Italy Departure & port-visit guide
Gulf views, medicinal plants, historic gardens.
Choose a public stretch of Lungomare Trieste, selected visitor spaces in Minerva’s medicinal garden or Villa Comunale’s public paths. These are local Salerno visits. The Amalfi Coast label does not make Positano, Ravello or Capri local outings; each needs a separate travel and return plan. Joining passengers also need confirmed airport, baggage and boarding arrangements for their actual cruise entrance.

Option 1
Choose a plan for the stops, food, walking and extra costs. Before sailing, arrange luggage storage and follow your cruise line’s check-in window and final boarding deadline. On a port call, use the ship’s all-aboard time to set your return.

Port hours vary by ship and date in Salerno (Amalfi Coast). Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline. Subtract clearance, both transfers and a return buffer before choosing an outing. Scheduled arrival is not your guaranteed time ashore.
Our suggestion: choose one local focus, confirm current advice, opening and both connections, and protect the ship’s passenger deadline. Airport arrival, bags and cruise check-in need a separate boarding-day plan.
