Marseille Cruise Reviews

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. ...

Windy, but Easy to travel by foot. Make sure you take the FREE SHUTTLE by following the green line painted on road once you leave the port. ...

Don’t bother with hop on bus like we did. If you want to visit the Notre Dame Basilique, take the land tourist train. Much cheaper ...

Didn't go ashore as the weather was foul ...

Marseille was switched to Toulon on our cruise due to the interprofessional strike in France which we already knew about from train travelling there prior to the cruise. Toulon was great: kids enjoyed seeing the French naval vessels and MSC provided free shuttle buses and boats into town and we just explored by foot. ...

Not much to see near port. Free city shuttle. ...

unable to access all parts of city i.e. church. Too much walking ...

I had originally planned to visit Aix-en-Provence by train when in Marseille, but a French railway strike meant that this was not possible. Instead I visited the Church of Notre Dame de la Guard which dominates the Marseille skyline and I was not disappointed. I walked for about 10 minutes to the entrance to the cruise port (following the green line) where a free shuttle bus took me to a stop near ...

Cold this time -stayed on board ...
