Cruise Critic Roll Call

One of our drivers will meet you at port of Sorrento. He will be waiting outside of the cruise ship terminal, holding a sign with the group name on it.

Leaving your cruise ship behind you, your English-speaking driver will drive you to Pompeii.

Ancient Pompeii is considered the best Roman archaeological site destroyed by Vesuvius in the eruption of 79 AD.

An estimated 2 hours should be adequate for a good visit of the site.

Afterwards we will head for Mount Vesuvius, taking a steep uphill road. The crater is reached on foot, at 1,282m above sea level, approx. 30 -40 mins. Its most famous eruption is that of 24 August 79AD, in which Pompei; Herculaneum and Oplontis were destroyed.

The UNESCO has renamed Vesuvius: "World Reserve of the Biosphere".

After the visit to Mount Vesuvius we will drive towards ancient Herculaneum. The discovery of Herculaneum dates back to1709 when the Austrian Prince Elboeuf, commissioned a well to be dug in his garden. In 1738 King Carlo di Borbone ordered the first official excavations – aimed at revealing the magnificent city which still remains partially buried under the modern urban town. The Villa dei Papiri is a fine example as it is only reached by a narrow underground tunnel.

Again approx. 2 hours are required to visit this site.

After this wonderful day out, you will be driven back on perfect time to re board your ship.

If we start our tour around 8.00 am we'll be back at ship by 4.00/4.30pm.

Please note that the order of the itinerary might change.
