MS Amadea — 7-Night Mediterranean

Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

2 sea days

The pool loungers and the shaded spots go early on a sea day — by eight in the morning on a full ship, and this one carries 604 guests. Reserving one and leaving it is against the rules on most lines and crew do clear them, so send someone early rather than at ten.

Day one and the last day are half-days

A 7-night cruise is really 6 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

The drinks package

Drinks packages typically range from around $65-100 USD per person, per day, including automatic service charges. Confirm the current price with your cruise line when booking.

Break-even: These packages usually become cost-effective if you plan to have 5-7 alcoholic drinks a day, or a mix of premium coffees, sodas, and alcoholic beverages. Each line defines what counts towards the package.

This package suits those who drink several alcoholic beverages daily and prefer not to track individual costs, but might not be cost-effective for light drinkers or those primarily consuming included beverages.

Gratuities: An automatic service charge, typically around $16-20 USD per person, per day, is usually added to your on-board account. Suite guests may see a slightly higher daily amount. These can often be prepaid or adjusted by speaking with guest services.
Wifi: Basic internet plans, suitable for checking emails and messaging, typically cost around $10-25 USD per day. Streaming or video calls usually require a more expensive premium package. Confirm current pricing and available plans with your specific cruise line.

Costs that surprise people

Specialty Dining. Restaurants beyond the main dining rooms and buffets often carry an additional cover charge or à la carte pricing, typically ranging from $25-60 USD per person.
Shore Excursions. Activities and tours arranged through the cruise line at port stops are an additional cost, with prices varying widely depending on the activity and duration.
Spa and Salon Services. Treatments like massages, facials, and hair services are not included in the base fare and are charged separately.
Premium Drinks. Beverages beyond water, basic coffee, and tea, such as sodas, specialty coffees, alcoholic drinks, and fresh juices, are generally extra without a drinks package.
Gift Shop Purchases. Souvenirs, clothing, toiletries, and other items bought in the on-board shops are charged to your account.
Casino and Arcade. Any gambling in the casino or games in the arcade are additional expenses charged to your on-board account.

Ways to spend less

Book Packages Before Sailing. Drinks, WiFi, and specialty dining packages are often offered at a reduced rate if purchased online before embarkation, rather than on board.
Bring Allowed Beverages. Many cruise lines permit passengers to bring a limited quantity of non-alcoholic beverages or a single bottle of wine per adult on board, subject to their policy. Check the line's current rules.

Day 3Salerno· Italy

Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00

Salerno (UK: , US: ; Italian: [saˈlɛrno] ; Neapolitan: Salierno [saˈljernə]) is a city and comune in Campania, southern Italy, and the capital of the province of the same name. With 125,958 inhabitants as of 2025, it is the second most populous municipality in the region after Naples.

Getting ashore in Salerno

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.
