Terminal Napoli SPA

Main information

The Port of Naples is one of the most important and historic ports in the Mediterranean. At the heart of this vibrant port lies the Naples Cruise Terminal, also known as the Stazione Marittima di Napoli. Located just a short walk from the historic city center, the terminal serves as a major gateway for cruise ships and ferries arriving from across Europe and beyond.

The Maritime Station is a large, multifunctional complex that combines port operations with commercial and tourism services. It was originally built in the 1930s and is an example of rationalist architecture. Over the years, it has been modernized to meet the needs of contemporary travelers while preserving its historical charm.

Today, the terminal handles millions of passengers each year and offers a wide range of amenities, including shopping areas, restaurants, ticket offices, and customs services. It is a strategic hub.

Its central location makes it especially convenient for tourists, who can easily access Naples’ main attractions like Piazza del Plebiscito, the Royal Palace, and the famous Spaccanapoli street. The terminal plays a vital role in the city’s economy and continues to grow as one of Southern Italy’s most important transport and tourism centers.

Terminal Napoli offers a 360° service for both cruise lines and passengers, taking care of:

  • Welcoming and assisting arriving and departing passengers;
  • Managing the embarkation and disembarkation operations for passengers and luggage;
  • Commercial development, through strategic agreements with major cruise companies;
  • Territorial promotion, in synergy with the Port System Authority and other local stakeholders.

The port features 7 docking piers, capable of accommodating the largest cruise ships, with a total length of 1,100 meters and a maximum depth of 12 meters.

To meet the growing needs of cruise operators and enhance the passenger experience, Terminal Napoli has carried out major infrastructure upgrades, transforming the area into a true multifunctional hub.

  • Conference Center: Inaugurated in 2006, it offers modern spaces for events and conferences, in a strategic location in the heart of the city.
  • Shopping Center: Opened in 2011 with an investment of €46 million, it includes boutiques, wine shops, ice cream parlors, jewelry stores, and a pharmacy—making the Maritime Station a point of interest not only for cruise passengers but also for local residents.
  • Smart Hotel: Opened in 2019 following an investment of €2.5 million, this elegant 4-star hotel is ideal for cruise passengers, tourists, and business travelers attending events at the Conference Center.

These developments have gradually turned the Port of Naples into more than just a transit point—it is now a complete experience that combines efficiency, hospitality, and high-quality services. Moreover, Terminal Napoli is committed to promoting the city as a top-tier tourist destination, offering every visitor a taste of Naples’ uniqueness—blending tradition, modernity, and innovation.

History

Napoli, the capital of Regione Campania in southern Italy, is a city of art with a population of about one million. It boasts a scenic location, bordered by Mount Vesuvius, the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida, and Capo Miseno. Its origins trace back to the ninth century BC when Anatolian and Achaean merchants founded Partenope on the small island of Megaride. Later, the inhabitants of Cuma established Neapolis as a new city in the eastern part of the area. Neapolis was planned in a Hippodomean layout with orthogonal streets, which can still be observed in the modern city.
