ROMA SUL MARE - ROME BY SEA
SPACES AVAILABLE
March 7 through 13, 2027
Join Ancient Rome Live and archaeologist Darius Arya to discover how water shaped Rome’s maritime empire on this immersive six-day tour. Following ancient supply and ritual routes, you will journey from the Tiber’s city quays to the vital imperial ports of Ostia and Portus. The itinerary ventures north in Lazio to Etruscan sanctuaries and then south to Nero’s palace at Anzio, historic WWII landing beaches, and a remarkably well preserved Roman tomb. The journey concludes at the once-sacred crater lake of Nemi, where history transitions into myth.
Throughout, expert-led archaeology meets the best of living Italy, offering rare site access alongside the incredible food and landscapes of Lazio and Rome’s historic coastline, waterways and lakes.

POMPEII, NAPLES & MORE
SOLD OUT
Sunday November 8 – Saturday November 14, 2026
A six-day immersive journey through Naples, Pompeii, and the dramatic landscape around Mount Vesuvius, uncovering layers of history across ancient cities, buried worlds, and seaside Roman villas. We step beyond the surface of the past with rare access: behind-the-scenes visits at museums like National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) and archaeological digs, descents into underground tombs, and in-depth exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum. At the heart of the experience will be antiquity in conversation with contemporary Naples—expert insight on site, encounters with the city’s living culture, and time devoted to its extraordinary culinary traditions.
Past Travel Courses
Each year presents the opportunity to pursue new itineraries or to revisit sites that continue to yield insight and fascination. At Ancient Rome Live, we embrace both approaches: introducing new tours and returning to favorite locations. Take a look at our past adventures. Should a particular destination resonate with your interests, please contact us. With a minimum of six participants, we are able to relaunch previous tours by request. All tours are curated and led by archaeologist Darius Arya.
