Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Start your tour by meeting your tour guide at the Cannes cruise dock.
From here, you will head out on a short scenic drive to the popular La Croisette promenade located along the luxurious waterfront in Cannes. This wide pedestrianized walkway runs between the sandy beach and the coastal road and offers beautiful views of the sea and the Isle Sainte Marguerite. The area is peppered with luxury shops and five-star hotels, and is famous mostly from the Palais des Festivals, where the Cannes Film Festival is hosted every year with a red carpet that reaches the Boulevard.
Escorted by your tour guide, you will get out and enjoy a panoramic stroll along La Croisette.
After your tour at La Croisette, the next part of your tour will be spent on a scenic drive to the nearby Antibes, located in the picturesque Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels). Stroll in the charming Old Town, with the typical character of an old Mediterranean city. Enjoy beautiful seaside views, old stone buildings, elegant fountains and little boutiques. On market days, the medieval quarter is bustling with vendors selling fruits, vegetables, flowers and artisanal Provencal products.
Your last stop in Antibes will be to see the famous Le Nomade at Bastion Saint-Jaume. Stroll along the old Marina wall, enjoy spectacular views of the blue water on one side and the historic Old Town on the other. The Le Nomade sculpture is a unique piece of contemporary art, made by the famous Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa. Built by letters, this massive figure which is 8 meters high, is sitting in a squatting position on his bastion overlooking the water.
Start the 45-minute drive back to Cannes.
