Your tour begins in Salerno where you'll board an air-conditioned motorcoach for a short drive to Salerno harbor where a motorboat will take you on a scenic 60-minute cruise along the gorgeous Amalfi coastline. It's an ideal photo opportunity for shots of the rocky outcroppings and verdant grottos dotting the cliffs. Upon arrival in Amalfi, you'll have approximately 60 minutes of free time to explore the town or visit the Amalfi Cathedral. Church admission is extra and guests are asked to respect local custom and dress conservatively. (No bare shoulders or shorts and mini skirts).
The Amalfi Cathedral is a striking structure with 62 steps leading to its entrance. Its facade is Arabic-influenced Romanesque with a bold mix of stripes, arches, mosaics and textures. The bell tower and cupola are decorated with green and yellow tiles. The heavenly Cloister of Paradise is home to the tombs of Amalfi's wealthy merchants and features Moorish styling in white marble. Take a stroll around the courtyard and see its lovely Mediterranean garden as well as the ancient artworks that grace the walkways. The cloister leads into the Basilica of the Crucifix where you can see some amazing frescoes. The cathedral's museum and treasury is located in the basilica. The Crypt of St. Andrew is located in an altar decorated with beautiful Baroque murals dating from 1660.
Upon return in Salerno, you'll board a motorcoach for an hour and 30-minute drive to the resort seaside town of Sorrento where lunch will be served at a local restaurant. Enjoy an authentic meal using fresh, seasonal ingredients of the Campania region. Your lunch is immediately followed by an hour of free time to spend at your leisure.
Sorrento boasts one of the biggest shopping districts along the Amalfi Coast-from lace sheets and fine furniture, to table linens and handcrafted pottery. It's a prime place for shoppers and ambiance seekers alike. Get off the main path on to the cobblestone side streets and public squares, such as Piazza Tasso and Piazza Antica for great atmosphere.
Corso Italia is Sorrento's flower-lined main boulevard and a window-shoppers delight. Here you'll find charming local shops, designer boutiques and cafes. Pick up souvenirs, such as a bottle of the local limoncello liquor or spend time enjoying the festive ambiance. Sorrento offers ample photo opportunities with marvelous views that overlook the Bay of Naples.
Your tour comes to its completion back in Salerno after a 90-minute drive where your ship is docked and awaiting your return.

Special Notes
The drive from Salerno to the Sorrento takes approximately 90 minutes; the drive from Sorrento to Salerno takes approximately 90 minutes.
Tour may operate in reverse order.
Due to traffic restrictions of the Sorrento center a short walk from the motorcoach drop off point to the main center and vice versa will be required.
Passengers who suffer from motion sickness should take the motorboat ride into consideration.
In case of bad weather, rough seas, or operational restrictions due to overcrowding at the ports of Amalfi or Salerno, the cruise between Amalfi and Salerno may be cancelled and the tour will proceed entirely by coach. In this case, the visit to Amalfi will be replaced with an alternative village on the Amalfi Coast (such as Maiori, Minori or Vietri sul Mare).
During the navigation along the Amalfi Coast, commentary will be provided by the guide through audio headsets. However, due to weather conditions, wind, sea conditions, and the natural engine noise of the motorboat, explanations may not always be clearly audible to all guests. While every effort is made to ensure the best possible listening experience, these factors are beyond our control and may occasionally affect the quality of the audio during the coastal crossing. The boat offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The vessel used may vary in size and capacity. Depending on the size of the group and seating arrangements, you may be seated either inside or outside.
