Cunard Civitavecchia — Private Transfer to Rome
Queen Mary 2 calls at Civitavecchia, the port of Rome, on her Mediterranean crossings. Black Cabs provides private car transfers between the cruise terminal and central Rome, Fiumicino or Ciampino: Mercedes vehicles, professional driver, one fixed price agreed before departure.

Queen Mary 2
Cunard calls tend to be single long days in port rather than quick stops, and guests usually plan the day in advance — which is exactly how a private car works best: fixed pick-up, fixed return, no queue at either end.
What a Cunard day in Rome usually looks like
Most Queen Mary 2 guests want three things from the port: the Vatican, the Colosseum area and a lunch that is not rushed. The drive is about seventy-five minutes each way, so the realistic day is five to six hours in the city with the car waiting — enough for two sites without running. We drop you at the entrance of the first one, wait where you ask, and are back at the terminal with the margin you tell us to keep before all-aboard.
The other common request is the one-way to the airport at the end of the voyage, often with large luggage after a transatlantic: a sedan takes three passengers with cases, the minivan up to seven.
Availability is confirmed before any payment: only once we have a driver for your date do you receive the link for the 30% deposit. Full terms — deposit, cancellations, refunds — on the booking conditions page.

FAQ — Cunard Civitavecchia transfers
Does Queen Mary 2 dock in Rome?
No ship docks in Rome: Civitavecchia is the port that serves the city, about 75 kilometres and roughly 75 minutes away by car.
How long do we need for the Vatican and the Colosseum in one day?
Plan on five to six hours in the city with the car waiting, on top of the two transfers. It is comfortable for two major sites; three make the day a race against the all-aboard time.
Can you handle a lot of luggage at the end of the cruise?
Yes. Three passengers with full-size cases travel in the sedan; for four to seven passengers with transatlantic luggage the minivan is the right call, €230 to Rome or Fiumicino.
What happens if the ship berths late?
We track the arrival and the driver adjusts. Up to 60 minutes of waiting are included at no extra charge, and if we cannot provide the service for any reason the deposit is refunded in full.
