Sorrento is a beautiful town perched on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Disabled visitors can get from the dock to the town above using an elevator located at the west end of the shore.

The accessible Sorrento cruise port presents numerous options for disabled cruise visitors. The town of Sorrento is perched on the cliffs above and can be reached via an elevator (the location is described below).

Alternatively, disabled cruise passengers can hop on one of the accessible ferries to Capri or Naples. And who could forget about the most famous sight in the region…the Pompeii ruins?

Sage Travel Tip: Start your day in Pompeii, Capri, Naples, or the Amalfi Coast, so you can relax in the afternoon in Sorrento.

I gave the Sorrento cruise port a 4 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because disabled passengers (even those with heavy electric wheelchair) have step-free routes to reach the town. It did not get a higher rating because the town has cobblestones in many parts of it.

Sorrento disabled access is not quite as good as some other cruise ports like the Monaco cruise port, the Barcelona cruise port, and the Naples cruise port.

If you are arriving by hydrofoil from Naples or Capri (or going to those destinations, the boat has a wheelchair ramp. That’s me in the wheelie going down the ramp!

Near the top of the elevator is a beautiful cloister. This is an example of something free and easy to visit that you would totally miss without a tour guide!
