This June we'll sail Rome to Nice aboard Windstar's Wind Surf and, like so many other travelers, we'll spend a few days sightseeing in Rome before embarking on our cruise out of Civitavecchia.
Here are a few excellent resources you should bookmark as you prepare for your own Roman holiday...
- Rome Cabs—This is the transfer company we're using for our upcoming trip. The company gets consistent high marks from Cruise Critic travelers. I'll let you know how everything goes. Rome Cabs offers straight-up transfers (airport to your hotel, hotel to Civitavecchia port, etc.). The company also offers wine tours, walking day tours of the city, and excursions to the nearby countryside.
- Rome In Limo Company—Many Cruise Critic travelers also recommend Rome In Limo. Transfers and tours are available throughout Italy.
- Roma Shuttle—Here's another favored vendor among Cruise Critic members. The company offers transfers and private tours.
Luxury Hotels in Rome
- InterContinental de la Ville Roma—Via Sistina (This is where we've decided to stay as the location atop the Spanish Steps is convenient to many of the sites we wish to visit.)
- Hotel Hassler Roma—Piazza Trinita dei Monti at the top of the Spanish Steps
- Hotel De Russie Roma—Via del Babuino
- St. Regis Rome—Via Vittorio E. Orlando
- Portrait Suites—Via Bocca di Leone
Rome Restaurant Recommendations
- Chowhound Italy Message Board
- eGullet Italy: Dining Message Board
- Maureen B. Fant Blog—food writer specializing in Roman cuisine
- Parla Food—travel writer Katie Parla's blog
If you've got any recommendations for what's not to be missed in Rome, let me know!
