About this tour
This eight-hour shore excursion from Naples or Salerno ports takes you straight to the Amalfi Coast's three standout villages. You'll visit Positano first, where pastel-hued buildings tumble toward pebble beaches, then explore Amalfi's historic centre with its famous cathedral and lemon groves. The tour finishes in clifftop Ravello, where Renaissance villas and manicured gardens command views across the Tyrrhenian Sea. Transport, onboard commentary, and free time at each stop are included; you arrange your own meals.
Highlights
- Positano's steep lanes, boutiques and waterfront cafés
- Amalfi's cathedral and limoncello tasting shops
- Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone gardens and views
- Drive past dramatic limestone cliffs and coastal villages
- Return to ship with time to spare before departure
What to expect
You're collected from the cruise terminal and driven south along the serpentine coast road. At Positano, you have roughly two hours to drift through narrow pedestrian streets, browse independent shops, or grab a drink overlooking the beach. Next stop is Amalfi town (around three hours), where you can explore the piazza, admire the Arab-Norman cathedral facade, browse local food shops, or eat lunch wherever appeals. The final leg takes you uphill to Ravello, where you'll have time to walk the rim-edge streets and peek into private villa gardens—some charge entry, some don't. The return drive to port is built in with buffer time.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; all three villages involve steep hills and steps. Bring cash for lunch, shops and villa entries. Summer heat can be intense—bring water and sunscreen. The coastal road has sharp bends; prone to motion sickness should take precautions. Not suitable for very young children, pregnant travellers, or those with mobility or heart concerns.
