French Riviera & Côte d'Azur Dossier

The pinnacle of European high glamour, Monaco Grand Prix berths, Cannes red carpet marinas, and Saint-Tropez lifestyle.

Principality of Monaco • Port Hercule Pier Berth

Monte Carlo (Monaco)

The world's most prestigious cruise port call. Luxury liners moor directly alongside multi-million-dollar superyachts at Nouvelle Jetée in Port Hercule. Guests step straight into the epicenter of Formula 1 racing lore, Casino de Monte-Carlo, and Michelin 3-star dining at Le Louis XV by Alain Ducasse.

Reelbeacon Concierge Tip: Evening departures from Monaco are unmatched; request a port-side balcony to watch the illuminated Prince's Palace on The Rock as you slip out into the Ligurian Sea.
Côte d'Azur • Tender Anchorage

Cannes, Antibes & Îles de Lérins

Ships tender directly into Cannes Old Port right by the Palais des Festivals. Excursions can whisk guests inland to Grasse—the perfume capital of the world—or across to the tranquil, car-free Île Saint-Honorat where Cistercian monks have cultivated vineyards since the 5th century.

Var Coastline • Tender Anchorage

Saint-Tropez & Pampelonne

Celebrated for its bohemian artistic heritage and legendary beach clubs (Club 55, Bagatelle), Saint-Tropez is best experienced from a boutique yacht-style ship anchored in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
