Private
Private Hyères, Le Lavandou & Saint-Tropez
Riviera resort towns east of Toulon — glamour, sea light and private pacing.
Cruise suitability: Only with a long, unhurried port call
Spend the day on the French Riviera exploring Hyères, Le Lavandou and Saint-Tropez — seaside resort towns that each offer their own taste of the Côte d’Azur.
This is the Riviera postcard many guests imagine — and it needs a long, unhurried call. Traffic toward Saint-Tropez can be real in peak season.
Choose this for resort glamour; choose Cassis or Bandol for a more authentic Provençal coastal mood.
Independent Toulon remains the better plan when hours are limited.

Return to ship guarantee
Return to ship guarantee: itineraries are planned around your Toulon cruise call so you are back at the terminal with time before all-aboard. If an operational delay on our side causes you to miss the ship, we work with the local provider under the published return-to-ship assurance for that booking.
Getting there from the cruise port
Cruise ships berth at Toulon’s passenger terminals on the Mediterranean waterfront. The historic harbour and Old Town are typically a short walk or brief shuttle from the exit — often around 10–20 minutes depending on berth, pace and route. Follow terminal signage toward the centre rather than wandering the working port. For Cassis, Bandol, Luberon or Marseille days, confirm meeting instructions and plan from your ship’s all-aboard time, not merely the published departure. Aim to be back at the terminal 60–90 minutes early; longer Provence days need the larger end of that buffer.
Tips for cruise passengers
- Peak-season traffic toward Saint-Tropez requires honest buffers
