Private
Private Bandol Country
Bandol vineyards, coastal scenery and Provençal village stops — privately paced.
Cruise suitability: Best on a full, unhurried port call
A private day through Bandol country blends coastal scenery, historic village character and the internationally celebrated Bandol wine region — shaped around your party rather than a fixed group timetable.
Private pacing suits families, friends travelling together and guests who want cellar or viewpoint time without coach-group constraints.
Cassis and Bandol sit within a rewarding radius of Toulon when your hours ashore are generous.
If you prefer a curated small-group coastal day, compare Discover Cassis, Calanques & Provence Wine Tasting.

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
