Hi Millie,

I can only help you with Marseille, there was a shuttle provided at a charge of 3 euros return - with Thomson you could buy the tickets on board and they went on to the on board account - you really need to take this shuttle as it is quite a way - the shuttle drops you off in the centre near the harbour - pick up to return in the same place.

Thank you Gretchen, this is the kind of information I am looking for. We will take the shuttle and have a wander round
Kind Regards
Millie

Hi

Have just returnedfrom med discovery cuise on thomson celebration. Ports of call incuded Marseille and Livorno. The cruise news letter we received before the day in Marseille said that a shuttle bus into the townwould be providedby the port at a cost of 3.50 Euro return per adult however due to strikes by the French port staff the next day we were unable to go to Marseille and instead went to Toulon. In Livorno there was a shuttle bus into town again provided by the port and this was 1.00 Euro per person return. The shutle bus dropped you off right in the town and next to an information kiosk where you can get a detailed map and any other info you would like. You will find the staff at the destination desk onboard all Thomson ships very helpful with information for people wishing to do their own thing. Therewere many passangers going to various placesfrom Livorno on there own so i am sure getting to Lucca or Portifino should be quiet easy.

We went to Valencia a couple of years ago, and I think there was a shuttle bus to get you into the city. We loved the city - both the old and modern part. I recommend the open top bus tour which takes you to both..
