What to expect
You'll spend roughly half the day on Capri's streets and gardens—expect steep steps, narrow passages, and plenty of stops for views. The hydrofoil journey to and from the island takes under an hour each way. You'll have time for a proper lunch break in Sorrento before heading to Pompeii, where your guide walks you through the excavated town, pointing out homes, bakeries, and public spaces buried for nearly 2,000 years. The site sprawls across several kilometres; wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Most of the walking is on uneven Roman stone.
Good to know
Capri's weather can close ferry services without notice; book flexibility into your plans. Moderate fitness required—Capri involves gradual hills and stairs. Meals aren't covered, so budget accordingly for Sorrento. Wear comfortable walking shoes; trainers are ideal. Cruise terminals 21–23 offer shuttle service to Beverello port.
