Capri Extension

  • The private boat transfer will leave from the Santa Lucia Marina which is across the street from the Grand Hotel Vesuvio. We will gather the group for the transfer at the lobby of the Grand Hotel Vesuvio and then walk across the street together when it’s time to board the boat.

  • We will depart for Capri as soon as all the group gathers, but we will not be able to depart after 4:00 PM. If you cannot arrive at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio before then, contact Jerry or Darla to discuss options. We will also need your flight plans to resolve issues in the event of flight delays.

  • We recommend that you only take on carry-on size piece of luggage to Capri. If you have more luggage you need for the tour you can store that luggage at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio until you return. On Capri moving large luggage pieces to and from the hotel can be challenging. We will do our best to accommodate you, but only take to Capri what you need for Capri.

The cost to you of cancelling a trip due to sickness or injury to yourself or a family member, flight delays, lost luggage, medical costs during the trip are all covered if you purchase a Trip Cancellation and Travel Insurance policy.
