Visit to the Ruins of Pompeii

Upon the arrival of your cruise at the port of Naples, our Shore2Shore team will welcome you to begin this special excursion for cruisers.

We arrive at Pompeii, an ancient and wealthy city, a magnificent and historic example of life in the year 79 AD. It was precisely that year, on August 24th, that the earth shook, and Vesuvius unleashed all its fury on the area after 1800 years of inactivity. The city of Pompeii was completely buried under lava and the ashes of the Vesuvius volcano. However, excavations that began in the 17th century have brought to light archaeological remains of immense value.

The guide will take us on a guided tour through the magnificent ruins of Pompeii, starting at Porta Marina; the gate to the economic and political center of the city. He will lead us on a walking tour, evoking the history and experience of a typical day in ancient times.

Throughout our tour, we will find houses, temples, and villas with mosaic floors and frescoes on the walls. We will be able to admire the luxury mansions and the fabulous art of the wealthy aristocrats who came to Pompeii to escape the crisis in Rome.

The houses were designed around an interior garden with few windows to the outside. We will visit one of the more modest houses, and also explore the ancient baths, temples, theaters, and markets.

Every corner of Pompeii has its story; there is much to see, and you will feel as if you are traveling back in time.

At the end of our tour of the Pompeii site, we will return to the port of Naples by bus for the farewell and boarding of your cruise,
