Depart from the pier for your Naples shore excursion and make your way to Pompeii. The tour escort will be ready for your arrival to commence the exploration of this ancient site, widely considered as one of the most renowned archaeological excavations globally. At its peak, Pompeii was home to 20,000 people and it is believed that 2,000 of them perished instantly when volcanic ash poured down on the city, creating ghostly casts formed by bodies that were encased and incinerated in the hot ash.

Upon arrival, you will receive your augmented reality glasses and earphones that will allow you to travel through the past! All commentaries inside the archaeological site will be provided by the audio-visual guide. You'll have the chance to observe 360° reconstructions, holograms, and 3D objects of the old Pompeii. Walk along intact streets and inspect prominent mansions, private homes adorned with mosaic floors, brilliant frescoes, and other works of art, all of which provide an impression of Roman life as it was 2,000 years ago.

Admire the mansions and the art of wealthy patricians who moved to Pompeii to escape the turmoil of Rome; view countless paintings and inscriptions. See the streets with raised pavements on both sides and the stepping-stones that ensure pedestrians a safe crossing at intersections. After your visit to Pompeii, you will return to Naples.
