Touring from Cannes
Cannes is a tender port on the French Riviera — your ship anchors in the Bay of Cannes and tender boats bring you ashore to the Old Port, steps from the famous Croisette promenade and the Palais des Festivals. From here, the entire Côte d'Azur opens up. A private driver-guide can have you in Monaco and Monte Carlo in under an hour, winding through the hilltop village of Èze along the Grande Corniche with views that drop straight to the sea. Nice is about 40 minutes east, with its Vieille Ville, the Cours Saleya flower market, and the Promenade des Anglais. Closer to Cannes, the medieval perfume town of Grasse, the walled artists' village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, and the port town of Antibes are all within a short drive.
For guests who prefer to stay in Cannes itself, the old quarter of Le Suquet climbs the hill above the harbour with narrow lanes, the Château de la Castre, and panoramic views across the bay. The Croisette offers designer shopping, cafés, and sandy beaches. Your driver-guide provides commentary throughout the day and tailors the itinerary to your interests and your ship's schedule.
