Pompeii is one of the most popular and important sights in Italy. From the Bay of Naples your are driven along the picturesque Bay of Naples and on to the excavations.
This time capsule attraction has fascinated visitors for centuries. You join their ranks as you stroll among artifacts, ruins and remnants of this once-bustling port city, snuffed out in a split second when Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.
From here you continue your journey to Herculaneum destroyed by landslide on the same day. Much smaller than Pompeii it offers the opportunity for a more intimate visit. Head back to Naples to see a superb collection of frescoes and mosaics moved from excavations into the Archeological Museum of Naples. Experience the vibrant energy of the city before you return to your ship.
