How Far Is Marseille Cruise Port From City Centre?

Marseilles city center is approximately 12 minutes by car from the cruise port, which is located near popular tourist spots. The port is conveniently located near many popular tourist spots, making it easy to explore before or after a cruise. There are several travel options available to reach the city center, which is about 5-6 miles away. Most cruise ships dock around 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of the Vieux Port, the main center of Marseille. Some smaller ships dock at Joliette, which is much closer and accessible by tram and metro. Free shuttle buses run every 30 minutes between all cruise ship terminals and Joliette Station.

The port has a free shuttle service from the area of Joliette Metro, but it is not easy to find and runs 12 hourly and is very crowded. RTM 35T runs from the port to the city center. The center of Marseille is nearly 6 miles from the port, and it would take over an hour to walk one way.

La Môle Léon Gourret is next door to Môle Léon Gourret. If you’re wondering if there is a free port shuttle bus from the Marceille (big ship) cruise terminal to the old port, it is located about a 20 to 30-minute drive away by car. Marseille Provence Airport handles a large number of international flights, but it is very far from the cruise terminals to the center of Marseille, about 8 kilometers.
