Where is located the Port of Toulon Cruise Terminal
The smaller ships will dock directly in the centre of Toulon. The larger ships will dock at La Seyne-sur-Mer. The 8 M boat line connects the two cities (2 euros per trip in 2015), but the departure is from the marina which is located at a certain distance from the dock where you will dock. Your cruise line will probably also offer a river shuttle directly from the dock, but the price will be much higher (Celebrity: $23 US in 2015).Travelling around the Toulon Cruise Port
