Docking in Naples? Tell us your all-aboard time — we build a private day around Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, or the city's historic heart, timed so you're back at the pier with room to spare.
Naples cruise port (Stazione Marittima) is practically inside the city: Castel dell'Ovo is an 8-minute drive and Spaccanapoli is 12. But the sights that make a Naples port day truly memorable — Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Vesuvius — are 35 to 70 minutes out, and they lie in opposite directions. That's where a private driver-guide earns the day: you set the itinerary, they watch the clock and the traffic, and every route is planned around your all-aboard, not a group coach's timetable.
Back at ship by 17:06 — before your 18:00 all-aboard
Usable window: 08:25 – 16:45(8h 20m usable)
08:25 land-ready → back 17:06 → 18:00 all-aboard
The pizza here is DOC: wood-fired, blistered, leopard-spotted, finished in 90 seconds — perfected in Naples' own quartiere. A lunch stop at one of the storied pizzerie (Di Matteo, Sorbillo, Starita) is non-negotiable. Paired with a cold Peroni and a stroll down Spaccanapoli.
A relaxed bite that fits neatly between the bigger sights.
Drive to 1 000 m then hike 30 minutes on loose cinder paths to the rim of the only active volcano on the European mainland — stare into the caldera that buried Pompeii. Sturdy shoes required; rated intensity 3 for the steep ascent.
Front-loaded so the active part is done before the clock tightens.
Buried by Vesuvius in AD 79 and extraordinarily preserved — roofless streets, frescoed villas, bakeries, and the haunting plaster casts of victims. Allow at least two hours to cover the Forum, Via dell'Abbondanza, and the Villa of the Mysteries.
The iconic stop here — and the timing still gets you back with room to spare.
The clifftop town above Marina Grande: limoncello shops on Corso Italia, the arcaded Sedile Dominova loggia, and panoramic views across the bay to Vesuvius. A gentler alternative to the Amalfi drive for guests who want a sea-view lunch and a browse.
High-rated and compact — strong value for the time it takes.
Naples' oldest castle, jutting into the bay on its own islet — free to enter, with seaward battlements and views back to the city skyline and Vesuvius. An easy first or last stop just minutes from Stazione Marittima.

Not comfortably — they lie in opposite directions from Naples port (Pompeii is south-east, Amalfi is south-west) and each rewards at least 2 hours on site. Most guests choose one marquee trip and pair it with a city stop such as Spaccanapoli or a pizza lunch. A private driver makes the most of whichever you pick and still makes all-aboard.
About 35 minutes each way by private car on the A3 motorway — PROVISIONAL; traffic around the port varies. Budget a 3–4 hour block for the round trip plus a proper visit (minimum 2 hours at the site), which fits comfortably inside a 10-hour port day and still leaves time for a pizza stop in Naples on the way back.
A private vehicle with a local driver-guide for the full port day, door-to-door between the pier and each attraction, and an itinerary timed against your ship's all-aboard. Entry tickets to archaeological sites are not included and are purchased on arrival.
