Come and enjoy two highlights of the Campania Region of Italy in one amazing day; Capri Island and the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii. Experience both the beauty and power of nature as you explore this lovely island and infamous volcano. From the fashion-forward boutiques to the quaint craftsman shops, the crystal blue sea to the spectacular colors of the Gardens, Capri will not be forgotten. Life in Pompeii was frozen by the Vesuvius eruption. In this second part of the excursion, you will discover the social life in the ancient Roman city that laid the foundation for today.

Upon meeting with your friendly guide outside your Naples cruise terminal, you will walk to the hydrofoil terminal (a 5-minute walk from the cruise port) to begin your exciting journey across the water to Capri Island. Once you arrive "island side", you will board the Capri Funicular, whisking you up to the Piazzetta, the main square, where you can wander the streets, experiencing the culture. The funicolare or funicular is a type of railcar. A passionate local guide will escort you throughout the morning as you visit the beautiful Garden of Augustus and the Belvedere, to capture the exquisite views of the Gulf of Naples and bountiful botany. You will have free time to continue your browsing and an opportunity to experience the local fair. You might find interesting souvenirs or maybe a little restaurant to enjoy a delicious lunch.
When your time at Capri is over, the funicular will return you to the hydrofoil to venture back to Naples. In the comfort of luxury transportation, you will begin the short trip to Pompeii. You will explore the site for 1.5 hours and discover the secrets of life in this ancient city. Frozen by the Vesuvius eruption of the 79 A.D., this ancient city provides opportunities to explore the thermal baths, frescos of Lupanare, bartering in the marketplace, the Macellum, the Basilica, and the House of Faun, one of the largest and most elaborated homes of the time period. Note that entrance to the ruins must be paid on-site and is not included in the excursion cost.
