Naples cruise shore excursion – Discover the best of the city in one day

How to exit the cruise port in Naples

What a wonderful discovery you will make when you arrive at the port of Naples! The city center is literally next door, it’s so convenient. Free release!

This city is a true gem full of activities and magnificent places, but let me tell you that the favorite cruise destination in Naples is without a doubt Pompeii!

You just need to walk along the port for a few minutes to arrive at the ferry terminal, where you will find all the necessary connections.

To get to Pompeii, you have several options

• Take the train, it’s economical with a one-way ticket costing only 1.40 euros and a return ticket costing 2.80 euros (and the journey takes only 30 minutes).
• Opt for the tourist buses which are available right in front of the ferry terminal.
• → I book my hop-on hop-off bus to visit Naples without getting tired.
• You can also book a taxi for greater comfort and speed.
• If you prefer an all-in-one experience, you can choose a boat excursion (rates vary between 80 and 120 euros depending on the company).

Safety in Naples during the cruise stopover

Although boat officials recommend watching your belongings and remaining vigilant in Naples, it’s important to put their message into perspective. Although it is true that vigilance is always required, particularly in large tourist cities, we must not allow ourselves to be overcome by fear because it has no place.

In fact, 99% of cruise passengers who visit Naples experience no problems. From our personal experience, after around fifteen visits, we have never had to report theft or assault.

This tends to demonstrate that Naples is not a more dangerous city than any other.

You just need to respect a few common sense rules, like everywhere else:

• Do not leave your personal belongings unattended.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Be correct and everything will go great!

By following these simple tips, you can fully enjoy your stay in Naples without worrying about your safety.
