Cruises to and from Naples (Pompeii), Italy

Crammed with ancient architecture, cathedrals and churches, it’s no wonder the Historic Centre of Naples is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dip into it all on a Naples cruise, starting with a visit to medieval Castel Nuovo and its view to Mount Vesuvius, looming over the Bay of Naples.

 

Afterwards, be swept up in the busy streets of Spaccanapoli, lined with artisan workshops, before delving into the city’s past in underground catacombs, located in Rione Sanità. Visit world-famous museums, such as the Capodimonte, with its collections of Baroque and Renaissance art, including works by Titian and Caravaggio. And then there’s the food, from Neapolitan pizza to fine dining.

 

Better yet, combine your Naples cruise with an excursion to Pompeii, the archaeological site that lay buried for 1,700 years following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Today, visitors can walk the cobbled streets and admire the mosaics adorning the villas of the town’s wealthiest families.

 

Back in the present day, a cruise to Naples, also lets you live the glamorous life in Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.
