Such a fitting partnership 👏
Worth flagging for anyone planning Naples in 2027: hotels around the race dates will tighten fast, so the pre and post cruise nights are the thing to lock in early. The upside for families is Pompeii and Herculaneum an easy drive from the pier, and after eight years teaching the ancient world, that's the shore day I'd never skip.
