While your cruise ship is docked in Villefranche-sur-Mer, a private shore excursion gives you the chance to explore the picture-postcard city of Nice. You can choose either a morning or an afternoon tour, and with your transport taken care of, you'll sit back and enjoy the scenic drive along the Mediterranean coast to the city.

As you move through Nice, you'll enjoy a surprising immersion into its past and present. See traces of the Greek city and Roman remains, take in the sweep of the Promenade des Anglais and the waterfront activity at Lympia harbour, and wander through the narrow streets of Old Nice. The Russian cathedral is included among the city’s highlights, and along the way you may hear the anecdotes and legends that bring these places to life. You will also get to know the heroes and characters who shaped Nice’s history and culture, from Jellinek Mercedes and Giuseppe Garibaldi to Queen Victoria.
