Embark on a captivating shore excursion from the cruise port of Naples to the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, where history awaits at every turn. Gain unique insights into the lives of ancient Romans and uncover the secrets of the past.

As you step off your cruise ship, an expert English-speaking driver will welcome you. Hop on a luxury air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a stress-free journey through the beautiful Campania region. After arriving in Pompeii, grab your camera and prepare to walk in the footsteps of its ancient inhabitants.

During the tour, you will have the chance to view the Forum and the Stabian Baths, as well as the barracks of the gladiators and many well-preserved houses and public buildings. Listen to fascinating anecdotes and insights about the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD, and how this tragic event froze the town in time forever.

Next, venture to Herculaneum. This smaller and often overlooked area is actually a hidden gem! Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under a thick layer of mud, which resulted in better preservation of organic materials such as wood, textiles and even food.
