Details

Embark on a motorcoach journey for approximately 90 minutes to Rome. Upon arrival, kick off your day with a photo stop at the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, the second-largest papal basilica in Rome. Continue to St. John in Lateran Basilica, the Cathedral of Rome and one of the four major basilicas. Founded in the fourth century, it played a pivotal role in papal enthronements until 1870.

Explore the basilica and its holy staircase. Next, head to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, known for the miraculous appearance of the Virgin Mary in a dream to an aristocrat and Pope Liberius. The basilica houses the important Marian icon, the Salus Populi Romani, and the relic of the Holy Crib, where Baby Jesus was laid. End your tour with a refreshing ice cream and some free time for independent lunch and exploration at Saint Peter's Square before returning to the ship.
