Rome by golf cart from Civitavecchia cruise port

One day in port, the whole of Rome, and no stress about getting back to the ship.

Updated October 2026

Quick answer

Golf cart shore excursions from Civitavecchia include a private transfer to Rome (about 1–1.5 hours each way), around 5 hours touring the center by golf cart, and the return to your ship on time. They're private for your group and start from about €790 per group.

How the day works

  • Pickup at the port. Your driver meets you at Civitavecchia, Rome's cruise port, timed to your ship.
  • Transfer to Rome by car or van, about 80 km.
  • About 5 hours by golf cart through the historic center: Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi, Piazza Navona, the Jewish Ghetto and back streets big buses can't reach.
  • Back to the ship with a safe margin before all-aboard.

Why it suits cruise passengers

  • You see far more than on a coach tour, because carts get into the narrow streets.
  • No train timetables or taxis to sort out.
  • Private: your group only, at your pace, with lunch stops on request.
