The experience

You're picked up at Salerno cruise terminal in an air-conditioned minivan and driven to either Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast first: the driver decides based on the day's crowds and weather to give you the best experience at each stop. At Pompeii, a professional guide walks you through the archaeological site for about two hours, and you skip the ticket line entirely. The guide shows you the highlights of the ruins without the wait that catches most visitors at the gate.

After Pompeii, you drive the Amalfi Coast road itself, stopping at panoramic viewpoints along the cliffs above the sea. The route passes through Amalfi, then you have an hour of free time in Positano to walk the village, visit the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, or sit by the water. The full day runs 6 to 7 hours from pickup to drop-off back at the cruise terminal, timed so you're back before your ship departs.
