Welcome to Rome, the Eternal City!

The Golden Phoenix docks at Ostia on the evening of 31 October with a procession to Roma, just in time for Hallowe'en in Hades. Dine in style with a special menu prepared in the Triclinium of the Gods in preparation for the costume ball from hell!

Friday take a walking tour of the city with your knowledgeable tour guide, or sit in a local caupona and relax with some brain teasers. Place your bets at the Circus Maximus, or take in a play by Plautus at the Theatre of Marcellus, then throw those rose petals as the Triumphal parade passes by!

Saturday, be prepared for the final Gold Launch festivities with the rededication of the Temple of Jupiter!
