Accessible Cruise Excursion to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Archaeological Museum

Naples visitors fascinated by the Mt. Vesuvius eruption will love this wheelchair accessible Pompeii cruise excursion from Naples.

In addition to visiting the accessible portion of Pompeii and the accessible ruins at Herculaneum, you’ll also get to see the numerous artifacts that were excavated from the eruption and are housed in the Archaeological Museum.

Important notes:
