Unveil the allure of Cassis and the Calanques on a private shore excursion from Marseille Cruise Port. This full-day experience blends dramatic coastal scenery, a charming Mediterranean village, and a Provence wine tasting, all with seamless pickup and drop-off at your ship.
Pick up at your cruise ship in Marseille
As your cruise ship docks in Marseille, your English-speaking driver/guide will be waiting for you at the cruise terminal. After a warm welcome and a quick overview of the day, settle into your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy the drive toward the seaside village of Cassis.
The highlight of your day is a panoramic boat ride into the Calanques National Park. Board your boat in Cassis and cruise along a coastline of white limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and hidden coves. For about an hour, admire a succession of spectacular inlets and rocky fjord-like formations as your captain navigates between towering cliffs and sheltered bays.
Free time and lunch in Cassis
After returning to the harbor, enjoy free time for lunch (at own expense) at one of Cassis’s inviting restaurants. Savor fresh seafood, Provençal dishes, or a light meal on a terrace overlooking the water, and take a moment to linger in this postcard-perfect setting.
As the day comes to an end, relax on the journey back to Marseille. Your driver/guide will return you to your cruise ship in time for boarding, with lasting memories of Cassis, the Calanques, and the flavors of Provence.

Know before you book
Enjoying wine is a wonderful part of discovering France’s culture and heritage. We encourage guests to savor each tasting responsibly and at their own pace. Please remember that wine contains alcohol, and moderation helps you fully appreciate the flavors, keep a clear head throughout the tour, and make the most of your experience.
If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card.
