La Vie est Belle on This Immersive France Cruise

Experience the style and allure of French culture when you spend seven days sailing along its breathtaking coast. Begin your journey in the cosmopolitan masterpiece that is Barcelona, then wake to the charming red roofs, stone structures, and stunning vineyards perched on rocky cliffs above Port-Vendres.

On a late stay in Marseille, visit the Vieux Port, a lively fishing harbor, and the North African souks and shops in the Capucin district. Sanary-sur-Mer is arguably one of the sunniest places in France, so troll along the palm-lined harbor and soak it all in.

Then, it’s on to an overnight in chic Nice. An epicure's dream destination, hop between bistros, sampling some of the best cuisines on Earth. After a stop on Corsica, your journey concludes in endlessly glamorous Monte Carlo. 

Cruise Highlights

In Barcelona, start at the waterfront and stroll up the shady, tree-lined Las Ramblas boulevard and discover some of the city's best shopping and bustling cafes.

Enjoy a meal of fresh seafood like sea perch, tuna, or sardines paired with the region’s renowned Collioure wines, followed by a Banyuls dessert wine in Port-Vendres.

2,600 years of history come to life in Marseille at the Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée, filled to the brim with insight on the culture of the region.

In Nice, head to the picturesque Place Rosetti to visit the cathédrale Saine-Réparate and the world-famous Fennochios’s ice cream and sorbet shop.

Sanary sur Mer’s pedestrian streets cluster around the medieval watchtower—now home to the Frédéric Dumas Diving Museum, featuring equipment of undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau.

On Corsica, Napoleon’s presence is visible throughout the city in everything from his childhood home, the Maison Bonaparte, to museums like Salon Napoléonien.
