The name of the port of Rome is CIVITAVECCHIA.

The SNAV ship needs about 13h.

Answer 2

Yes there are boats, but you can not make it as a day trip. Save Rome for another time when you have more then a few hours as there is too much to see to bother coming for a short time!

Answer 3

You could, but it would take much too long for a daytrip (it's a long way!).  Train would be quicker, and also much cheaper.  Though I still think a daytrip would be ambitious, as it takes 11 hours.  Costs €58 on an Intercity train (the quickest kind for this route).

Why not visit some of the wonderful places in the south of Italy instead?

Answer 4

If it's small enough to get it in the hold of an aeroplane on a Rome flight.
