NAP:
Scavi di Pompei Special Night Opening

On March 18, 2023, the ancient city of Pompeii opened its gates after sunset for the Scavi di Pompei Special Night Opening, offering visitors a rare and mesmerizing journey through history under the soft glow of lanterns and moonlight. Organized as part of Napoli’s expanding cultural calendar, this exclusive event allowed guests to walk the cobblestone streets of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in an atmosphere of quiet reverence, where the echoes of the past felt closer than ever. The illuminated ruins, dramatic lighting, and guided storytelling transformed the archaeological park into a living theater of Roman life frozen in time.

Just a short transfer from Napoli, the site drew history enthusiasts, archaeologists, and curious travelers from around the world. For many international attendees, particularly those from North America and Asia, reaching this unforgettable experience began with a long-haul flight to southern Italy. With limited evening schedules and tight connections, travelers found that business flights offered the flexibility and comfort needed to make the most of their journey. Arriving well-rested after a transatlantic trip made the late-night visit all the more immersive and enjoyable.

A growing number of visitors chose to travel in business class, where lie-flat seats and personalized service helped ease the fatigue of long-distance travel. A business class ticket not only provided physical comfort but also allowed professionals, academics, and culture-focused tour groups to arrive prepared for a full day of exploration and an evening of wonder. Some guests even opted for first class flights, treating the entire trip as a premium cultural pilgrimage, complete with gourmet meals and dedicated travel support.

The event also highlighted the increasing appeal of experiential tourism—travelers no longer want just to see a site, but to feel it. The nighttime access to Pompeii, with its haunting beauty and historical depth, exemplified this shift. Airlines serving the NAP route have taken note, enhancing their premium offerings to cater to discerning travelers seeking unique, once-in-a-lifetime moments.

As visitors stood beneath the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, listening to stories of 79 AD, it was clear that this was not just a tour, but a profound connection to humanity’s shared past.

Travelers from the USA are invited to fly to Napoli for the next Scavi di Pompei Special Night Opening in business class and book their business class ticket with PrestigeFly travel agency, where history, comfort, and exceptional service converge.
