Marseille
Marseille, France — what to do while your ship is in port.
The Old Port (Vieux-Port) is lined with cafes and a daily fish market, overlooked by the hilltop Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica. Guests often use Marseille as a gateway to Aix-en-Provence or the dramatic limestone Calanques inlets just outside the city, reachable by boat tour. The Mucem museum and the redeveloped Panier district are popular for those staying closer to the port.
