Distance to train from port

[bulldogz]

I will be going to the Rome train station from the port in Civitavecchia after the cruise. How long will it take to get there?  I want to purchase my train tickets to Naples.

You can purchase your ticket to Naples from the station in Civitavecchia, even if you have to change trains in Rome.

 

The train station in Civitavecchia is 600 meters/four-tenths of a mile from the southern entrance/exit of the port (near the fort) or 1.4 km/nine-tenths of a mile from the northern entrance/exit, the one where the free port shuttles drop off.

 

It may be possible to walk from your ship if you are in the southernmost cruise berths, that walk will be more like 2.5 km/one and a half miles.

 

Only Trenitalia services the Civitavecchia station, so you can either purchase tickets on Trenitalia through to Naples or use Trenitalia to get to Rome and purchase tickets on Italotreno from Rome to Naples.

 

There is one train in the morning, the 9:24 IC train, that does not require a change of trains in Rome.  It will stop at Rome Ostiense station, but you stay on.  Even though this train takes between 15 - 30 minutes longer than some of the connections (it requires 2 hours, 50 minutes from Civitavecchia to Naples Centrale), I find it easier to avoid the connection hassle.

Thanks. I found a 9:16 am from Civiavecchia to Rome to Naples. Do have to transfer. Get to Naples at 11:33 am. Then we are going to Sorrento. 
I don’t see the 9:24 am one. Would we be able to take a cab to the Civitavecchia station?

As far as I know, for a cab you'd have to first take the free port shuttle to the Largo della Pace exit, then get a cab to go the one mile to the station.

 

As for not seeing the 9:24 IC train, it's possible that you have used filters to limit your view to Frecce trains only, or that you are looking at a date too far in the future.

If you are looking at the 11:33 arrival in order to catch the 11:37 Campania Express train from Naples to Sorrento, that's too close to make the connection.  The Circumvesuviana/Campania Express station at Napoli Centrale (called Piazza Garibaldi) is too far from the main track head to make this transfer.

 

The next Campania Express to Sorrento doesn't depart until 15:37, so you would have time to enjoy the pizza Naples is famous for before going on, if you'd like.

If you are traveling in the summer, Trenitalia also offers a bus link from Naples to Sorrento.

Oh my. All so confusing. Our cruise arrives back in Rome on July 2 at 5:00 am. Then we are headed to our hotel in Sant’Agnello.   Any suggestions?

[euro cruiser]

Those are important bits of information (date and location) that may change the decision for you.

 

The Trenitalia bus link only goes to Sorrento, so it would require an expensive taxi ride or another train segment to get back to Sant'Agnello.  This option would be a fast train from Civitavecchia to Rome, a second fast train to Napoli Afragola, the bus to Sorrento, and finally a train or taxi to Sant'Agnello.  This option would get you to Sorrento at 14:04, so to Sant'Agnello around 14:30 or 14:45.

 

A little less cumbersome but more time consuming would be the IC train at 9:24, arriving to Naples at 12:29 (or shortly thereafter, IC trains are not known for precise adherence to schedule).  Relax, maybe check your bags at the left luggage office in the station for a few hours, and have lunch.  Retrieve your bags and catch the 15:37 Campania Express train arriving to Sant'Agnello at 16:43, about the time you'd be able to check in anyway.  (Note:  the IC train does not appear on the schedule because it's just too far in advance, only Frecce trains are posted at this point.)

 

Or, for a little more money, pay for a car service from Naples to Sant'Agnello.
