Naples, Italy

Sorrento & Pompeii

Two Views of Italy Contrast life in two different cities at two different times in history on this eye-opening excursion. Join your guide for a drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii, where you can explore a city that was frozen in time when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. You will stroll its cobblestone streets past the mansions of the wealthy and the modest homes of the working class and stop to see great public buildings that once bustled with crowds. As you explore, your knowledgeable guide will describe a typical day in Pompeii and the eruption that led to its demise. Afterward, you will drive along the winding road that hugs the sides of the rocky cliffs and enjoy stunning views of the Italian Riviera. Stop in Sorrento, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch and a guided walk through the narrow streets and wide-open square at the city’s heart, before returning to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
