Mini Cruise of Positano and Amalfi
Sail the most celebrated coastline in Italy and step ashore in two of its most storied towns.
This Amalfi Coast mini cruise offers a rare chance to experience Positano and Amalfi in a single full day, travelling by sea along one of the most scenic stretches of Mediterranean coastline. Guests board a comfortable vessel and spend the journey admiring dramatic cliffs, pastel-coloured villages, and crystalline waters before setting foot in each destination.
The itinerary is designed around quality time ashore. Rather than rushing between viewpoints, travellers receive generous free time in both Positano and Amalfi to wander narrow lanes, browse artisan shops, and absorb the atmosphere at their own pace.
Rated easy in terms of physical difficulty, this cruise suits a wide range of visitors, from families with older children to those seeking a relaxed introduction to the Campania coast. The departure options from Castellammare di Stabia or Sorrento make it accessible from multiple bases in the region.
Sailing along the Amalfi Coast provides perspectives that no road trip can replicate. From the water, the terraced hillsides, sea stacks, and ancient watchtowers reveal themselves in full, giving passengers a sense of the coastline's true scale and beauty before they arrive in port.
Tour Highlights
Travel the entire length of the Amalfi Coast by sea, taking in panoramic views of cliffs, coves, and hillside villages inaccessible by road.
Disembark in Positano and explore its famous stepped streets, boutiques, and seafront piazza with two hours of free time.
Visit Amalfi, the historic maritime republic, and discover its cathedral, covered markets, and artisan paper workshops at your leisure.
Depart from either Castellammare di Stabia or Sorrento, offering flexible access points for travellers staying across the region.
Enjoy a full day on the water with a comfortable group setting, making this an ideal easy-rated excursion for a broad range of travellers.
Capture the coastline from the best vantage point available — the sea itself — with unobstructed views in every direction.
Itinerary
The cruise begins at the port of Castellammare di Stabia. The vessel heads south along the coast before calling at the port of Sorrento to collect additional passengers.
After a brief stop at Sorrento's port, the ship continues its journey westward along the Amalfi Coast. The coastal scenery becomes increasingly dramatic as the vessel rounds the Sorrentine Peninsula.
The ship docks in Positano, where passengers have approximately two hours to explore freely. The town's colourful houses, independent boutiques, and beachside cafes reward unhurried exploration.
Following a short crossing, the vessel arrives at the port of Amalfi. Two hours ashore allow time to visit the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea, browse the local market, or sample regional cuisine.
The ship departs Amalfi and sails back along the coast to Sorrento, where some passengers disembark. The cruise then continues to the port of Castellammare di Stabia, completing the round trip.
