Overview
Departing directly from the Salerno cruise ship terminal, this half-day excursion travels in comfort aboard an air-conditioned vehicle to one of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites: Pompeii.
Upon arrival near the archaeological park, you’ll enjoy a short service stop with access to restrooms. During this break, guests will also visit a traditional cameo workshop, where skilled local artisans demonstrate the centuries-old craft of hand-carving shells, an art form deeply rooted in the region’s heritage.
The guided visit inside the Pompeii Archaeological Park lasts approximately two hours. Accompanied by a professional guide, you’ll explore one of the most extraordinary ancient cities ever discovered, walking along original Roman streets and uncovering remarkably well-preserved villas, temples, bathhouses, shops, and marketplaces that offer vivid insight into daily life nearly 2,000 years ago.
A particularly powerful moment of the visit is seeing the famous plaster casts of the victims of the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, poignant reminders of Pompeii’s final moments and one of the site’s most moving features.
To ensure the best possible experience, the itinerary within the ruins may be adjusted according to crowd levels and site accessibility on the day of the visit.
At the conclusion of the tour, you’ll return comfortably to Salerno Port in good time to rejoin your ship, having experienced one of Italy’s most fascinating and unforgettable historical treasures.
