the port which meant we walked through a shopping street to get to the station. Walked back, it was a long way in the heat. Our ship was docked a mile down the dock from the security gate!
Yes, train is convenient in trip☺️ Hope the rail tickets bought in a cheap price can use🥺
Omg. You’re hysterical 😂.
We took the train from the Civitavecchia cruise port to Rome...pretty easy to find the bus to the train station (it was the last one to the left and cost only a few euros), and there was English-speaking staff at the Tourist InfoPoint who helped me buy my ticket. Unfortunately, though I specified I wanted a ticket to Tuscolana station in Rome, and I asked (via Google Translate) the conductor if the train was stopping at that station, which he confirmed...it didn't: just breezed on through it without slowing. Fortunately, the next stop was Termini and we simply took the Metro back to where we needed to be. So the lesson is: have a backup plan. Next time I'll use the app!
Awesome!! I Loved It!! Soooo funny and informational. ChivitacveCheers!! - LMAO 😅
about twisting your ankle.....same thing happened to a friend, then she fell and smashed her knee, she was taken to a hospital, did not make it back to the ship on time. Luckily her daughter ran back to the ship to get her passport. She was in the hospital for 3 days because her knee needed surgery. Then she stay at a hotel for a few days to heal. Point is, if the ship had left with her passport she would of had a huge problem. So take your passport with you. Just make sure it can not be stolen from you.
Great info thanks! We leave soon for Rome and will be taking the train from Rome to the port. I did get the TrenItalia app, and they have a train/bus combo ticket you can buy. Not sure if you were aware of that. Family of four with luggage is only 37 euros from Roma Termini to Civitavecchia, train & bus.
I hope it goes smoothly and you have a great time!
Chivichestxray!!! Love it!!
😆
Isn't Barcelona cruise port moving from where it is. When we cruised out of Rome we started there so we hired a car to drive us to Citivecchia and I think that was the best thing.
We have been to CV a number of times. We often get an AirB&B and enjoy the town. This last time we took a cooking class as well :)
I will look into a smaller transport though, just to compare price - we have always taken the train. But with luggage that might be a good option. Thanks!
We fly to Rome next week and sail royal Caribbean from Ravenna! Then after the cruise fly out of Venice.
I love you video.. you are funny delivering the facts.... I am not afraid to make the same trip with my wife...she is so extra... when it comes to use vip transportation from. Airports to ports to hotels
Europe has an awesome commuter rail system.
Thanks for doing this! I have ChewyCherryCola as a port stop on an upcoming trip
