Program & Itinerary
Cassis: A Classic Mediterranean Escape
Leave the bustle of Marseille behind and spend the day in Cassis, a picture‑perfect fishing village framed by pastel houses, café terraces and a pretty harbor filled with boats. This private shore excursion is all about sea views, relaxed exploring and soaking up that easygoing Provençal atmosphere.
Calanques Boat Ride
From the port of Cassis, step aboard a Calanques boat tour and glide along turquoise waters beneath soaring white cliffs. As you slip into the famous rocky inlets, you’ll see hidden coves, tiny beaches and dramatic headlands that are only accessible from the sea—an unforgettable highlight of any visit to southern France.
Harbor Stroll and Seafood Lunch
Back on shore, wander the harborfront and old streets, with time to browse boutiques, enjoy an ice cream or simply sit by the water. Cassis is renowned for its seafood restaurants, so this is the perfect place to linger over lunch: think grilled fish, mussels or a simple plat du jour on a sunny terrace, with a glass of local white or rosé if you wish.
Views from Cap Canaille or Time on the Beach
Depending on the day and your preferences, your driver can take you up towards Cap Canaille, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs, for breathtaking panoramas over the village, coastline and Calanques. Alternatively, you might choose extra free time on Cassis’ beaches, where clear, sheltered waters invite you to paddle, swim or just relax on the pebbles.
A Relaxed Day from Your Ship
With private pick‑up and drop‑off at the Marseille Cruise Terminal, comfortable transport and a flexible pace, this excursion is perfect for guests who want a laid‑back yet memorable day by the sea—combining natural beauty, great food and authentic village life in one easy trip.
