Cruises from the Port of Marseille
Marseille remains France’s main port of embarkation for Mediterranean cruises, and it is from here that MSC and Costa cruise ships regularly set sail. The city’s port infrastructure is designed to handle large passenger volumes, so even during peak periods, boarding the cruise ship proceeds in an organized manner and without undue haste. The city combines its maritime heritage with a modern waterfront, so some travelers deliberately arrive a day early to explore Marseille before their cruise begins. In addition, the port serves as a departure point for routes through both the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, so the selection of destinations from Marseille is quite extensive.
Ukrainians most often fly to Marseille via airports in countries neighboring Ukraine with a connecting flight, while European residents can take a direct flight to the French coast. Before your trip, be sure to check whether your route requires a layover and allow enough time between your flight’s arrival and the ship’s departure. Since two major shipping companies operate regular departures from Marseille, you should check departure dates specifically for your chosen route, not just for the port itself.

DetailsFrequently asked questions
Which cruise lines depart from the port of Marseille?
Marseille is a regular port of call for MSC Cruises and Costa Cruises, so it’s best to check the itineraries and departure dates in the schedules of these two companies.
Is it easy to get to Marseille from Ukraine?
There are no direct flights from Ukraine, so the trip requires at least one layover at an airport in a neighboring country. This doesn't make the trip significantly more complicated; you just need to allow more time for it than you would for a direct flight.
Is the port in Marseille large?
Indeed, the port is designed to handle a significant volume of passengers and regularly accommodates several large cruise ships at the same time, so boarding usually proceeds in an orderly manner even on busy days.
