INFORMATIONS

Description

Enjoy the countryside view on the 4 hours drive from the port to Phnom Penh. Upon arrival in Phnom Pehn, you will drive through

busy traffic to visit the elegant Royal Palace, the home of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk and her

Majesty Preah Reach ‘ Mohesey Norodom Monineath Sihanouk. The Palace is actually a number of structures within a pagoda-style

compound. An awe-inspiring sight, the throne room, or the main building has a tiered roof topped by a 59m tower. Then stroll along

the pathway to also visit Silver Pagoda, the royal chapel, located within the Royal Palace grounds but walled off in a separate

enclosure. The silver Pagoda takes its name from the estimated 5,000 silver tiles covering the floor of the main temple. Each tile is

made from a kilogram of silver. Although plundered by the Khmer Rouge, the Silver Pagoda contains some superb Buddha statuary;

a few artefacts from the royal collection are displayed in glass cases.

Next you will stop for a lunch of Cambodian specialities at Bopha Phnom Penh Titanic Restaurant by the river. After lunch, visit the

National Museum designed by French archaeologist and painter George Grislier, and constructed in traditional style by Cambodian

craftsmen in 1917 and first opened in 1920. Although it is small, the museum harbours an astonishing wealth of Khmer stone,

bronze, and wooden sculpture.

The last stop is for you to explore the Central Market (close at 17.00 hrs.) which was built in 1937 and is a masterpiece of Art Deco

design - perhaps one of the finest examples of this era in Southeast Asia. The building features a huge central dome with four wings

where consists of numerous stalls that sell goods ranging from gold and silver, antique coins, money exchange, men and women

apparels, clocks, books, flowers, food, fabrics, shoes, souvenirs, fish, seafood, dessert, luggage, and countless other products. Then

you will return to port and reboard to the ship.

The wealth of pagodas and dwellings and the large number of navigable canals led to it being known as Venice of the East.

We then visit the enchanting and important complex of the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, also known as the Summer Palace,

which was built in 1632. The current buildings are the result of a restoration commissioned between 1872 and 1889 by King

Chulalongkorn and are eclectic examples of Thai, European and Chinese architecture.

The palace is made up of five imposing buildings: a lovely Thai-style pavilion right in the middle of an artificial lake, a two-

storey pavilion of European influence for official ceremonies, a pavilion which was once used as residence during the high tide

season, a Chinese-style pavilion where the court used to live during the cool rainy season and an observatory located on an

islet offering breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside.

After a thrilling elephant ride (2 people per animal), we visit the Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, the most important temple in the

ancient complex of the Grand Royal Palace made up of three large stupas dating back to the family of King Rama Thibodi II

and his father, who both lived here in the 15th century, and which had the same function as Bangkok’s Emerald Buddha

Temple.

Our excursion continues with the Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit, where one of the largest seated Buddha statues in the world

is located together will smaller statues found in the same area.

The vihara (hall) was destroyed in 1767 when the Burmese ransacked Ayutthaya and was rebuilt in the original style in 1956.

Finally, we visit the Wat Yai Chai Mongkon, a majestic meditation pagoda built in 1357 by King U Thong and whose remains

can be seen from afar.

We end our historical excursion with a buffet lunch of Thai specialities in a local restaurant before heading back to the port.

Singapore’s night-life.

We sail along the river as we take in the extravagant contrast between the pier’s historic part and the captivating skyline of

modern Singapore with its glistening skyscrapers standing out against the sky.

We reach Merlion Park, where we get the chance to take a few photographs of the enchanting light effects on the famous

statue depicting the Merlion, a mythical creature with a lion's head and fish body symbol of Singapore.

We continue on foot as far as the marvellous Marina Bay Sands hotel near the port of Singapore. It features two towers

connected through a wide roof terrace. As we get closer, we see it stand out against the horizon with an almost golden hue

created by the thousand lights.

Once there, we are amazed by the extraordinary “Wonder Full” show: a truly breathtaking play of lights, water and laser

effects about the journey of life made even more fascinating by the amazing skyline in the background and by the orchestra

providing the soundtrack.

We climb to the hotel’s top floor where the famous Sky Park is located: a panoramic terrace covering one hectare suspended

over the city with tropical gardens, a viewpoint and an enormous infinity pool overlooking the city 200 metres high.

We enjoy a fabulous panorama of night-time Singapore as we sip a cocktail at the Sky Bar and feel lucky we can raise a toast

which also offers the unique and extraordinary spectacle of a succession of stalactites and stalagmites in a truly unspoiled

habitat.

Before returning to the ship we have a break in one of the many duty free complexes where we can indulge in last minute

LANGKAWI (MALESIA)EXPLORING THE ISLAND OF LEGENDS: LANGKAWI



●

●

●

Our excursion begins with a visit to a farm where latex is extracted from a rubber tree. Although the famous "rubber tree" is

native to the Amazon region, towards the end of the 19th century it was exported to Asia and caught on mainly in South-East

Asia where it has flourished ever since. The production of natural rubber, obtained from the extraction of latex from the plant

by making perpendicular incisions in the bark, is a very lucrative business for the island. Here we can see the skill of local

workers as they make these incisions to extract the precious liquid.

We continue on our excursion and visit a place that is quite renowned on the island because it is linked to one of the main

local legends. The Mahsuri Mausoleum is a must for anybody visiting the island. Mahsuri is the most popular legendary

character in Langkawi: according to the legend she was an extremely beautiful woman, the daughter of a couple who had

landed on the island in search of a better life. She became the wife of a valiant warrior and when her husband left to fight in

the war, she was falsely accused of adultery by the village chief's wife, who had become desperately jealous of her beauty.

Although she protested her innocence, she was sentenced to death and executed by repeated stabbing with a keris (a

traditional Malay weapon). It is said that she bled white blood from her wounds, a sign of her innocence, and that before

breathing her last breath, Mahsuri cursed the island, predicting bad luck for seven generations. Today the seven generation

curse has now come to an end and many people in Langkawi believe that the island's recent prosperity coincides with the end

of the curse.

And as a fitting end we move on to another truly unique attraction: Eagle Square, dominated by the gigantic sculpture of an

eagle about to soar into the sky. The eagle is the symbol of the island, whose name Langkawi in colloquial Malay means island

of the "reddish brown eagle", like the one here. We end our excursion at the Handicraft Studio, where we can make some

purchases and take home some typical souvenirs from this wonderful island.

What we will do

The Island of Langkawi is home to around 200 bird species, many of which are migrants which come to spend the winter here in the

warm climate, from November to April. This obviously makes it the ideal place for all bird watching enthusiasts. * Langkawi boasts a

huge variety of ecosystems and natural habitats making it a comfortable resting place for birds. This is why a wide variety of avifauna

is always present on the island. An ecosystem like that of this authentic tropical paradise made up of lowlands, tropical forests and

mangroves, reed beds, rice fields, orchards, steppes and marshy lakes offers an ideal environment for birds, both migratory and

resident. * In our 5 hours of bird watching, we may see up to 20-30 different bird species which populate the jungle, the rice fields

or the river which crosses Langkawi. * The first lookout point is Gunung Raya, the highest mountain on the island. With an altitude of

881 m, the mountain dominates the island, commanding an excellent view for sightings, mainly of mountain birds. * We then

proceed and descend towards the lowlands and the rice fields in search of birds that do not venture to great heights, preferring the

more peaceful and sleepy atmosphere of the marshes, the reed beds and the plains in general. We can really have fun with our

sightings, keeping ready to take photographs and capture images of these wonderful, brightly coloured specimens. At the end of our

expedition we return to the ship.

We will proceed to the fishermen's village of Taqah, third largest "city" in Dhofar, which has always been inhabited by farmers

and fishermen. Taqah is presently famous, primarily for its tasty sardines.

From Taqah we will head to the Bay of Khor Rori, where it is believed the destroyed city of Sumhuram once stood, capital of

the exotic incense trade of ancient Arabia. In ancient times, Dhofar was an important hub for incense trading. It is no

coincidence that the Three Wise Men who brought this gift to Baby Jesus came from Dhofar. Nowadays, incense is not used

as it once was and these trees are now only found in a few locations (Yemen and Oman). The excavations served to prove the

existence of an ancient inhabited centre which held maritime commercial relationships with the Far East as well as far-off

Greece. Additionally, it is believed that this is the place where the palace from the legend of the Queen of Saba stood, which is

presently in ruins and undergoing restoration.

We will stop for lunch in a hotel in Salalah.

On the return to the ship, we will stop in Mughsail beach: Three kilometres of marvellous white, unspoilt beaches, framed by

high cliffs on both sides and numerous picnic areas. These extremely white beaches are known for their sea geysers: with a bit

of luck, we will see sensational water jets coming out of the natural openings dug into the rock and which, at times, can reach

excavations, begun by the Germans in 1875 and as yet ongoing, where we will be able to admire the sanctuary which housed

a wonderful complex of monuments within the sacred enclosure (Altis), including the Temple of Zeus, the Temple of Hera

(where the Olympic torch-lighting ceremony is held), the Gymnasium, the Palestra and the Stadium. The temple dedicated to

Zeus is the most famous: it contained the statue of the deity by Phaedias, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the

ancient world.

Let's continue our itinerary to admire one of the most beautiful collections in Greece, preserved in the Archaeological Museum

of Olympia. We will marvel at the finds from Ancient Greece, at the splendid metopes from the Temple of Zeus and the Nike

of Peonius, to end in style with the splendid statue of Hermes with Dionysus, the masterpiece by Praxiteles discovered in the

Modern Olympia

What we will do

We leave the port of Katakolon to discover the ancient sacred city of Olympia, full of temples, monuments, priests' houses,

athletes' homes and public buildings. A gem set in a valley crossed by the River Alfios in the north-west Peloponnese, the city

held the famous Olympic Games in honour of Zeus every four years. Here in 776 BC, a list of winners was drawn up for the

first time, presumably the results of the very first Olympics in history.

As we stroll around ancient Olympia amongst the archaeological excavations, it feels as though we can still hear the spectators

shouting to encourage the athletes and breathe the festive atmosphere, which accompanied those 5, very long days, during

which the best athletes challenged each other in the various sports: wrestling matches, charriot and horse races, the

pentathlon and pankration (a primitive form of boxing). Let's delve into the past and discover the little secrets of the

competition, which was first accessible only for male athletes of Greek origin and was later opened up to young Romans.

Perhaps not everyone knows that women and slaves were banned from the town, the sanctuaries and the terraces, at the risk

of a terrible death by being thrown from a nearby cliff.

We will stop in the ancient squares, where traders and citizens once met to carry out their business.

At the end of our guided tour, we have to wake up from the spell of the past and return to reality if we are not to miss the

chance of discovering the streets of modern Olympia. We can taste a typical, strong, Greek coffee, savour a cool glass of Ouzo

or, if we wish, purchase a souvenir to remind us back home of a piece of history which made us live a dream.

Description

Olympia, the archaeological gem of the Peloponnese, allows us to journey back in time and relive the magic of its historical origins,

the dawning of sports ethics and its ancient culture. The kids will be able to feel like athletes from ancient times and challenge each

other in an event similar to the Olympic Games of Ancient Greece. A unique occasion for young and old alike!

Young partecipants at the tour re-enacting the ancient Olympic Games

What we will do

An expert guide awaits us at Olympia to take us on a discovery tour of the ancient city, where the remains of temples, statues,

public buildings and the homes of priests and athletes bear witness to the pomp and ceremony of the past. Lying in a valley

along the River Alfios in north-western Peloponnese, Olympia held the famous Olympic Games in honour of Zeus every four

years. Here in 776 BC, a list of winners was drawn up for the first time, presumably the results of the very first Olympics in

history.

As we stroll around ancient Olympia amongst the archaeological excavations, it feels as though we can still hear the spectators

shouting to encourage the athletes and breathe the festive atmosphere which accompanied those 5, very long days, during

which the best athletes challenged each other in the various sports: wrestling matches, charriot and horse races, the

pentathlon and pankration (a primitive form of boxing). Let's delve into the past and discover the little secrets of the

competition which was first accessible only for male athletes of Greek origin and was later opened up to young Romans.

Perhaps not everyone knows that women and slaves were banned from the town, the sanctuaries and the terraces, at the risk

of a terrible death by being thrown from a nearby cliff.

We will stop in the ancient squares, where traders and citizens once met to carry out their business.

After our exciting tour of the excavations, the kids can feel like athletes from Ancient Greece and challenge one another in an

event similar to the ancient Olympic Games, to relive the fun of the past. The winner will be crowned according to ancient

tradition with an olive branch, the kotinos, in honour of Zeus, the father of the Gods.

Before we end our excursion, all the children will be given a certificate of participation to remind them of this unforgettable

day when they competed "not for the prize, but for the honour".

What we will do

We will leave the tiny fishing village of Katakolon and take a short walk to the typical farm near Olympia to discover Greece at

its most authentic. Thanks to the owners warm welcome, we will feel at home straight away. The party begins with a toast of

welcome with Ouzo, a local liqueur used to celebrate special events or just to welcome home friends and family. We will go

and see how they grow olives and learn about the various activities of this family-run farm, deeply rooted in the agricultural

traditions, which the people in this area have always followed to make a living.

Our tour of the estate amidst the olive groves, vineyards and orchards will help us rediscover the health benefits of contact

with the land. Of course, there'll be plenty of animals, too: lambs, sheep, ponies, dogs, cats, pheasants, peacocks, doves and

hares. Our morning will end with a visit to the chicken run, where we will meet geese, birds, chickens and other animals.

It's time for a snack and we will restore body and soul with a tasting of delicious, uniquely flavoured local products,

accompanied by the cheerful notes of the Sirtaki, the traditional Greek dance. Anyone can join in the dancing right in the

middle of this exciting Greek party. We will dance and eat with the owners in a warm, relaxing atmosphere, which reveals how

important hospitality is for the Greek people. According to an ancient tradition, where families were duty bound to welcome

travellers in honour of Zeus, a guest is sacred.

We haven't forgotten the kids, who will have an unforgettable day, surrounded by nature and animals in a peaceful, serene

environment. Accompanied by staff from the estate, our younger visitors will take centre stage in the farm activities. They will

get to feed the ponies and help prepare some Greek salad and Souvlaki kebabs to cook on the barbecue to enjoy alongside

their parents.

Our younger guests will get a chance to become little Zorbas and join their parents on the dance floor to learn the typical

Greek dance.

After this experience full of emotions which will remain forever in our memories, we return to our ship, leaving a part of our

hearts here in this authentic place, known for its spirit of friendship and deep respect.

What we will see

Town of Atrani: historic centre, the Piazzetta, San Salvatore de Birecto and Santa Maria Maddalena (external visit)

What we will do

We leave Naples behind us and head south towards the Amalfi Coast to discover the enchanting small town of Atrani:

sandwiched between the sea and the plunging cliff and almost connected physically to Amalfi, it is located on a strip of land at

the estuary of the Dragone river.

Surrounded by rocky peaks and a picturesque bay, Atrani is the best-preserved coastal town with a typically Medieval

structure.

Once there, we can explore the centre - we can stroll in the maze of alleyways, steps and archways and let ourselves be

enchanted by the contrast of light and shadows in the characteristic squares, the white façades and the colourful gardens and

vegetable plots.

We reach the Piazzetta (town square), the heart of the city, and a marvellous urban courtyard where the locals and tourists

from all over the world meet from early in the morning and late at night between bars and restaurant tables and on the steps

of the church of San Salvatore.

We take the chance to visit some of the numerous churches, a source of pride to the town due to their artistic treasures and,

most of all, for the charm and setting of the places where they were erected. The church of San Salvatore de Birecto stands

out among all of them and is where the foremost government authorities were appointed. It was built in 940 but was later

spectacular arcade built between 1887 and 1890 as part of an effort to revamp the city.

We then cross the Piazza del Plebiscito, one of the most famous and beautiful of Naples' piazzas. With a surface area of

25,000 square metres it is one of the biggest piazzas in Italy and often serves as a venue for major events. Here we can see

the magnificent Palazzo Reale, one of the four residences used by the Bourbon Royal Family in the period of the Kingdom of

the Two Sicilies, and the Church of St. Francis of Paola, which features an impressive pronaos with six Ionic columns.

We then head along the Riviera di Chiaia, a seafront boulevard of noble palazzi that links Piazza della Vittoria with Piazza della

Aragonese domination. Here we pass in front of Villa Pignatelli to reach Posillipo, an elegant quarter which occupies a hill in

the west of Naples and offers sumptuous views of the gulf and the city.

At the end of this part of the tour we cross Via Caracciolo, the street named after the hero of the Neapolitan Republic who

was captured and sentenced to death by Nelson in 1799. This coastline is truly breathtaking and is indeed considered one of

the most beautiful coastal panoramas in the world. Once it was only the beach that separated the road from the sea, but now

there is also a substantial man-made reef. At this point we have some free time before we return to the ship.

eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 AD. Excavations of this world-famous site, which started in the 18th century, and were

resumed in the last century, brought to light finds of inestimable value that have left a profound impression on millions of

visitors.

Our excursion starts at Porta Marina, through which we access the Forum, the centre of political and economic life of the city.

The area is dominated by the Roman Temple of Jupiter, built around the year 250 BC in honour of the god Jupiter, and the

Basilica, the most imposing public building in Pompei, which was used both as a court of law and a place for conducting

business transactions. It was built between the years 130 and 120 BC.

We then go along the Street of Abundance, Pompeii's lower decumanus (east-west oriented road in a Roman city). The name

originates from an ornamental bas-relief on a fountain located in the initial stretch of the road near the Forum. It is still richly

decorated and, as such, offers the most interesting route for our visit to the excavations. Along this street we can see many of

the most beautiful houses that belonged to the rich bourgeoisie of Pompeii, some of which have two floors.

Indeed, from here we come to the House of the Ancient Hunt, which dates to the mid 2nd century BC. The sophisticated, and

well-preserved frescoes and the typical "atrium" plan leave no doubt about the elevated social status of the owner. We also

visit the House of the Faun - a private noble dwelling of considerable dimensions (3000 square metres) that owes its name to

a bronze statue in the centre of the impluvium - and the Thermal Baths.

The visit to the archaeological excavations involves walking for approximately 2 hours.

It is recommended that you wear comfortable shoes for the tour of the excavations.

Anacapri: Villa San Michele and its fine 17th-century furniture and archaeological artefacts

Capri: Piazza Umberto I, Faraglioni (sea stacks)

What we will do

We leave on board a hydrofoil from the dock where the ship is berthed and we reach the island of Capri, an island of ragged

coastlines, natural caves, sheer sea cliffs and high grounds covered in vineyards and gardens, where villas and other dwellings

are embedded seamlessly in the surrounding environment.

From Marina Grande, where the hydrofoil berths, we board a minibus that takes us along a scenic route to Anacapri, the

island's biggest town, which is situated on the northern side of Mount Solaro. The "Ana-" prefix of the name Anacapri comes

from Greek and it means "up" or "above".

During our stop in Anacapri we have the opportunity to visit Villa San Michele, the late 19th-century home of Axel Munthe,

the famous Swedish doctor and writer. The villa, which is rather eclectic and heterogeneous from an architectural point of

view, is located in the Capodimonte area, on the edge of a cliff that overhangs the Bagni di Tiberio below. Immersed in a

wonderful landscape, between the green of the Mediterranean maquis and the cobalt blue of the sea, the villa houses

precious 17th century furniture and archaeological remains, amongst which there are fragments of sarcophagi, busts, Roman

floors, marble, columns and a Greek tomb.

We continue on to the town of Capri, the capital and hub of tourism and the island's social scene. We stop in the famous, and

very central, Piazza Umberto I better known as the Piazzetta which is surrounded on all sides, like a courtyard, by small white

houses. It is impossible not to stop here, even just for a coffee or an aperitif. The Piazzetta is the pulsing heart of Capri, the

cornerstone around which island life revolves and the "world's living room" in that it is a meeting place and key attraction for

everyone, from tourists to major figures from the worlds of cinema, fashion, politics, and business.

Before returning by minibus to Marina Grande, from where we go back to Naples, we have the chance to take some

photographs, do a little shopping or enjoy a romantic walk and admire the Faraglioni, three spurs of rock to the south east of

the island that rise out of the blue waters creating a spectacular scene.

We enjoy a journey back in time at the archaeological site of Herculaneum, which has preserved its ancient treasures in almost

perfect condition.

What we will see

Archaeological excavations in Herculaneum

Houses

Villa of the Papyri

Collegium of the Augustales

Suburban Baths and Forum Baths

Theatre of Herculaneum

What we will do

Accompanied by a guide, we leave the port of Naples and head south to Herculaneum. In ancient times, the local Roman

aristocracy chose Herculaneum as the location for their finest and most luxurious villas, the majority of which commanded

magnificent views of the sea.

While the wooden structures of Pompeii were burned by the ashes, the destruction of Herculaneum was caused by a flood of

hot mud that sealed and therefore protected entire homes. This is why today in the archaeological site of Herculaneum

visitors can admire inlaid floors, mosaics and even paintings that are in almost perfect condition. The archaeological area,

together with the ruins of Pompeii and the villas of Oplontis, was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1997.

The excavation work at Herculaneum began officially in 1738 using the method of underground tunnels. The period between

1828 and 1875 saw a campaign of "open air" excavations but these were interrupted for a very long time. Almost all of the

area which constitutes the present archaeological site only came to light in 1942.

During our visit to the archaeological excavations we discover the beauty of this place, with its wealth of unique and fascinating

remains. Along the way we discover many luxurious houses, each of which preserves special features: mosaics, paintings,

wooden doors or partitions, statues or splendid terraces. One of the most magnificent residences is undoubtedly the Villa of

the Papyri in which 58 bronze and 21 marble statues were found, in addition to 1,700 papyrus scrolls (which explains the

name), which were discovered, enclosed in cases, in the library.

There is also ample evidence of religious life in this place, demonstrated by the Collegium of the Augustales. Dedicated to

Augustus, it was always protected by a guard, whose skeleton was found inside, lying in bed. Even recreational activities had an

important role, as the presence of the Suburban Baths, the Forum Baths, the Gymnasium and the Theatre of Herculaneum

suggest.

It is recommended that you wear comfortable shoes for the tour of the excavations.

Cappella Sansevero, Anatomical machines

via San Gregorio Armeno

Napoli Sotterranea

Tasting of typical products

What we will do

We begin our excursion by heading to the heart of the historic centre to visit the Cappella Sansevero, a true treasure trove

where we can admire priceless works of art and oddities shrouded in mystery. The credit for this splendour must go to

Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero, who decorated the family chapel with frescoes and sculptures in the 18th century .

In addition to the works of art, the Chapel hosts two "creatures" devised by the Prince, who was a scientist and an alchemist,

together with Giuseppe Salerno, a doctor from Palermo. They are known as Anatomical machines: two skeletons, one of a

man and the other of a woman, standing upright, their circulatory systems almost perfectly preserved. Some notary's deeds

have been found that date these creations to 1763/64. The techniques and materials used to preserve the system of veins

and arteries in such an exceptional way remain a mystery to this very day.

After visiting the chapel, we take a walk around the historic centre which leads us to Via San Gregorio Armeno, the famous

"via dei presepi" (street of the nativity scenes), where skilled craftsmen work all year round to create the small models used in

the nativity scenes for which the city is famous. This street, which is popularly known as "San Liguoro", bears traits of the typical

Greek town plan, with its stenopoi (secondary streets) .

The next stop is Napoli Sotterranea (Naples Underground), a system of catacombs, tunnels, secret passages and Greek-

Roman aqueducts that runs for hundreds of kilometres beneath the city. It is a fascinating, mysterious place which, over the

centuries, has been used as a place of pagan worship and a Christian catacomb, as well as housing granaries and water tanks.

During the Second World War, it was used as an air-raid shelter.

When we reach 1000 metres above sea level, we continue with the ascent towards the crater of the volcano on foot. At the

summit, we can admire a unique landscape, with the "great void" of the crater and magnificent views of the Gulf of Naples. The

natural spectacle is undoubtedly a delight for the eyes and will remain indelible in our memories.

The walk to the summit is a sure way to work up an appetite. So what could be better than sampling some local delicacies in a

tasting session of some of the products that are typical of the Vesuvius National Park. A fitting end to a wonderful experience.

What we will do

We leave the Port of Naples by coach and head for Caserta and its splendid Royal Palace.

The Royal Palace of Caserta, which was once the historic residence of Naples' Bourbon royal family, is recognised by UNESCO

as a World Heritage Site. It is one of the most visited, and renowned examples of Italy's rich artistic heritage. The Bourbon King

Charles of Naples, struck by the beauty of the landscape at Caserta and anxious that Naples have a worthy seat of

government, decided in 1750 to build a residence that could compare with Versailles.

Construction started on 20 January 1752 and continued without any interruption until 1759, the year when Charles had to

move to Spain. At that point construction work slowed down and when the architect, Luigi Vanvitelli, died in 1773 the palace

had not yet been completed. It was therefore his children, Louis and Charles who completed this monumental palace. The

palace has a rectangular plan and is made up of blocks surrounding four internal courtyards, covering a surface area of

approximately 47,000 square metres.

The Royal Palace is surrounded by extensive grounds that are three kilometres long and cover approximately 120 hectares.

They comprise two sections: the Italian garden and the English garden, the former characterized by various fountains and the

famous Grand Cascade, and the latter by thick vegetation.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is considered a masterpiece of architectural perfection and harmony. One of the largest royal

residences in the world, it is largely the product of the artistic genius of Luigi Vanvitelli.


We recommend wearing comfortable shoes.

imagine the audience sitting and watching a gladiator show.

Our guide will take us around the majestic ruins to the Garden of the Fugitives, where many victims of the eruption were

found, caught in the volcano's fury as they tried to escape from the city.

We will enter the House of the Ship Europa, with rooms that open out onto the peristyle and many clearly rustic spaces, and

we will walk along the Decumanus Maximus and Via dell'Abbondanza, still richly decorated and therefore one of the most

vibrant routes on the tour of the ruins. Along this street we can see many of the most beautiful houses that belonged to the

rich bourgeoisie of Pompeii, some of which have two floors.

We will have a break from exploring with a Pompeii-style snack for the kids, who will have the chance to try spelt bread and

honey and pomegranate based desserts, typical in ancient Pompeii.

Our journey through time will continue to the Suburban Baths, sumptuously decorated and located on a picturesque artificial

terrace overlooking the sea. Then we will reach the Forum, which was the political and economic hub of the city, where we will

conclude our adventure, thanking our guide and returning home with such wonderful memories.

redevelop the city.

We then cross Piazza del Plebiscito, one of the most beautiful and famous squares in Naples. With its 25,000 square metres

it is among the largest squares in Italy and so is often chosen to host major events.

Here we can admire the fabulous Royal Palace, one of the four residences used by the Royal House of Bourbon during the

Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and the Church of St. Francis of Paola, whose facade, preceded by a portico of six Ionic columns,

affords us a spectacular sight.

Arriving in Piazza Matteotti, we take a stroll up to Piazza del Gesù, from where we head to the world-famous Via Spaccanapoli

, the throbbing heart of authentic working class Naples, the lower decumanus that today divides the heart of Naples.

We come upon a succession of shops, bakeries and churches. These include the main Church of Gesù Nuovo, one of the city's

most important churches, worked on by some of the most prominent artists of the Neapolitan school, the Church of Santa

Chiara, with its magnificent majolica cloister, San Domenico Maggiore, a basilica built between 1283 and 1324 by order of

Charles of Anjou, and the Duomo di San Gennaro, with its various chapels, including the Chapel of the Treasury, which houses

the ampoules containing the coagulated blood of San Gennaro, the object of a very fervent and controversial popular cult.

Finally we walk down Via San Gregorio Armeno, a street famous worldwide for its crib craft stores.

The meeting points for pick up / drop off are subject to change according to municipal authorisations.

Marina Grande

What we will do

We leave the Port of Naples and we head for the motorway, making our way through the towns surrounding Vesuvius to

reach Sorrento, the most beautiful and famous of the towns on the eponymous peninsula and one of the jewels of the Gulf of

Naples. According to the legend, it is in these waters around Sorrento that the sirens tried to lure Ulysses with their enchanting

song.

Having reached Sorrento, we start our walking tour through the narrow streets, old decumani (east-west oriented roads) that

have now been brought to life by the many shops displaying their merchandise. We then follow a route from Piazza Tasso -

where there is a statue of Torquato Tasso the famous Italian poet from Sorrento - up to the Sedil Dominova (the seat of

power), which represents the old "seat" where the nobility met to administer the city in the 15th century. Subsequently we

admire the Cathedral and the Church of Saint Francis with its adjoining cloister and gardens from where we behold the

splendid panorama of Marina Grande, Sorrento's own fishing port.

At this point, before going back to the ship, there is some free time that can be dedicated to shopping, to tasting the famous

limoncello liqueur made with local lemons, or simply to enjoying the fascinating atmosphere of a place which, not by

coincidence, is known around the world and appreciated by tourists for its natural and artistic beauty and its traditions.

Did you know? According to popular etymology, the place name "Sorrento" derives from "Sirenide", which was possibly a

name attributed to this area in ancient times because of the legendary sirens of Homeric tradition.

This excursion involves a lot of walking, it is therefore not recommended for guests with mobility problems.

What we will do

"A place which you never finish discovering. It would appear there is always something to discover. Rich with the most bizarre

of contrasts: every which way you turn, you glimpse picturesque, ugly, abject, magnificent, delicious and pleasant things".

Charles Dickens in 1843 described Genoa as a city which remains to be discovered, rich in history, quirks and legend.

A visit to the historic centre of Genoa begins at the Ancient Port: from here, our guide will accompany us inside the network of

characteristic alleyways, the so-called "caruggi", upon the discovery of hidden locations.

We will reflect upon the antique workshops, testimony of the traditions and best food and drink.

Nearby to the House of Columbus, the final part of our walk, we will enjoy food tasting of excellent typical product, renown

worldwide: Genoese focaccia.

The transfer to Genoa takes approximately 1 hour.
