Harmony II - French Riviera Mini Cruises, Summer 2008 Destinations

*Îles de Lérins*

Lying just a few kilometres offshore from Cannes, the islands of Ste Marguerite and St. Honorat are ideally located for a swim stop, water sports and touring ashore. Alternatively enjoy a relaxing visit to the Monastery, Fort or Museum or enjoy a stroll through the eucalyptus forests.

*St Tropez*

The cosmopolitan town of St Tropez is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the French Riviera. Once ashore, discover the fashionable shops in the little streets which exist behind the port. Take a leisurely stroll along the marina, past the entertaining street artists, or maybe try out some of the many waterfront

bars.

*îles d’Hyères*

One of three islands, Porquerolles has stunning scenic cliffs and coves, fine sandy beaches and crystal clear water. A choice of quiet, idyllic anchorages exist and we

can search out a scenic bay in which to weigh anchor. An energetic afternoon of aquatic activities is on offer or perhaps a mountain biking experience or exploratory

botanical walk ashore. For the less active, the opportunity for a relaxing fternoon’s sleep on deck might prove to be a more tempting option.

*Cannes*

The popular glamour capital of Cannes is famous for the annual, international film festival which attracts an abundance of international movie stars. Designer boutiques, trendy cafes and sophisticated restaurants are in abundance. You might like to spend time ashore, visiting the charming village of Mougins before returning on-boards.

*Antibes*

Antibes is one of the most prestigious yacht harbours in this area. You can take the opportunity to explore the medieval hilltop villages and the shops, or perhaps visit the fabulous food market used by chefs world-wide. Here you will also find a wealth of museums to visit, including the Musée Picasso (Antibes being the

inspiration for many of his paintings). Visit the small inland ancient town of Grasse and take a tour around one of the three perfume essence producers, or perhaps

enjoy a leisurely browse amongst the local antique shops.

*Monte Carlo*

Monaco is a tax haven and gamblers paradise and playground of the rich and famous. The exciting Formula One Grand Prix is held here every year and you can walk the course along the narrow streets. The steep cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop to this vibrant harbour. An excellent base for trips to the interior, we allow you plenty of time to explore the mainland. You might like to visit the Royal palace or Princess Grace’s Botanical Gardens. The Grimaldi Palace, Café de Paris, Casino Royale and the Formula 1 Grand Prix Circuit are all highly recommended.

*Villefranche*

Our anchorage is surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the enclosed bay, where jagged mountains descend dramatically into the vibrant sea. This charming

port is wonderfully picturesque with a variety of colourful houses, superb waterside restaurants and chic shops. Go ashore by tender or just simply relax onboard

– it’s your choice.

*Arrival and Departure*

You will arrive at your convenience to either Nice Cote d’Azur International Airport or Cannes Mandelieu Airport. Transfer to Nice Port by taxi or use the Navette
