Free entry
The cruise port of Marseille, located in the heart of the Mediterranean, has become a major player in the sector, positioning itself as the leading cruise port in France and the fourth in the Mediterranean. In 2023, it welcomed more than 4 million passengers, demonstrating its continued growth.
Marseille benefits from a proactive policy to attract cruise passengers, with modern infrastructure and services adapted to the needs of companies and passengers. The port is a preferred departure point for cruises to various destinations, including Spain, Italy, and the Greek islands.
However, despite its growing popularity, Marseille is often perceived as a gateway to Provence rather than a tourist destination in its own right. The excursions offered highlight the region's attractions, but the city struggles to stand out as a major destination, like Barcelona or Venice.

The Calanques National Park, located between Marseille and Cassis, covers approximately 20 km and was created on 18 April 2012. It is the first peri-urban national park in Europe, encompassing 8,500 hectares of land and 43,500 hectares of sea, with a rich biodiversity including approximately 1,000 plant species and 200 protected species.
The calanques, typical geological formations, are characterised by limestone cliffs and coves with turquoise waters. They are home to a variety of marine flora and fauna, essential for the ecosystem.
However, the park attracts between 2 and 3 million visitors each year, which poses challenges for managing attendance and preserving this fragile environment. Measures are in place to limit the impact of tourism and protect the biodiversity of this listed site, one of the most visited in France.
