Marseille Cruise Reviews

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 wandered to overlooks and viewed the Crest Road where the cliffs are 1200 feet above the crashing sea. WE ate ...

We went to Avignon and enjoyed our tour; however, the 1.5 hour drive each way cut into the time we were able to spend here. ...

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 ...

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 ...
