Naples

Naples, perched along one of the world's most splendid bays and backed by the perfect cone of Mount Vesuvius, is a cruise port that distinguishes itself with an unbeatable mix of urban charm, ancient wonders, and effortless access to extraordinary day trips. In port and beyond, signature experiences unfold from walking-distance highlights such as the Royal Palace, San Carlo Opera House, Castel Nuovo, and the National Archaeological Museum to doorstep adventures along the waterfront, all inviting guests to step into vivid layers of history and street-life. It is the gateway to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mount Vesuvius, with Capri just a 45-minute hydrofoil ride away, making shore excursions feel like complete mini-vacations. Modern terminals handle ships of all sizes with smooth embarkation, comfortable lounges, and a wealth of dining and shopping options that complement onboard services - multilingual staff, shore-excursion desks, and onboard programs that enrich every port call. Naples offers a unique signature mix: panoramic bay views, a living city center best explored on foot, and a treasure trove of archaeology, palaces, and opera, all within reach of the port, so every cruise to this region becomes a memorable journey that begins the moment a hull touches the quay.
