Shore Excursions from Cannes

Shore Excursions from Cannes, Cannes Tours

What to expect when docking in Cannes ?

There is no harbor for cruise ships in Cannes. That is why your cruise ship will anchor in the bay of Cannes and send tenders ashore.

Reading this article you will understand better where you arrive and what are the best shore excursions from Cannes.

Where will you land ashore in Cannes ?

Your tender will arrive at the Quai Laubeuf. By the Quai Laubeuf is a big parking area where all cars, minivans and buses can access. All the cruise ship tours and private tours are meeting at Quai Laubeuf.

What is the distance from the center ?

From Quai Laubeuf you will be quite close to the center of Cannes.

One corner of the parking leads to the beaches and the other is the entrance of the old port. Walking along the old port the historical center, called Le Suquet, will be on your left. You can reach it within 5 to 10 minutes.

If you walk straight all along the port you will arrive by the city hall. Following the port on your right the next building is the Casino and the Film Festival Palace.

Behind the Festival Palace starts the famous Croisette seaside avenue with its luxurious hotels and private sandy beaches.

Shore excursions from Cannes: what are your options ?

Apart from being so famous thanks to its film festival, the geographical position of Cannes makes it the corner stone between Provence and French Riviera.

Cannes offers beautiful options for shore excursions from the peaceful and authentic countryside of Provence to the shining and glittering cities of the French Riviera
