Meeting point and pick-up at the cruise terminal. The guided tour of Pompeii will last about 2 hours, here a flourishing civilization, buried for 1,700 years, has been brought to life again and where you can see how the citizens of the greatest empire the world has ever known lived.
Entering Pompeii by the Sea Gate you will be guided first in the Forum, Pompei's main square, surrounded by temples, porticoes and law courts. 20,000 people lived in this provincial town, of which 2,000 perished in the horrifying eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. Twenty feet of volcanic ash and pumice stone covered Pompeii. Much of this has been removed over the last 200 years to reveal the details of everyday life in Pompeii.
In the second part of the day you will drive to Naples to visit the Archeological park of Baia, you will get a private boat to go to snorkel in the ancient Roman holiday resort that today is underwater!
After the visit you will proceed back to the cruise terminal.
