Sigyn Posted May 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Is it time consuming and/or complicated to get from the port of Marseilles to the train station? I was thinking about doing a DIY tour and taking the train to Aix-en-Provence for a leisurely day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted May 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2016 You have a few options. Your cruise ship will probably offer a shuttle bus (pricing varies from cruise line to cruise line but should not be too bad) which would likely drop you at the old port (near the water). From there you can walk to the station in about 15 min or take a local bus. Another option to simply take a taxi from the port directly to the train station (assuming you can find a taxi willing to do this short haul). If using a taxi it is usually best to share it with another couple. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc_rider Posted September 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Take the free port shuttle to terminal 1. Then walk two blocks to the Joilette station and take the Metro two stops to the train station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyny Posted September 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2016 My sister and I were on Royal Princess last week and at the last minute decided to take the ships shuttle to Vieux Port. Maybe other ships have different drop offs, but it was in a weird place. That said, we took a photo of the Museum nearby so we had a place of reference. From there we took a cab for 7 euros to the Marseille Saint-Charles bus station. For 10 euros round trip, we took bus 50 (an express bus) to Aix en Provence. The bus runs every 5 minutes or so and you are there in 30 minutes. Easy walk to Cours Mirabeau. Also, the bus has free, fast wifi. Spent a few hours in Aix, got back to Marseille and wandered around until we met the shuttle back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
