You’ll travel back in time to the days of gladiators and pirates on this full day trip. First, you can take in the grandeur of the Roman Empire with a visit to the world’s third largest amphitheatre, in El Djem. Modelled on its famous Italian counterpart – the Colosseum in Rome – it’s here that Russell Crowe’s Maximus famously fought to his death in Oscar-winning film, Gladiator. You can wander the well-preserved ruins, once packed with eager spectators for gladiator shows and chariot races. After a morning spent under Roman rule, you’ll set sail for a swashbuckling afternoon at sea. As you cruise along the coast, keep an eye out for dolphins. Plus, you can dive into the warm waters for a swim. Later, you’ll tuck into a barbecued lunch, before watching a belly dancing and acrobatic show on deck.
