The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Soar above Toulon's grand naval harbour by cable car to the 584m summit of Mont Faron — a sensational Provençal panorama, rare big cats at the zoo, and a moving WWII liberation museum, all in one dramatic morning.
Slip into turquoise fjord-like inlets that can only be reached by sea — crystal-clear, UNESCO-protected waters framed by white limestone cliffs plunging 400 metres into the Mediterranean. A private charter is the only way to linger here without the crowds.
The world's most glamorous fishing village, up close and personal — luminous harbour, ochre lanes, the Musée de l'Annonciade Impressionist collection, and the legendary Place des Lices market, all explored privately at a discerning pace.
Europe's most spectacular canyon — 700-metre limestone walls, a river of impossible emerald green, and hairpin corniche roads above the void. A private guided day here is a once-in-a-lifetime Provençal landscape experience that most Mediterranean cruisers never even attempt.
Perched on a rocky hilltop above the vines, Le Castellet is one of Provence's most perfectly preserved medieval villages — stone ramparts, a Romanesque chapel, and sweeping views to the sea — paired with a private tasting at a celebrated Bandol domaine.
Delve into the sun-drenched soul of Toulon — a private walking tour through the authentic Basse-Ville, the Cours Lafayette provençal market, the naval cathedral, and a curated sequence of artisan food tastings that reveal this proudly local city at its most delicious.
