Naples to Amalfi Coast from the cruise port
Amalfi Coast is the reason most ships call at Naples. The question is never “is it worth it” — it is “can I get back in time”. Here is the honest math.

Naples → Amalfi Coast
Amalfi is the one connection on this list that the numbers themselves rule out for a standard cruise call: 105 minutes each way by bus along the coast road means a round trip alone is well over three hours, before any time in the town, and that estimate assumes no traffic on a road that regularly has plenty.
There is no safe return departure to quote here, because the honest answer is that a comfortable round trip doesn’t fit inside a normal port day at all — any tour promising Amalfi and a return to the ship is selling you a schedule with no margin for delay. The verdict: skip it on a Naples call and save Amalfi for a trip where you’re staying on the coast overnight, not disembarking from a cruise ship.
