From Rome: You will need to get to Napoli first. Take the Leonardo Express or Terravision bus from Fiumicino Airport and get to Roma Termini train station. At this point you can get a train to Napoli (~1 hour ride) through Trenitalia (https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html) or Italo (https://www.italotreno.com/en). From Napoli: Best way is Ferry (45 mins, ~20 euros each way). You can use this website to look at options: https://www.ferryhopper.com/en/blog/ferry-news/italy-ferries-routes-2024. After you find the right option, you can book directly on the company websites (SNAV, NLG, Alilauro) since Ferry Hopper takes a commission. Please remember to get to the ferry terminal ~15 mins before departure, sometimes you will be required to print your ticket. Taxis from Napoli to Sorrento have a fixed price (~125 euros and it is shown in the back of the driver's seat) and can take anywhere between 1 and 2 hours depending on traffic. Please pay attention to not get overcharged and not get sick on the road, we had a fair amount of people experiencing both in the last couple of years.
