This is not a tourist port, industrial only. Even if you don't take a tour or excursion, you'll have to get a cab from the ship into the small town. Not a lot to do in the actual port town. Salerno is definitely worth the trip though!

So I took 2 tours offered by the ship here. In the morning I took a trip to the Herculaneum. We started off with a trip to a cameo factory, we were supposed to stay 15 min but we took about 25. The cameos are hand made and were lovely. We then went to the Herculaneum. It was wonderful. The guide was very knowledgeable and took us around the ruins. We stayed longer than originally intended, but it was well worth it. I loved the frescos and the art still visible. We returned to the port 25 min after the time we were supposed to, causing me to almost miss my afternoon trip, but I jumped off the bus and flagged down to nearest princess person and they got me on the tour minutes before they left at 1:30. My afternoon was to Pompeii. We once again had a cameo store to visit (different one) before our tour. The tour hit the highlights of Pompeii and we didn’t stray to far from the middle. The tour guide did a good job, but some information was in conflict with what my other guide told us. Mt. Vesuvius was a wonderful backdrop to the day and made history come alive for me. I wished we had more time to explore on our own.
