The experience

The minivan picks you up at your cruise ship terminal at 8am and heads toward either Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast first, depending on the day's conditions. You'll travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver who navigates the coastal road. The order of stops shifts to fit the weather and traffic, so you'll learn which comes first when you board that morning.

At Pompeii Archaeological Site, you spend 2.5 hours with a top-rated local guide who walks you through the highlights of the ancient Roman city. Skip-the-line entry means you walk past the queues at the gate and move straight into the ruins. The guide shows you the streets, buildings and artifacts that survived the eruption, grounding the history in what you see underfoot.

On the Amalfi Coast leg, you get free time in Positano or Sorrento to walk, photograph the panorama, and sit with the view. The Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Positano sits right on the water if you want to step inside. You return to the port with enough time to reboard your ship. The driver times the route to your re-boarding window, which you provide at booking.

What exactly do I see during the 2.5 hours in Pompeii?

Pompeii Archaeological Site's highlights with your guide: the streets, homes, temples and public spaces that were buried by the eruption in 79 AD and preserved under ash. Your guide walks you through the most significant structures and explains what daily life looked like for the people who lived there.

Do I have time to explore Positano on my own, or is it a quick stop?

Positano is free time, so you set the pace. You can walk the beach, climb the steps through the village, visit the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, or simply sit and take in the view. The driver will tell you when to meet back at the minivan so you return to the port on time.

How does the tour work if my ship docks late or I need to reboard early?

At booking, you provide your ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time. The driver uses that schedule to plan the route and timing, so you're back at the terminal when you need to be. The order of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast can shift to fit your window.

What's included in the price, and what do I pay for separately?

The tour includes the private minivan, air-conditioned transport, port pickup and drop-off, the local guide at Pompeii, and skip-the-line entry to the archaeological site. Lunch and gratuities are not included. You eat on your own time, usually during the free time in Positano or Sorrento.
