Marseille, France – A Mediterranean Gem

France’s oldest (and second-largest) city, Marseille has been a vibrant port for over 2,600 years, blending cultures from Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean. 
The Old Port (Vieux‑Port) is the heart of the city—lined with boats, cafés, and fresh seafood markets. 
The iconic Notre‑Dame de la Garde offers breathtaking views over the city and sparkling coastline. 
And yes… you’re in the heart of Provence, one of the world’s most famous regions for rosé wine, perfect for sipping seaside in the sunshine or enjoying onboard poolside .

***Fun Facts about Marseille:
It was founded by the Greeks around 600 BC, making it the oldest city in France. 
It’s one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean and has been a major trading hub for centuries. 
Marseille is the birthplace of bouillabaisse, a famous seafood dish. 
Just offshore sits the Château d’If, made famous in The Count of Monte Cristo. 

It’s not just a port stop… it’s a destination full of colour, flavour, and unforgettable Mediterranean charm.

Ever watched a cruise ship leave port? Here’s what’s really happening…
It’s a carefully coordinated process:
A local pilot comes onboard to guide the ship safely out — they know the port’s channels, tides, and hidden challenges.
Tugboats step in as the muscle, helping push and pull the massive ship since it can’t easily steer in tight spaces.
Together, they carefully move the ship away from the dock and guide it into open water.
Once clear, the tugboats disconnect, the pilot heads off… and your Captain takes over for the journey ahead!
It’s all about safety, precision, and teamwork behind the scenes.
