Small Ship French Riviera Cruises

The Côte d'Azur is made for the sea. Sailing this stretch of southern France on a small ship, you trade crowded promenades for quiet coves, glamorous harbors and the island of Corsica, all from the deck of a vessel carrying a few dozen to a few hundred guests rather than thousands. Cruises sail from Nice and Cannes along a coast that has drawn travelers for more than a century, with stops for swimming, coastal towns and Mediterranean cuisine. This page should help travelers understand what a small-ship cruise along the French Riviera and how to choose one. Talk with a Mediterranean cruise specialist to find the right sailing.

We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!

Its a beautiful country, very friendly people, and everything went like clockwork. The local guide/driver was one of the best we've had: knowledgeable, always on time, had good ideas for what to see. Khiri Travel (the local travel agency) is terrific. Second trip we've taken with them. Recommend them and Adventure Life 100%
