Upon meeting your professional, English speaking guide close to your cruise port, you will set out for the 75-minute scenic drive to Mount Vesuvius in the comfort of a city sightseeing shuttle bus. While onboard, you will be able to enjoy the vivid audio outlining the history of the volcano available in five different languages.

Once you have arrived, there is a 10 Euro entrance fee per person (fee not included, only euros are accepted) and then you are ready to explore the site at your leisure and own pace. Mount Vesuvius is the only active volcano in mainland Europe and is responsible for some of the continent's largest volcanic eruptions and one of the most famous in history. Located on Italy's west coast, it overlooks the Bay and City of Naples in the distance and sits in the crater of the ancient Somma volcano and is part of one of the most recognized skylines in the world.

Mount Vesuvius has experienced eight major eruptions in the last 17,000 years. The 79 AD eruption is one of the most well-known ancient eruptions of all time. Ash, mud, and rocks from this eruption buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The volcano's last recorded eruption was in 1944 during World War II. You'll have 2 hours approximately to discover this amazing volcano and take some amazing pictures of this unique landscape on a self-guided visit. The onboard staff will tell you where and when exactly to meet so you do not miss your ride back!

At the end of your exploration time, you'll board your shuttle to return to the original meeting point in Naples where you can walk back to your cruise terminal or continue exploring at your leisure and expense.

Please note: A separate voucher will be emailed to you. You must print the voucher and give it to the local operator in order to do the excursion; do not give them your Shore Excursioneer eticket.
