A few things are worth knowing before you travel with a guide or assistance dog. We'd suggest letting our customer service team know, or flagging it with the ferry operator when you book, that you'll be travelling with an assistance animal.

Even on sailings where pets generally aren't permitted, different rules often apply to guide dogs and assistance dogs. Get in touch with our customer service team to confirm the specific policy for your sailing, or visit our Special Assistance Help page for general guidance.

Stabia is located on the Bay of Naples in the Province of Naples in the Campania region of southern Italy. It is around 30 km to the south east of Naples and is situated adjacent to the ancient Roman city of Stabiae which was destroyed by the Vesuvio volcano eruption in 79 AD. An archaeological excavation of the Roman villas, which were preserved by the volcanic eruption, is currently taking place. There are many things to do and see in the region including taking in the wonderful architecture, the many churches and the wonderful works of art of the old town centre. All of this, and the ancient archaeological finds of Stabiae, make this a perfect place for a relaxing vacation, especially for travellers who want a pleasant mix of culture and amazing beaches.
Currently the port is used for commercial, tourist and fishing vessels. There are also shipyards and it is the third largest port in Campania after Naples and Salerno. Ferries can be taken from the port to Capri and Sorrento.

Despite the town now being a popular holiday destination it has still managed to retain a great deal of its charming fishing village atmosphere that has stunning cliff-hugging roads, lively beachfronts and some breathtaking views. Apart from lazing in the sun on one of the town's beaches popular things to do include taking a cruise along the Amalfi Coast, taking in the lovely view of the Bay of Salerno, or trekking along one of the regions walking trails which includes the stunning cliff side path that connects the Spiaggia Grande and Spiaggia del Fornillo beaches.
Ferries to Amalfi, Capri and Salerno depart from the town's harbour.
