Salerno

Salerno, the dramatic gateway to the Amalfi Coast, stands out among cruise ports for its seamless blend of historic charm and maritime modernity, offering breathtaking Gulf of Salerno views from a walkable, city-centered terminal. Dockside in the heart of the old town, the official port delivers quick embarkation and disembarkation, easy access to cobbled streets, sea-front cafés, and the castle-looming silhouette of Castello di Arechi. Signature experiences revolve around proximity and variety: private yacht-sail adventures along the gulf, guided day trips to the Amalfi Coast towns of Positano and Amalfi, a scenic drive to Paestum’s Greek temples, and effortless connections to Pompeii and Herculaneum. The port’s generous berthing and streamlined turnaround accommodate a diverse fleet from mid-sized vessels to mega-ships, with clear gangway access and well-staffed excursion desks ready to tailor ashore plans. Onboard services shine through curated Italian culinary experiences, local tastings of limoncello and seafood, and comfortable, sun-soaked lounges that invite guests to savor Salerno’s sea-bright ambience long after the gangway is hoisted.
