It is closer to Naples than Pompeii; I did it coming from the other direction (Sorrento) but I'd say it's about 20 minutes.
Can't answer re: the taxi, but the train is pretty easy. Once you get off the train, you'll walk downhill down a major road with the train station at your back. This road basically dead-ends at the entrance to Herculaneum in about 4-5 blocks -- you can't miss it.
There's no museum onsite.
Yes, you should have enough time to do both Herculaneum and the Archaeology Museum.
I have a lot of info on Herculaneum, included notes for a self-guided tour (having just done it a few weeks ago). If you want to give me an email, I'd be happy to send it to you.
Hi Cruise Mom42,
I am traveling to Naples on a cruise and am planning on taking the train to Herculaneum. I would appreciate info on the self guided tour!
