Regional trains at least every hour. Yourney time about 50 min up to San Pietro (Vatican) railway station and about 1 1/4 hrs up to Roma Termini (main) railway station. Fare 5 EUR/OW. Stamp the ticket before boarding the train.
Envisage to take a taxi from the cruise terminal to the railway station.

Below is a detailed instruction by "Europe For Visitors" on how to get from Civitavecchia port to Rome by train:
http://europeforvisitors.com/rome/ci...e-by-train.htm
Beware that the trains may be crowded because many cruisers will be taking trains to Rome at approximately the same time. And worse if two cruise ships dock at the same time.

Here's what has been left out of that supposed "all the information" above:
Your ship may be docked close or further away from the entrance to the port area. That positioning will determine whether or not you need to take a taxi to the train station or you decide to walk.
There was a time when a bus service was provided from cruise ships TO the port entrance; that may no longer be happening.
It is an approximately 10-15 minute walk, depending upon your walking speed, from the port entrance to the train station. The route is over paved city sidewalks and it is totally flat.
The station itself has both a ticket window and ticket machines; the machines may be easier to use.
No reservations are required on regional trains which can be very crowded regardless of the number of ships in port; they are also often not air conditioned other than open windows which adds to the noise level.
use of trains is always going to be cheaper than getting a private taxi or cruise ship-sponsored transfer all the way to Rome.

I share my experience from Rome ciampino to civitavecchia port. Rome Habi Cabs provides excellent service; prompt, good driver, very nice car, good English speaker. Whole thing was a great experience. We used them to pick us up at the cruise ship and drive us to the airport. I will recommend them to my friends and will use again myself. I understand from the driver that they also give tours in their Mercedes cars to your choice of destination.

There is a new TrenItalia service from the port in the morning and to the port in the afternoon. Supposedly timed to be convenient for people on the ships.
IIRC the train stops at the St. Peter's stop and at Termini. I know it stops at St. Peter's train station. The stop there leaves you about a 15 minute walk to the Vatican. Between that stop and the Termini stop I think most people will be able to arrange their own walking tour of the historic centre. Rushed. But at least the train parts are easy.
The new service is all reserved seating. IIRC an ample luggage allowance if you're going to the port to start the cruise or leaving the ship afterwards.
