Welcome! It's going to be a great trip!

One other place I am thinking of when pre-nighting in Rome: Ostia Antica. Mainly as we will not have time to go to Pompeii when in Naples.
How long are we in Naples? The Pompeii tour is 4hrs. There's also a Herculaneum tour at 3.5hrs.
For some reason I thought the Pompeii tour was 6-7 hours. We are in Naples from 1200-1800. If the tour is 4 hours is that enough or just a small taste? Will have to do some research. I also booked 3 nights in Rome.

I also booked 3 nights in Rome, so will have some time to kill Very excited to go. Trying to convince my travel buddy to come with...
The Pompeii (by itself) tour is 4hrs. For comparison, the shortest tour option is 3.5 hrs, and there are only 2 of those (Naples city tour and Herculaneum). It's a total guess, but I predict Viking will offer a Pompeii tour.
If Pompeii is offered, 2.5-3 hrs is plenty of time unless you're seriously into Roman ruins. We went there years ago. It's pretty cool. I'm not sure what we'll do this round.

Well said. I think travel is why I workHang out a bit and you get absorbed into the group.
We all started as strangers. We just have the same travel addiction.
Since Nancy and I are coming in only one day early also, the after hours tour and food tour could work for us. Please keep us in mind. Right now we are both working and taking care of her mother and sister here in Florida, so I only check this forum about once a week or so. TIA, can't wait to meet everyone and experience this trip. We will be at the DIS party, so maybe we can get together and discuss trip plans.Dustin & I would be interested in both the food tour and the nighttime Vatican tour depending on price and timing.
As an aside, River Cruise Muster's are always comical at best. On our cruise on the Seine (Uniworld), I was being FORCED to have a Kir Royale while we were given safety instructions. Forced I say.
Been a while since I checked into this forum (Joe and Tricia from FL), but just want to welcome everyone new that have signed up for this trip. Still contemplating what tours we want to do outside of the cruise, but we are leaning towards the 3 night Tuscan/Forence wine country trip. I wonder when we can book the pre or post trips through Viking? We'd like to see and tour Rome, but not sure the timing or logistics will line up for that this time around.
