Explore the French Riviera from Villefranche
Villefranche is one of the most beautiful cruise ports in the Mediterranean, with easy access to some of the Riviera’s most famous highlights.
From glamorous Monaco and Monte Carlo to the hilltop village of Èze, this is a destination best explored beyond the ship.
Our Villefranche shore excursions are designed for cruise passengers looking for a smoother, more personal experience.
Instead of large bus tours, we focus on small-group touring, scenic routes and memorable stops that make the most of your day ashore.
Portofino is one of the most beautiful stops on any Mediterranean cruise,
known for its colourful harbour, crystal-clear waters and elegant Italian Riviera charm.
Whether you’re arriving by cruise ship or staying nearby, there are incredible experiences
waiting just beyond the port.
From scenic coastal drives and charming villages like Santa Margherita and Rapallo, to boat trips along
the Ligurian coast and visits to hidden gems like San Fruttuoso.
This site helps you find the best Portofino shore excursions, from affordable group tours
to private experiences designed around your day.
