Departing from the Vieux-Port, the Groupement des Armateurs Côtiers Marseillais (GACM) organizes guided tours of the bay and its series of rocky, fjord-like inlets called calanques. Cruisers take visitors on a non-stop four-hour tour from Marseilles to Cassis, past a dozen small islands including Morgiou (renowned for its underwater Cosquer Cave featuring some of the world’s oldest prehistoric cave paintings and engravings). Get close to imposing, steep limestone cliffs that date as far back as the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Groups can stop off in the quaint old fishing port of Cassis.
Tickets: around EUR18.29
