Port Toulon cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Toulon, France Riviera, La Seyne-sur-Mer. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Toulon is a Mediterranean cruise port and France's principal naval base. The city has population around 165,000, ranking it France's 15th largest city and the country's 9th largest urban area (population around 560,000). On the Mediterranean coast, Toulon is France's 3rd largest city - following Marseille and Nice.

Smaller-sized luxury cruise ships and superyachts may alternatively dock at La Seyne-sur-Mer (to the southwest across the bay). The distance between Toulon and La Seyne is just 5 km (3 mi) across the bay, and ~7 km (4 mi) by road (travel time ~10 min).

The list of  French Riviera (Cote d'Azur)  ports also includes  Antibes ,  Bandol ,  Cannes ,  Cassis ,  Marseille ,  Sanary-sur-Mer ,  St Raphael ,  Villefranche-sur-Mer (Nice)  and  Monte Carlo (Monaco) .

Despite the post-war reconstruction, Toulon's traditional charm survived amid the narrow winding streets of the old town behind Vieux Port and the waterfront. Places of interest include 11th-century church of Saint Marie Majeure, the church of Saint Louis, and a large military hospital. Forts dating from the 17th century are found in the hills surrounding Toulon. Tourists are able to enjoy the fine views from Mont Faron and the flower market.

The town was strongly fortified by kings Henri IV (1553-1610) and Louis XIV (1638-1715). In 1707, during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1715), the town withstood the allied fleets of England and Holland. During the French Revolution, in 1793, the Royalists handed over the control of the city to the Anglo-Spanish naval force.

Toulon also has a military port which is the French Navy's principal base. Here are most of the country's naval forces (over 60% by tonnage), including the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and all nuclear submarines. The military port is divided into 4 main zones, each with its own Mediterranean Sea access. The main (Castigneau) zone has 2 main entrances - one located next to the civilian port, and one at the west entrance to downtown Toulon.

Port Toulon (locode FRTLN), being a naval port, remains open the whole year round, Cruise ship tourism in the region has quadrupled since 2008 when Var Provence Cruise Club (abbrev VPCC) was established. VPPC grouped several large French Mediterranean ports and intensively promotes and develops the Mediterranea cruising vacation travel in the region, resulting in increased cruise shipping traffic in both port Toulon City and La Seyne sur Mer.

For season 2017, the cruise port had scheduled a total of 100 ship visits and handled ~280,000 passengers. These numbers showed a decline over 2016, with 33% fewer ship calls and 10% fewer passengers.

In 2016 was inaugurated the new cruise terminal in La Seyne-sur-Mer. Also in 2016 was completely refurbished the passenger terminal in downtown. Annually, Port Toulon handles 1,6+ million ship passengers (ferry + cruise) and ~1300 passenger ships ( ferries and cruise vessels).

Following the 2-year pause in cruise shipping operations due to the COVID crisis, in 2022 Port Toulon had scheduled 87 ship calls (booked berthings from 18 different cruise line brands) with estimated ~170,000 tourists.

Since 2023, the Port provides shore-power connectivity/cold ironing for cruise vessels. ABB's Shore Connection technology allows berthed ships to make 50 or 60Hz power connections to the city's power grid for the electricity they need for the onboard operations (instead of using their diesel generators) thus reducing in-port air pollution and noise levels. The project was developed by a consortium including ABB Group (equipment provider), Eiffage SA (construction company/contracted for the engineering works) and Electricite Industrielle JP Fauche (electrical engineering services/contracted for the equipment's installation).

Toulon cruise terminal

Cruise ships to Toulon dock at 2 ports: Toulon (Port Marchand in downtown) and Port La Seyne-sur-Mer (to the southwest across the bay).

La Seyne-sur-Mer is regarded French Mediterranean's most sheltered harbor port, being well protected in the winter from the Mistral wind. Mistral is a strong and cold northwestern wind blowing into the Gulf of Lion from southern France. Sustained winds (most common during winter and spring) often exceed speeds of 66 kph (41 mph), with the strongest winds (between seasons) reaching speeds of 456 kph (283 mph).

The new cruise terminal at La Seyne-sur-Mer was inaugurated in 2016.

At both cruise ports, VPCC (Var Provence Cruise Club) has a welcome desk with professional hostesses who provide disembarking cruise ship tourist with information, advice and maps. The club also started a "cruise friendly" campaign by which arriving tourists are given maps of participating in the campaign restaurants, bars, shops, tour operators, transport providers, art galleries, museums. All businesses and establishments participating in this program are open during cruise ship visits and give passengers discounted deals, free gifts, special services.

Most larger ships do not dock in Toulon itself, however they dock at La Seyne sur Mer, across the bay. It is part of the agglomeration of Toulon, and is situated adjacent to the west of this city. 10 KM away. Shuttles by land provided by the cruise line, sometimes free. From La Seyne-sur-Mer there is a good ferry connection to the center of Toulon ( line 8M ), Espace Marine, every 30 minutes, 2 Euro each way, just follow the signs. Trip takes around 20 minutes. To get to the ferry look for Russo Yachting and follow the coast for about 10 minutes till' you get to the ferry stop.

To get to the center of La Seyne sur Mer, a pretty town in itself, take the same route but continue for another 10 minutes. Here you can also take the ferry (Seyne) to Toulon.

A new cruise terminal building has opened in 2016. It has a few souvenir shops but no WiFi. From here free shuttles, every 20 minutes, take you to the center of Toulon. The trip takes about 10 minutes.

In Toulon itself smaller ships dock at the Quay Fournel pier. From the ship to the city-center, passengers are only a few steps away. They can easily reach the promenade along the marina with its many restaurants and cafes, a main shopping-mall (100 boutiques), the old medieval quarter and its picturesque Provencal street market (the biggest one in Provence), it's a feast of color and fragrance, alive with the sunny Mediterranean accent of the stall-holders. You will find several fountains, shady' squares, chic quarter from Baron Haussmann including the impressive Opera, museums and monuments.

In recent years the town has moved from its traditional industries to tourism. The docks previously used have had extensive work done and now comprise a park, marinas and a new hotel overlooking Toulon and the marinas. Downtown Toulon still has a somewhat drab feeling to it.

Toulon is a large naval base and you often will see aircraft carriers and other navy ships in port.

Sightseeing:

Toulon's bustling Provencal market - one of Provence's biggest - is open every morning and the many cafes and restaurants along the sea front offer pleasant terraces overlooking the Marina. Points of interest include the fascinating old quarter with its ancient cathedral, shady squares and moss-covered fountains. Cable car rides to the top of 'Le Faron' Mountain provide panoramic views over the city and bay and can be followed by a visit to the World War II museum. Passengers can tour the town directly from the port on a little train.

Toulon is perhaps good for an hour or two sightseeing, so plan to visit nearby places also.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

From Seyne sur Mer: Instead of using the shuttle bus ($12.00), one can take the boat (maritime line 8M) for only 2.00 Euros (or buy a day pass valid for bus, boat and cable for 6.00 Euros; or buy a day pass for unlimited land only trips for 3.90 Euros). The 8M maritime line (transfer boat) runs every 25-35 minutes and the ride takes 20 minutes.

Le Petit Train de Toulon : Jump on the tourist train on a summer afternoon and the 45 minutes ride is thoroughly enjoyable. It departs from the port/ Waterfront area (in Square Germain Noveau) almost every 30 minutes or so. Cost: 6.00€/adult; 4.00€/kid There are two types of routes that you can choose from (based on your interest; same cost): a). Visit the Naval Base July-August:10h - 11h - 13h30 - 14h30 - 15h30 b). Visit the city and the beaches of Mourillon (Circuit 1) July-August: 10h30-11h-11h30-12h-13h30-14h-14h30-15h- 15h30-16h-16h30-17h-17h30-18h

For a great view of Toulon, its harbor and the fleet take the cable car up Mount Faron. I would suggest you first walk to the tourism office, where the market is, to check if the cable car is running (won't if too windy) and grab a special offer ticket, 7.5 € including bus and cable car. then hop on bus 40 and go, every 20 minutes. The cable cars are small, with very limited capacity, so be aware that even in non-peak times, there can be a very long wait (1 to 2 hours) for the cable car.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Marseille , Aix en Provence , are on most shore excursions lists. The train station of Toulon is a 15 minute walk away from where the transfer boats dock. There are good train connections between Toulon and Marseille Saint Charles (every 30 minutes). The ride takes about 45min to 1 hour and costs around 14 Euro per person.

Sanary sur Mer and Bandol are two relaxing beach resorts. Take bus 8806 in front of the Kyriad hotel in the center of La Seyne sur Mer, a 40 minute pleasant trip, 3€ one way.

Shopping and Food

Provencal Market In Toulon : Daily (except on Mondays) from 8 am to 1 pm : Cours Lafayette pedestrian street, opposite the marina just after the port exit (5 min walk from the ship) It's a real local market, so do not expect many touristy things to buy.

You can even sample wines crafted from grapes grown in nearby vineyards.

On Toulon, France shore excursions, revel in the joys of the quintessential Provenҫal town, Aix. Spend a day walking sun-dappled avenues that retain the charm of their 17th century architecture, enjoying the cool breeze from the many fountains. Ride an antique carousel and take postcard-perfect photos.

From your western Mediterranean cruise , be a part of the glamour and sophistication that is St. Tropez as you wander this renowned resort town that’s a favorite of celebrities of every stripe.
