Route guide

Plan your ferry from Barcelona to Civitavecchia

The Barcelona to Civitavecchia crossing links Barcelona in Spain with Civitavecchia in Italy.

For a departure from Barcelona, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Barcelona’s Grimaldi terminal is in the commercial port, with onward road and public-transport links to the city and the wider Catalonia region.

On the other side of the crossing, Civitavecchia is your arrival port. Civitavecchia’s centre is walkable, with the railway station providing the key connection towards Rome and a car useful for the wider Lazio coast.

Compare the Barcelona departure and Civitavecchia arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Barcelona to Civitavecchia result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Civitavecchia may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Barcelona to Civitavecchia fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
