Outing Highlights
Coastal panoramas: Vesuvius, Capri and Napoli
The route traces the Sorrentine coast with Capri to port and Vesuvius to starboard, passing Naples’ promontories en route — a continuous procession of volcanic headlands and island silhouettes.
Procida’s Corricella and Ischia’s seaside hamlets
The tour calls at Corricella in Procida — famed for its painted houses and narrow lanes — and visits the lively ports and seaside boroughs of Ischia, where streets and waterfronts reward short on-shore strolls.
Blue-water swims and snorkeling stops
Multiple scheduled stops allow for bathing and snorkeling in the Gulf’s clear waters, with time to slip off the boat for short swims from protected anchorages.
