Description:
This popular tour incorporates a tour of Naples together with a visit to the ruins of Pompeii, taking you back to the fateful day in AD 79 when Mount Vesuvius erupted. After a short drive from the port, reach these 2 charming cities and learn more about their architecture and history.
Start your tour in Naples with a visit to the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro in the Cathedral of Naples, which dates back to the 4th century. Wander around Piazza del Plebiscito, see the Royal Palace, stroll across the plaza that fronts Town Hall, and then reach the Castel Nuovo. Enjoy fabulous views of the city of Naples from the terraces of Posillipo and then make your way to Pompeii.
Completely buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 that killed the thriving city’s entire population of 20,000, Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an archaeological wonder with plenty to explore. During the 1860s, the site was very carefully excavated, and today visitors can walk the streets, visit the shops, and even enter homes preserved through the ages exactly as they were when the disaster struck.
Soak up the immense history of well-preserved sites like the Forum and the thermal baths. Step into the luxurious House of the Vetti to admire the ornate frescoes, fountains, and sculptures, and peek into the graffiti-etched rooms of the Lupanar brothel before returning to the port to board your cruise ship.
