Naples Shore Excursions - Pompeii, Amalfi Coast & Capri

Cruise ships dock at the Stazione Marittima on Molo Beverello, directly in the centre of Naples. There is no tendering - you walk straight off the ship. The historic quarter and Piazza del Plebiscito are about a ten-minute walk from the terminal. Your licensed guide and private driver will meet you at the pier with a name sign. The hydrofoil to Capri departs from Molo Beverello itself - directly adjacent to the cruise terminal.

Yes. With a typical 8-9 hour port day and a private vehicle, the most popular combination is a morning at Pompeii (about two hours on site) followed by a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast to Sorrento, returning to Naples via the motorway. Your driver guide manages all timing so you are comfortably back at the ship before departure. This is the most booked Naples cruise excursion we offer and suits most port call schedules.

The drive from Naples cruise port to Pompeii takes about 30 minutes. A guided visit of the archaeological site takes roughly two hours and covers the Forum, the amphitheatre, the bathhouses, the main streets with their stepping stones and ruts, and the Villa of the Mysteries with its extraordinary frescoes. Licensed Pompeii guides are available for additional cost and are strongly recommended - the site is vast and context transforms what you see.

The Amalfi Coast road is narrow, winding and busy in summer - which is exactly why a private driver-guide is the best way to experience it. You relax and enjoy the views while your experienced local driver handles the hairpin turns. Photo stops are built into the itinerary at the best viewpoints above Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Large group buses are often delayed or turned back on this road - a private vehicle sized for your group navigates it far more efficiently.

Yes. The hydrofoil to Capri departs from Molo Beverello, directly adjacent to the cruise terminal, and takes about 45 minutes. On the island you can ride the funicular to Capri town, visit the Gardens of Augustus, take a boat to the Blue Grotto (weather permitting) and explore Anacapri. A full port day allows roughly four to five hours on the island. A private boat excursion to Capri from Naples cruise port is also available - you cruise the Sorrento coastline rather than taking the public hydrofoil.

Our back-to-ship guarantee means that if an unforeseen delay during your private tour prevents you from returning to the cruise terminal before your ship departs, we will arrange and cover the cost of transportation to your next port of call. This guarantee applies to all private shore excursions booked through us from Naples cruise port. Your tour must be scheduled to return 1.5 hours before the ship departs.
