PortTrip Insider

"Naples has the biggest DIY saving of any port I know — €113 per person vs the ship excursion. The Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii is one of the most satisfying port day moves you can make. Get the €6 Margherita at Da Michele after. You'll feel like a genius."

About these estimates

Ship excursion prices are based on PortTrip's research of publicly listed excursion costs across major cruise lines (May 2025). DIY costs represent a realistic full day including transport, one paid attraction, and lunch. Actual costs vary by cruise line, season, and itinerary. Luxury lines typically charge 20–30% more; budget lines 5–10% less.
