Step ashore and meet your English-speaking guide for a scenic drive to Marseille’s crown jewel: La Major Cathedral. This Romanesque-Byzantine masterpiece, with its green-and-white striped stone, stands proudly by the seafront. Explore its grand interiors before continuing on foot into the city’s historic heart.
Next, discover Le Panier – Marseille’s oldest and most colourful district. Wander through its cobblestone lanes, vibrant façades, and lively squares as your guide shares stories of this bohemian quarter. Snap photos of street art, artisan shops, and cosy cafés that give Le Panier its unique charm.
Our walk ends at the iconic Vieux Port, the bustling hub of Marseille. Enjoy some free time to soak up the harbour views, relax under the mirrored Ombrière canopy, or grab a coffee as boats and yachts glide by.
Finally, rejoin your coach near the Old Port for a comfortable ride back to the ship, leaving with unforgettable memories of this vibrant Mediterranean city.
