Marseille Cruise Reviews

Our tour guide took us to a not very nice area, it is very industrial too. The main place to visit is the old port but this is not within walking distance of the port. ...

This review is for the optional excursion to the village of Cassis, which we adored. Charming seaside town nestled into cliffs along the Mediterranean, from which we took a boat ride to explore inlets and coves. We even saw sunbathers tanning every part of themselves (not too close up!). The town is the stuff of paintings and murals; we took lots of pictures of the bright boats reflecting off ...

Best port to sail into but disappointing in port ...

At last - character in the old town lovely harbour area ...

Things were disorganised when disembarking. We were given incorrect directions to find the little tourist train. If you wanted to take the hop on hop off bus, you had to walk and find where the tickets were sold and go back to the bus. It was a very hot day so we just walked into the old port and had a coffee! ...

Marseilles was OK, VV provided shuttles. Best bet is to visit Aix, 40 mins away. ...

The ship docked quite a way out and it was 30 mins on a coach - and then 30 mins walk. The port area and cathedral are worth the effort to see, ...

Wasn't really in the mood to explore Marseille, but had to chaperone teenage son to the shops, so can't really comment. It's a long way from cruise terminal to city waterfront, and route goes though industrial port areas and along dual carriageways, so you cannot really avoid a rip off shuttle bus fare if you want to visit the place. ...

Beautiful but not much to do. Inner city VERY far away from port ...

Nice but not enough time to visit longer. City offered free shuttle. ...
