Check the Sorrento-origin column in NLG’s Naples–Sorrento timetable. The company’s 2026 programme lists an early departure from Sorrento, with its later afternoon departure carrying a different end date. Check the day you travel before relying on the final sailing.
The town centre and ferry port sit at different levels. When leaving an upper-town hotel, include the trip down to Marina Piccola and time to find the operator’s boarding point. Marina Grande is a different Sorrento harbour.
Alilauro’s Naples–Sorrento route page is another operator reference for the Naples link. Compare the sailing that actually runs on your date with the inland rail alternative if a flight or long-distance train leaves little flexibility.
You land at Beverello. Napoli Centrale and Naples Airport are separate destinations. Calculate a workable connection from leaving the ship, including baggage and the city transfer, rather than from the moment the ferry is due alongside.
Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Naples may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Some afternoon departures run for a shorter season than the early Sorrento sailing. If the later boat does not run, you will need a different sailing or an overland journey.

NLG and Alilauro publish Sorrento departures. Search the date with both if the afternoon boat matters, since the different timetable periods can change which sailing works.
Use the passenger port at Marina Piccola. Travel down from the upper town before the boarding deadline and check the name of your carrier at the quay.
