Make your Provence cruise stop part of your wider travel experience with a shore excursion suited to your arrival port and time ashore. Discuss the destinations and activities that interest you most so an appropriate route can be assessed.
A cruise excursion requires different planning from a day trip during a hotel stay. Your ship’s schedule, docking location, and return arrangements are essential to choosing a suitable program.
Share your priorities, whether you would like to focus on cultural heritage, villages, scenery, or regional experiences. The destinations that can be included depend on your port and the time available.
Rather than attempting to visit every major highlight, choose a realistic selection of stops that allows time to appreciate the places you visit.
Provide your ship name, cruise date, arrival port, and scheduled arrival and departure times when making an enquiry. These details help determine the touring time available and the practical requirements of the route.
The program must account for pickup arrangements, travel between destinations, visits, and the return journey. Not every Provence destination is suitable for every cruise stop.
Let our team know your group size and any mobility, accessibility, or other practical requirements. These details should be considered before an excursion is confirmed.
Review the proposed itinerary, included services, meeting arrangements, and return timing carefully before booking.
Contact our team with your cruise details and preferred experiences to discuss the options available for your stop in Provence.
Inclusions vary by experience. Check the individual tour page for transport, guiding, admission fees, wine tastings, meals, and pickup arrangements. Some itineraries may provide independent time for lunch rather than an included meal, so review the details before booking.
Contact our team to assess the combination you have in mind. Feasibility depends on your departure location, the distances involved, seasonal lavender availability, and winery appointments. A focused itinerary with fewer stops can allow more time to enjoy each experience.
Contact our team to discuss a private itinerary focused on your interests, whether you prefer villages, lavender landscapes, wine, history, or art. Share your travel dates, starting location, group size, and preferred destinations. The final route depends on travel time, seasonal conditions, and visit availability.
Yes. Our Arles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Les Baux cultural tour brings these destinations together in one published itinerary. Consult the product page for the departure location, visiting program, guiding arrangements, and any admission fees included.
Yes. Our Provence wine experiences include vineyard visits and guided tastings, with a half-day wine tour among the options. Review the selected itinerary for the wine area visited and tasting arrangements. If Bandol or Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a priority, contact our team to discuss a suitable experience.
Our village-focused experiences include destinations such as Gordes and Roussillon in the Luberon. Les Baux-de-Provence also features in our cultural itinerary with Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Check each tour for its specific stops, or discuss your preferred villages when enquiring about a private experience.
Yes. Our Valensole lavender fields tour offers a seasonal experience focused on these landscapes. Check the published departure dates before planning your trip. Flowering conditions vary, so lavender in bloom should not be assumed outside the available touring season or guaranteed for a particular date.
Yes. Choose a scheduled small-group tour with a published itinerary or a private experience dedicated to your travel party. Private tours allow you to discuss your interests before the route is confirmed. Available formats depend on the destination, experience, and travel date.
Departure locations vary by tour. Browse the experiences available for your stay in Aix-en-Provence or Marseille, then check the individual product page for the exact meeting point or pickup arrangements. Not every itinerary departs from both cities.

Options include Valensole lavender tours, Luberon village visits, vineyard tastings, and cultural itineraries featuring Arles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and Les Baux-de-Provence.
