Toulon Côte d'Azur Cruise Port nestles in Europe's finest and most sheltered natural harbor, accessible in all weather conditions. The City's Medieval quarter, Provençal market, boutiques, mall, cafés & restaurants are just 5 minutes from the cruise port by a walkway. The port has high quality infrastructures and facilities that make it ideal for megaship transit calls. As the City has direct links with the European road/rail networks and is close to the Toulon Hyères airport, catering particularly well for charter flights, Toulon is a good choice for turnaround or charter operations. In this medium-sized port, at the gateway to Provence and French Riviera, congestion is not a problem : each ship is treated personally and all specific demands are catered for. The presence of the French Navy in the bay makes for added security.

High-Level Security
Bay access is strictly regulated thanks to the presence of the French Navy submarine and aircraft carrier base located across from the Cruise Port, meaning cruise ships entering the bay benefit from top-level security and safety.
The Port itself is located inside a safety perimeter and both passenger terminals are equipped with state-of-the-art baggage and passenger detection systems.


Port de Toulon
Toulon Côte d'Azur benefits from excellent infrastructures :
3 berths in the city center able to accommodate 3 or 4 ships at the same time - even for the world's largest.

In case of emergency, a 300 m. long (-9.5m.) fourth berth -Marépolis pier -, located across the bay is accessible in all weather conditions.

LA SEYNE - MAREPOLIS BERTH
Located across the Bay (City of La Seyne), this additional berth remains accessible in extreme weather conditions (strong prevailing winds) and in case of heavy traffic.
Passengers arriving at La Seyne-Marépolis are transferred to the Cruise Port terminals by boat shuttle; the 10-minute crossing offers exceptional views over the city's ancient military forts and modern naval vessels.
