Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Experience a culinary journey along the coastline of Italy's Campania region and sample the bounty produced from the fertile volcanic soil of Mt. Vesuvius. The next leg of your journey continues at an authentic Limoncello Factory, situated in an unique location that offers a guided walk through the stages of the traditional lemon liqueur production, such as the lemon peeling, the lemon infusing and the final bottling. This unique location also offers also a great variety of Sorrentine specialities, such as pasta, tomato sauce, olive oil, biscuits, candies or traditional ceramics and home-made sandals. Your local tour will end with learning the art of mozzarella-making and samples of the fresh white cheese with salami, wine and mineral water.
Afterwards, you'll head into the town of Sorrento. You'll have two hours of leisure time for shopping and lunch on your own in Sorrento. Your journey continues in Pompeii on a tour of the lost city. Explore excavations that were once buried beneath the ashes when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. Finally, you'll stop at a cameo factory where artisans carve seashells or coral into intricate pieces of jewelry. Your tour comes to an end back in Naples, where your ship awaits your return.
