Port of Villefranche-Santé transfers

Your disembarkation, and where we meet you
Villefranche is an anchorage, not a berth. The ship stops out in the bay, and the ship’s tenders run back and forth to the cruise terminal at the port de la Santé. In practice: between the ship’s arrival time and the moment you are really ashore, an hour or more can pass, depending on where your disembarkation group falls in the order.
That is why we do not set your pick-up by the ship’s schedule, but by your actual disembarkation. Let us know when you board the tender: the car is there when you set foot on the quay.
The chauffeur waits at the exit of the cruise terminal, on place Wilson. The terminal itself is a security zone: you do not park there, you are collected in front. The village car parks — Wilson, Barmassa, des Marinières, Fossés de la Citadelle — serve as a fallback when the square is full.
A tender operation can be delayed or cancelled by wind and sea state. If the call is cancelled, your booking can be cancelled free of charge within the stated period, and we would rather tell you before you pay.
