Explora II — 10-Night Mediterranean

Cruise ships typically dock at Molo Manfredi, which is directly adjacent to Salerno's historic centre. The main promenade and central areas are usually within a 10-15 minute walk from the gangway. Ships generally berth directly, so tendering is uncommon.

• WalkApproximately 10-15 minutesFree

  The Lungomare Trieste promenade starts right at the port entrance, offering a pleasant walk into the city.

• Port ShuttleAround 5-10 minutesOften free or a nominal fee, confirm with your cruise line when booking

  If provided by your cruise line, the shuttle typically drops passengers closer to specific city squares or the Duomo area.

• TaxiAbout 2-5 minutesTypically around ","10-15 per car

  Taxis are usually available outside the cruise terminal for a direct ride into the city centre.

Watch out. The walk from the ship along the Molo Manfredi pier to the main city streets can be longer than it looks, potentially feeling warm in summer due to limited shade.
