The extension of such a past to the present day is a noisy, high-crime, a little shabby and a little complicated but worth-seeing metropolis. On this tour, while wandering among the human and house remains in Pompeii, buried under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius, you will experience the incredible destruction that nature can create upon us and the power of nature. Afterwards we will stop by Naples and, following a panoramic bus tour, we will see the Royal Square (Piazza del Plebiscito). At the end of the tour we return to our ship. Dinner and overnight stay on board.
