Day 3: Marseille, France
When you cruise, encounter unique ports of call that are rich in history, culture and natural beauty.
Marseille is the second most populous city in France and considered the oldest. Marseille has lots to offer cruisers, including excavations that have found dwellings dating back to 6,000 BC. The city was founded by Greeks in 600 BC as a trading port, and even today Marseilles remains an important trading (and cruising!) port. This ancient city is thoroughly modern with tall buildings and a boom of technology businesses. On your cruise to Marseille, make sure to experience both the ancient and modern in this French marvel.
Genoa is a marvelously hilly city in Northern Italy that is oftentimes overlooked for its more glamorous neighbors, Rome and Venice. However, Genoa, which was once the most important port along the Mediterranean, is one of Europe’s most intact old cities. Genoa, along with nearby Portofino, are perfect cruise destinations to see the some of Italy's best art and architecture. It is also a place that has influenced America in a roundabout way, for Genoa was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, the explorer who brought Europe’s attention to the New World. It is also where we get the word for “jeans.” Genoa produced cotton corduroy that was popular and weavers in Nimes, France tried to reproduce it, but wound up with a twill fabric. This is where we derive the word “denim” from de Nimes, but blue jeans still honor the original fabric produced in Genoa. Explore this marvelous Italian gem on your own cruise to Genoa, Italy, or nearby Portofino.
