Spaccanapoli streets, archaeological galleries, castle views.
Choose selected Spaccanapoli streets, available archaeological galleries at MANN or Castel Nuovo exterior views around Piazza Municipio. Naples’ island boats and regional trips are separate outings: Pompeii, Capri and the coast require their own tickets, connections and return assessment. Naples also handles cruise departures, so airport arrival, luggage and boarding need a separate plan for your assigned terminal.

Option 1
Choose a plan for the stops, food, walking and extra costs. Before sailing, arrange luggage storage and follow your cruise line’s check-in window and final boarding deadline. On a port call, use the ship’s all-aboard time to set your return.

Count from when you can get off the ship, or ashore by tender, to the all-aboard time, using ship time. Times on these plans are our estimates, with time to spare; they cannot promise a plan fits your sailing.
Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Port hours vary by ship and date in Naples. Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline. Subtract clearance, both transfers and a return buffer before choosing an outing. Scheduled arrival is not your guaranteed time ashore.
Our suggestion: choose one local focus, confirm current advice, opening and both connections, and protect the ship’s passenger deadline. Airport arrival, bags and cruise check-in need a separate boarding-day plan.
