Docking at Civitavecchia? Tell us your dock and all-aboard times — we build a private Rome day timed so your driver has you back at the pier long before the ship sails.
Civitavecchia is about 80 minutes from Rome's historic centre, and that drive is the single variable a group coach cannot protect you from. A private car means you leave the pier the moment you disembark, you set the pace at every stop, and your driver-guide watches the clock so the return drive is always built in — never an afterthought.
Back at ship by 18:15 — before your 18:00 all-aboard
Usable window: 09:30 – 16:00(6h 30m usable)
09:30 land-ready → back 18:15 → 18:00 all-aboard

Most Civitavecchia port days run 10–11 hours, leaving roughly 6–7 usable hours in Rome after both transfers. That is enough for 3–4 headline stops at a private pace — for example the Colosseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon. PROVISIONAL — actual usable time confirmed at booking based on your ship schedule.
A private vehicle with a local driver-guide for your full port day, door-to-door between the Civitavecchia pier and every stop in Rome, and a personalised itinerary timed around your ship's all-aboard.
