After disembarking

Cruise ships dock at Stazione Marittima di Salerno. Explore on foot directly from the pier.

  • Where the ship docks

    Cruise ships dock at Stazione Marittima di Salerno.

  • Location of Salerno Cruise Terminal and Ferry Pier

    It takes about a 20-minute walk east along the waterfront promenade from Molo Manfredi, the cruise berth designed by Zaha Hadid, to the Piazza della Concordia / Molo Masuccio pier where regular ferries to the Amalfi Coast depart. Confirm the ferry boarding location in advance.

  • Choosing Between Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast During a Port Call

    During a Salerno call, Pompeii's archaeological site is a 30-minute direct local train ride from Salerno station, while Amalfi is a 35-minute ferry ride with scenic sea views. Since they require different directions and transport, it is recommended to focus on one during a single-day port call.
