The Rhône is one of Europe's great rivers. And there are many ways to experience its grandeur, from ten day cruises to ten minute boat ferries. This is our guide to river tourism in Provence.
Toulon has two cruise ship ports: one in the heart of the city and one in the nearby town of La Seyne sur Mer across the other side of the bay. This is a guide to both of them.
Marseille is France's main cruise ship port and cruising has been a cornerstone of tourism in the region. However much has changed over the last couple of years and the industry has had to adapt in dramatic ways to the "new normal".
Marseille is a superb starting point for a cruise holiday. It’s easily reached by air, road or high-speed rail. It's a fast springboard to some of Provence's loveliest spots. And there are many terrific attractions in Marseille itself.
Marseille's identity is deeply bound up with its ancient origins as a port and the vast network of sea routes that opened up the city to the world. This is a guide to its ferry terminals and the services from them today. |
