Overview
Experience the best of Marseille and its authentic coastal atmosphere during this private shore excursion designed for cruise passengers.
Upon disembarkation at Marseille Cruise Terminal, your professional English-speaking driver will welcome you directly at the terminal.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive up to Marseille’s highest point: the iconic Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica for a short photo stop, offering breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the city and Mediterranean coastline.
Next, head down to the Old Port to explore at your own pace, the historic center. Why not enjoy an optional lunch break at Les Grandes Halles du Vieux-Port, a famous local food court or explore the charming streets of the historic Le Panier quarter using an interactive GPS guide app with an included eSIM data pass.
Before returning to your ship, enjoy a stop at the picturesque village of L'Estaque. Known as the birthplace of modern painters like Cézanne, it is the perfect place to stroll along the harbor and taste famous artisanal local street food delicacies (Optional)
Your return journey brings you safely back to your cruise terminal.
