Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Walk the ancient streets of Pompeii with an expert archaeologist-guide in a private setting, unlocking restricted areas and vivid stories of the city frozen by Vesuvius in 79 AD. A truly once-in-a-civilisation moment.
Ascend to the rim of the only active volcano on mainland Europe with a specialist volcanologist who reads the crater's steaming fumaroles like a living text. The panorama over the Bay of Naples is jaw-dropping.
Charter a traditional Sorrentine gozzo with a private skipper and explore the Amalfi Coast's sea caves, hidden coves, and pastel clifftop villages from the water — the only way to fully appreciate the UNESCO-listed coastline.
Descend 40 metres beneath Naples' streets into a labyrinth of Greek-carved tunnels, WWII air-raid shelters, and ancient cisterns — one of the world's most extraordinary buried cities, explored with a specialist historian.
Race to Capri aboard a sleek private speedboat before the crowds arrive, slip into the electric-blue sea cave of the Grotta Azzurra at golden hour, then ascend to Emperor Tiberius's clifftop Villa Jovis for a panorama that defined the Roman Empire.
In the kitchen of a local Neapolitan family, learn to craft authentic pizza Napoletana, hand-rolled pasta, and pastiera from a matriarch whose recipes predate any cookbook. Then sit down together and devour every last bite.
