Toulon nestles between mountain and sea in what is considered the most beautiful, widest and best sheltered bay in Europe, protecting the port from prevailing winds and offering accessibility in all weather conditions, making Toulon the most reliable alternative in the French Med.
The port is very secure thanks to the presence of the French Navy and offers excellent facilities able to accommodate the world’s largest ships:
Chill-Out Heaven in the Med, within minutes of stepping ashore, the guests can relax in beautiful natural scenery and enjoy the white sandy beaches of Toulon Bay for a hassle-free day of ‘me’ time away from the crowd. At the same time, its strategic position as the ideal gateway to both Provence & French Riviera offers a wide range of shore excursions: in brand name places such as St-Tropez, Aix-en-Provence or in some off-thebeaten track places including other must-see excursions such as Sanary, Le Castellet, Bormes-les-Mimosas, etc. With 80% of the cruise guests welcomed in VAR PROVENCE, Toulon is the leading port of the network.
