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 haunting streets of Pompeii with a specialist archaeologist guide, exploring the frozen city before the crowds arrive. A bucket-list encounter with one of history's most dramatic moments — the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius.
Ascend to the rim of Europe's only active mainland volcano for vertiginous views over the Bay of Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. Standing on the edge of Vesuvius — the volcano that erased a civilisation — is the ultimate geological bucket-list moment.
Cruise the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast aboard a private wooden gozzo or motorboat, gliding past pastel-stacked villages, sea caves, and lemon-grove cliffs accessible only from the water. The most cinematic coastline in the Mediterranean — seen the right way.
Explore Herculaneum — Pompeii's smaller, better-preserved sister site — with a private expert guide who brings its extraordinary two-storey villas, carbonised furniture, and intact mosaics to vivid life. Fewer visitors, richer finds, deeper stories.
Step into a working Sorrentine lemon grove overlooking the Bay of Naples, tour the fragrant terraced orchards with an artisan producer, and craft your own limoncello in a private distillery masterclass. The taste of the Amalfi hinterland, distilled.
Descend 40 metres beneath the streets of Naples into a labyrinth of Greek aqueduct tunnels, Roman cisterns, and WWII air-raid shelters with a private expert guide. Naples' secret underworld is as dramatic as anything above ground.
