Cruise excursion in Marseille

The essence of Marseille, in a single stopover

Every year, hundreds of thousands of cruise passengers disembark at the port of Marseille, at La Joliette. With only a few hours ahead of you, every minute counts — and that is exactly where the electric tuk-tuk makes the difference. Faster and more flexible than a coach, it takes you straight to the heart of the city, with no waiting and no parking hassle.

In an hour or ninety minutes, we show you the must-sees: the Old Port and its fishermen, the alleys of Le Panier, the MuCEM and La Major Cathedral, the majestic Notre-Dame de la Garde watching over the city, and the panoramas of the Corniche. If your stopover runs longer, our article on Marseille in one day sets out the full itinerary. Our driver-guides know re-boarding times inside out and adjust the route so you are back on time, with peace of mind.

Just steps from the terminal, the Docks district and the Terrasses du Port shopping centre easily round out your stopover. Guided in French or English, the ride is personalised to your wishes: Marseille’s history, photo stops, local specialities… Ideal for couples, families or small groups of cruise passengers who want to make the most of their Marseille shore excursion.

Because our fleet is 100% electric, your visit stays silent and respectful of the city and its residents. Unlike often-crowded coach excursions, our small groups enjoy personalised attention and direct contact with a real Marseille guide, happy to share their favourite spots and stories. Book your cruise excursion ahead at +33 6 25 07 76 73 or on WhatsApp: we’ll be waiting as soon as you step off the ship, ready to make your stopover unforgettable.
