Overview

Cruise passengers arriving in the port of Naples can explore legendary Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius, the only active volcano in continental Europe, on this full-day guided tour from Naples. It is a shore excursion not to be missed by any visitor to this region of Italy and includes both a guided tour of Pompeii's haunting ruins and a climb to the smoking summit of volcanic Mt Vesuvius.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park, Porta Marina (via Villa dei Misteri), 80045 Pompeii Italy

After pickup from your cruise ship dock, take a 30 minute drive to Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was entirely destroyed by the sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. The largest archaeological site in Europe, today Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

When you arrive, your guide will skip the line to buy your group’s tickets and lead you on a 2 hour walking tour of the fascinating grounds. Witness the destruction first-hand as you visit Pompeii’s most famous sites, including the Forum, thermal baths, lupanare, greek theatre and plaster casts of the bodies of Pompeii people, giving you a glimpse into daily life during the Pax Romana. Today you can see shapes of objects — even bodies — that were buried beneath the volcanic ash and pumice.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Vesuvius National Park, Via Palazzo del Principe, 80044 Ottaviano Italy

After Pompeii visit, enjoy some free time to browse the shops followed by a pizza lunch with your group. Then board the coach and drive 40 minutes to legendary Mt Vesuvius.

Embark on a moderate hike up the volcano with your guide. When you reach the summit at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters), you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the picturesque Bay of Naples from east to west. Peer down into the crater and see plumes of steam issuing from the sleeping, but still active, volcano!

There is a rest point where you can choose to wait for your group if you do not wish to climb all the way to the top, but the hike is worth the effort.

After your Mt Vesuvius hike, relax on the drive back to Naples in the late afternoon.

Duration: 1 hour

Seeing Pompeii. The guide was knowledgeable and went at a good pace. Unfortunately we couldn’t go all the way up to the volcano due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control. On the ride back to the ship it would have been nice if the new tour guide had shared her knowledge a bit more.

Must do when visiting Naples. What a feeling of accomplishment when climbing to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. Note: No restrooms are there. Pompeii was not what I expected. In a good way. Pizza was the best in all Italy ports

The excursion was excellent. We took a bus up to Mt Vesuvius and hiked to the top for the amazing views. Then on to an excellent tour of Pompei. Lunch was excellent. Them main improvement would be for the tour to provide some cool water. It was a very hot day and a nice cool water after the hike and again after walking around Pompei would have been excellent. .

Very well organised, Verauvius in the heat was hard, but Limoncello shop stop before made it easier, great tasting and surprising ingredients! Pizza lunch break also ideal, fantastic, huge pizza! Pompeii guide Miguel was great, lots of fun and made sure we stopped in the shade wherever we could, very eye opening. A fantastic memory moment. Rosa made it very easy to fit it all in plus get back before the ship sailed.

What an amazing excursion. Rosa was great and kept everything organized. They say you get a slice of pizza, but the pizza was like a medium size in the United States. It was delicious. The tour at the Volcano was good and Pompeii was also amazing. Our tour guide Mikael was funny and very informative. I would rate this a 10 :)
