Getting there, and getting back

Naples to Pompeii

Ships berth in the centre. Walk to Garibaldi, then the Circumvesuviana commuter line to the gate of the excavations.

Most ships also sell a coach excursion to Pompeii. However you travel, being back aboard before all-aboard is your own arrangement to make — we publish the journey, not your sailing. Your guide plays either way, and it is yours to keep.

  1. 10–20 min Stazione Marittima to Napoli Centrale / Garibaldi — about 10 minutes on foot, or Metro Line 1 from Municipio, three stops.
  2. 35–45 min Circumvesuviana toward Sorrento, alighting at Pompei Scavi – Villa dei Misteri. Roughly two to three trains an hour. Buy the ticket to Pompei Scavi, not to Pompei, which is the modern town on a different line.
  3. 2–5 min The station is across the road from the main entrance to the site.

0.8–1.2 hours each way

Plan your return against your ship's all-aboard time, which is on your daily programme. It is earlier than the departure time, and if you are coming back by tender the last tender leaves earlier still.

Open live transit directions — times on the day, in your own maps app.

Journey times are typical, not guaranteed, and nothing here is a schedule. Your ship's all-aboard time is the only one that counts, it is not the same as the departure time, and it is not something we can look up for you — it varies by line and by port and it is printed on your daily programme. If a connection slips, turn around.
