Marseille Cruise Reviews

NEVER HAPPENED ! Due to engine problems with the ship, which we were not told about until after we joined the cruise. THIS STOP WAS CANCELED. ...

Stayed on the boat ...

Our next port on the Viking Sea was Marseille, France. Because the Gran Prix was actually taking place during our visit we did the excursion that toured the coast and it was just breathtaking. Marseille is very clean with high cliffs. ...

Marseilles is the most dangerous area in France outside if the Parisian suburbs. Don't go exploring the city by yourself! Get on a bus in the cruise terminal (it's a safe area) and go outside of Marseilles. Avignon or Aix-en-Provence are beautiful and much safer. ...

went to aix in provence - beautiful! ...

This port was just so so. Quaint but not much historic stuff left here due to WWII bombing. Beaches that we passed were not very pretty. OK for a short visit bu I would not go here to stay. ...

Marseille did not have a great reputation as a tourist destination. But we proved that wrong. We sought a local company that gave us a tour of Marseilles including Notre Dame en Garde on the hill, Aix en Provence and Cassis at the entrance to the national park of the Callanches.

We paid E11 each for the shuttle bus into Marseille which is huge,but if you walk about 500 yards into the port, there's a free shuttle bus. ...

Again we took a taxi into the centre, but if you walk out from the boat along the road there is a FREE shuttle into the centre of town. Marseille has had a great clean up! It’s sparkling and lovely to just stroll, either into the town or around the extensive harbour and boardwalk with great bars you can stop in to watch the world pass by. ...
