Sorrento from naples?

Hi all

Going to be in ncl epic arriving in naples on New Year's Eve, we really want to go to Sorrento and have a look round, can anybody recommend how to do this without signing up for an expensive cruise ship tour?!? Thanks

There are water options and also a train. Easy enough to find them by googling. Can't help with schedules though. Especially New Year's Eve.

The easiest and, in my opinion, most comfortable way is a high speed ferry. They depart from Molo Beverello, which is adjacent to the cruise port, and take about 45 minutes to get to Sorrento. The fare is €12,30 each way.

The first ferry of the day departs at 9 AM; you can see the schedule here: http://www.alilauro.it/orari-e-tariffe?route_group_id=3

Less expensive, but requiring more time and effort, is the local train. The station (called Porta Nolana) is a little less than a mile and a half from the cruise port so most people take the tram to the station. The NA-5 Integrato ticket covers both the tram ride and the train and it costs €4,50 each way.
