Cruise passengers docking at Naples have a short list of Vesuvius options built around port timing. The Naples Shore Excursion to Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii runs about 7 hours and covers both sites with transport and guiding. Two port-specific day trips, each about 6.5 hours, pair Pompeii with the crater for tighter schedules.
The cheapest of the three is the MOTORENT S.R.L. excursion from Naples Port at €94.5 per person, rated 4.3 across 117 reviews over 6.5 hours, with entry tickets included. A second 6.5-hour port departure, rated 4.3 across 36 reviews, costs from €105. The Project Napoli Service day trip, 7 hours approximately, sits at €129.73 with a 4.0 rating from 316 reviews, the largest review base of the group. All three allow free cancellation.

6.5 hours
from €105per personStep off the ship at Naples Port for a 6.5-hour day trip that pairs the buried streets of Pompeii with a crater walk on Vesuvius.
Check availability →Start with your ship's hours in port, because every option here needs the better part of a day. Both port-based trips run about 6.5 hours, while the Project Napoli Service excursion stretches to around 7. Budget matters too: the MOTORENT tour at €94.5 is the value pick, and the €105 day trip sits between it and the €129.73 outing. Ratings hover in the same band, from 4 to 4.3, so price and schedule should drive the choice more than scores.
Start from your all-aboard time. The 6.5-hour port tours suit ships leaving late afternoon, while the 7-hour excursion allows a steadier pace through Pompeii before the climb. All three options include free cancellation, so you can hold a spot now and adjust if your itinerary shifts once you are aboard.
Book before your sail date, not at the pier. Shore excursion numbers on these Vesuvius trips are limited by vehicle size, and the crater has its own daily visitor cap enforced by the park (see National Park Guide). Since every option here can be cancelled free of charge, reserving early costs nothing extra and secures your place.
