Return-to-ship confidence
ModerateHowever quiet or busy the port, set a personal turnaround 60–90 minutes before all-aboard — more for long day trips to Matera or full-day Puglia combos, and always allow for motorway traffic on the return.
Organised shore excursions from reputable operators are structured around cruise schedules and monitor all-aboard times. Confirm terminal pickup and drop-off when you enquire.
