Explore the fascinating ruin site of Herculaneum firsthand. Explore the House of Skeletons, visit the picturesque Old Marina and experience the breathtaking Augustales Temple.
Start your tour by meeting your tour guide and accessible van at the cruise dock. From here, you will head out on a scenic drive to the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum. Upon arrival, you will embark on an accessible walking/rolling tour that allows you to experience the sites up close.
Your visit starts with seeing the iconic ancient town walls before making your way to the Old Marina, where archaeologists found over 250 skeletons back in 1980. Following this, you will see the famous House of Skeletons and the Termopolium, which served as a distribution place for those who did not have food. You will also see the breathtaking Augustales Temple which is thought to be the headquarters of the Collegium Augustalium . The final stop of the day will be the House of the Black Salon . This was one of the more luxurious mansions in Herculaneum and stands in an interesting contrast to the other highlights you have seen throughout your tour.
On your way back to the cruise ship, you’ll do a panoramic tour to see some of the highlight of Naples. These include the Plebescito Square, the San Carlo Theatre, the Galleria Umberto covered pavilion, the Royal Palace of Naples, and Castel Nuovo overlooking the harbor.
