Walking from the tender pier
Most excursions meet near the harbour tender landing, a short walk from where passengers come ashore. Upon arrival at the tender pier, follow the directions on your booking confirmation to reach the meeting point. The walk from the tender landing is typically short and mostly flat, but exact route and timing depend on where your ship's tenders land on the day.
After you tender ashore
Most large cruise ships do not dock directly in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Instead, ships anchor in the bay and passengers are transferred ashore by tender boat. The tender ride offers views of the French Riviera coastline, the colourful harbour of Villefranche-sur-Mer, and the hills above the Côte d'Azur as you arrive.
Tender boats arrive in Villefranche-sur-Mer, near the harbour and old town.
Aim to arrive a few minutes before departure and use an early tender where appropriate.
