Experience spectacular Amalfi Coast seascapes and Italian history on a full-day tour that packs in a scenic boat cruise and free time in the village of Amalfi, plus an Italian lunch and guided tour around the ruins of Pompeii. Wind your way by motor coach along Italy’s coastal roads to the town of Salerno, where you’ll board a motorboat that offers inside and outdoor seating. As you glide across azure Tyrrhenian seas, marvel at sky-high dolomitic cliffs and villas dangling over the water. Back on land you’ll enjoy about an hour to explore the tiny village of Amalfi, where you’ll find a 13th-century cathedral of Arabic-Norman design, as well as pedestrian streets filled with restaurants and shops selling jewelry, ceramics and limoncello. Savor an authentic Italian meal of pasta, chicken, veggies and dessert with wine and coffee, then venture to the ruins of Pompeii. On a guided walk enhanced by audio headsets, you’ll see how the 23,000 residents of this ancient Roman town lived, played and worked before an envelope of volcanic ash destroyed the city after nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. If time permits stop by a local cameo jewelry factory to see masters at work before returning to your ship.
