Marseille, France Cruise Port

Marseille is the second most populous city in France and considered the oldest. Marseille has lots to offer cruisers, including excavations that have found dwellings dating back to 6,000 BC. The city was founded by Greeks in 600 BC as a trading port, and even today Marseilles remains an important trading (and cruising!) port. This ancient city is thoroughly modern with tall buildings and a boom of technology businesses. On your cruise to Marseille, make sure to experience both the ancient and modern in this French marvel.
