SNMK Posted August 18 #1 Share Posted August 18 I am posting this question here and on the NCL cruise port board. Is there an NCL bus at the Marseille port that can take me into Marseille? If so, how and when can I sign up for this bus? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an NCL bus at the Marseille port that can take me into Marseille? If so, how and when can I sign up for this bus? i checked the replies you received on the NCL board before replying here , but I think you may have gotten a slightly wrong impression of the free bus access and ease of use,therefore just in case that is so, wanted to explain the alternative, which will mean paying, but IMHO worth it, There could be very long lines for the free port bus. I remember one member mentioning that on their busy port day they estimated around 200 in line. And that bus does not take you into Marseille centre, running instead to a transport hub where you can pick up public transport or walk the rest of the way.. Note that cruiselines very rarely advertise shuttle buses in any port ahead of time as they want passengers to buy shorex instead. Shuttle buses are usually only advised the previous afternoon or evening, although how NCL do it I do not know. .It is sometimes on your daily "newspaper", sometimes not, or may be close to the shorex desks. I have therefore highlighted this past thread for you to read, as it not only gives cruise shuttle info, but could alsobe helpful info for easy sightseeing in Marseille. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2974091-marseille-old-town-to-cruise-port/#comment-67441800 There are of course many other past threadsand you could choose which to read from these https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?q=marseille&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=462 Edited August 20 by edinburgher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few hours ago this very current thread has been updated with feedback on shuttle buses and IMHO would be worth a look. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2974091-marseille-old-town-to-cruise-port/#comment-67797929 Edited August 20 by edinburgher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_c Posted August 21 #4 Share Posted August 21 Yes, NCL does have a shuttle bus from the Marseille port into the city. I took one last year, and it was super convenient. You can usually book it through NCL’s website or just ask at guest services once you’re on the ship. They’ll give you all the details you need.
