Yearly cruise passengers40K

Overview

The Port of Gaeta is a smaller, boutique cruise call in southern Lazio, on the Riviera di Ulisse, visited mostly by luxury and small cruise ships (around 40,000 cruise passengers per year). Cruise lines calling here include Silversea, Seabourn, Oceania Cruises, Azamara, Windstar Cruises and Ponant. It is the gateway to the medieval town of Gaeta (Montagna Spaccata, Santissima Trinità Sanctuary), to Sperlonga with the Villa of Tiberius, and to the Abbey of Montecassino. Thanks to its position halfway between Rome and Naples, we also offer fixed-price private transfers to the ruins of Pompeii, central Rome (~140 km) and the airports of Rome Fiumicino and Naples Capodichino, particularly useful at the start or end of a cruise. Every transfer is timed to guarantee a return to the ship before the all-aboard time, with traffic monitoring and a generous buffer on the longer excursions.

Where to find your driver

At the exit of the Gaeta port area, our driver awaits you with a personalized sign bearing your surname, in the authorized pickup area. As this is a boutique call, disembarkation is usually quick. For the longer excursions (Pompeii, Rome) we recommend going ashore as early as possible and agreeing on a return time with a generous buffer before the all-aboard time.
