Rome & Private Visit of the Sistine Chapel

A Rome Panorama and an After-Hours Viewing of Michelangelo's Masterpiece Combine the best of Rome with a unique opportunity to visit the breath-taking Sistine Chapel after hours. Meet your local guide in the “Eternal City,” where you will view the great monuments of ancient Rome: the Aurelian Walls, the Pyramid of Cestius, Circus Maximus and the Colosseum. A drive along the elegant Via Veneto delivers you to Vatican City, the smallest sovereign state in the world. When you arrive, delight in a hearty Italian aperitivo as the crowds thin, before a relaxed visit to the world-renowned Vatican Museum. Admire pieces from Roman, Middle Age and Renaissance times. Next, enjoy a private visit to the Sistine Chapel, listening as your guide provides commentary. Marvel at magnificent religious art, most notably, Michelangelo’s spectacular ceiling and the iconic Hand of God giving life to Adam. After, return to your ship via the floodlit streets of Rome. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
