Your Costa Ship at Civitavecchia: What to Know
Costa Cruises vessels dock at the Amerigo Vespucci / Roma Cruise Terminal (RCT), the same modern terminal shared with MSC and Royal Caribbean for their larger ships. It has its own check-in area, so allow a few extra minutes to disembark on busy days when multiple mega-ships are in port together.
Costa ships commonly calling at Civitavecchia include:
- Costa Smeralda
- Costa Toscana
- Costa Diadema
- Costa Fascinosa
- Costa Pacifica
Regardless of which Costa ship you’re on, our driver meets you at the terminal exit with a sign bearing your name, no need to search for transportation once you’re off the gangway.
Typical Costa schedule at Civitavecchia: most Costa ships arrive early morning and depart in the evening. We build in a safety margin ahead of your ship’s actual departure time and monitor arrivals in real time, if your ship is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically at no extra charge.
Why Book a Private Excursion Instead of Costa's Official Shore Excursion
Costa’s official onboard excursions are convenient to book, but they run in large coaches with 40+ passengers, follow a fixed group pace, and cost more per person for less personal attention.
| CruiseToCity | Costa Official Excursion | |
|---|---|---|
| Group size | Max 8 passengers | 40+ passengers |
| Guide | Certified, your language | Assigned, shared microphone |
| Pickup | Direct at terminal exit | Meeting point inside terminal |
| Pace | Adapted to your group | Fixed group schedule |
| Return guarantee | Yes, monitored in real time | Yes |
| Price | €90/person | Often €120 – 150/person |
Your Day in Rome
Your certified guide takes you straight from the port to Rome’s essential sights:
- Vatican City – St. Peter’s Basilica and the surrounding square
- Colosseum – exterior views and historical context from your guide
- Trevi Fountain and the historic center – Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the narrow streets in between
Your guide adapts the order and pace based on traffic and your interests, then brings you back to the Civitavecchia terminal with time to spare before your Costa ship’s boarding cutoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time does my Costa ship leave Civitavecchia?
Departure times vary by sailing, check your Costa cruise documents for the exact time. As a general rule, Costa ships require boarding at least 90 minutes before departure. We build our full-day itinerary around your specific ship’s schedule and always return you well ahead of that cutoff.
Is the Amerigo Vespucci terminal far from where I’ll be picked up?
No, our driver waits just outside the terminal’s security checkpoint, within a few minutes’ walk of where you disembark.
What happens if my Costa ship arrives late at Civitavecchia?
We track all cruise arrivals in real time, including Costa’s. If your ship is delayed, your excursion start time shifts automatically, no extra charge, no need to contact us.
Can I book this excursion for a group traveling on the same Costa cruise?
Yes. Groups of up to 8 can book together and share the vehicle and guide.
Is this excursion officially affiliated with Costa Cruises?
No, CruiseToCity is an independent, licensed local operator. This gives us more flexibility on pricing, group size, and itinerary than the ship’s own excursion desk.
