About Naples / Capri

Naples is southern Italy at full volume — a gritty, gorgeous, history-soaked city where the birthplace of pizza sits beneath the brooding cone of Mount Vesuvius. The port lands you steps from the centro storico, with the ruins of Pompeii, the cliffside Amalfi Coast, and the island of Capri all within a port day's reach. Few Mediterranean stops pack this much variety into one harbor.

💡

Insider Tip

Decide between Pompeii, Capri, or the Amalfi Coast before you dock — each fills a port day on its own. Pompeii is the easiest by far (a short local train), while Capri and Amalfi involve ferries or long, winding drives.
