During this trip, you'll pass by the Fiordo di Furore, the only one on the Amalfi Coast. The Furore Fjord is a dramatic sea gorge on the Amalfi Coast, where a tiny beach hides between towering cliffs and a picturesque bridge spans the ravine above.

While cruising, you will have the chance to admire Conca dei Marini and its Saracens towers. Once a fishermen’s haven, now a peaceful escape with breathtaking views!

The journey will continue passing through Amalfi, a historic maritime republic. Seen from the sea, Amalfi rises like a colorful cascade of houses, nestled between cliffs and kissed by the blue of the Mediterranean. You will have the opportunity to admire the bell tower of the Amalfi Cathedral directly from the sea.
