The wilder, western end of the French coast, where Marseille’s ancient energy gives way to the white limestone drama of the Calanques and the golden islands of Hyeres. This seven-day route trades Riviera glamour for something rawer and more elemental, sea cliffs, hidden inlets and protected marine parks. Expect a great port city and a Dumas fortress, fjord-like calanques and vineyard coasts, some of the most spectacular and least-crowded cruising in the Mediterranean.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
