You need the Civitavecchia Express service from Civitavecchia to Roma Ostiense. It is 7.50 euro one-way and 15 euro return. You can get off at Roma S. Pietro on the way to Rome, if you are planning to visit the Vatican and then back on at Ostiense which is closer to the Colleseum. The train times are as follows:

9:07 - 10:10 (Civitavecchia to Roma Ostiense)

16:30 - 17:20 (Roma Ostiense to Civitavecchia)

That's very helpful, thanks.

I have another question. I understand that there are two stretches to get to the CE station - one is from the cruise ship to the Welcome Center and the other is from the Welcome Center to the actual CE station. Based on my research, it seems that the shuttles for the first stretch are free (right?), but I'm not sure about the second stretch. I think I read somewhere that for CE ticket holders specifically, the shuttles for the second stretch are free, but I couldn't get a confirmation on that. Can someone confirm, please?

Trenitalia does a system wide update twice each year, in December and June.  Regional trains, a category which includes the Civitavecchia Express, will be the last trains loaded into the system.

 

At any rate, the CE has not been such a success that you need to buy tickets so far in advance.  There is no financial benefit to advance purchase, the fare for this special train does not vary.

Thank you. So, I will not be able to buy tickets for the CE until June? 

I really want to buy tickets for the CE not only because it's fast and cheap, but also because of the stops. I like the fact that it goes straight to San Pietro station (Vatican area) where I'd like to get off on the morning and then take it back to the cruise port from Roma Ostiense. This is very convenient for me. 

Hi,

Does anyone know when the tickets for the Civitavecchia Express for 2023 will become available on the Trenitalia website? I'm trying to buy for June 21, 2023 but the option for Civitavecchia Express does not seem available.

Thank you,
Don
