- Welcome back to my channel, and welcome back to my latest vlog series! In this series, we’re exploring one of the biggest and newest ships from Costa Cruises: Costa Smeralda.
In my last episode, I showed you what Savona, Italy looked like to visit by cruise ship. Today, it's time for another port - Marseille, France! I have actually visited Marseille before, but I've never done what we're doing today - I'm really excited to leave the ship and explore!
Marseille often gets a bit of a tough reputation from cruisers, and I've been told by SO MANY that it's the ideal port to spend a day onboard your cruise ship, in order to enjoy the onboard facilities. In this video, let me take you ashore and you can make your own mind up - would you stay on the ship in Marseille, or would you get off and explore?
In this series, Smeralda will be visiting various ports in Spain, France and Italy - let's go and explore some more of Europe together!

Hey Fraser- actually I just came across your video by chance, because I was watching videos on MSC cruises.... But when I heard your accent ( absolutely love it!!! - watched the Outlander series only in the original tone because of that), I just had to watch the whole thing. Very well done! There are so many terrible casts online, with nerving music, stupid comments etc... So I am glad I watched and of course I gave it a definite thumbs up and I even subscribed your channel ;-) .
Although I dont have too much time, I will follow you on your journeys now. Regards from Germany, Bettina
Hi Bettina, what a lovely comment - welcome to my little corner of RUclips - I’m glad you’ve found me! Yes, I get mixed reviews on my accent here on RUclips, so I’m always happy to hear there’s a fan out there, ha.
Welcome onboard!!
I always get off ship in a port I've never been to before. That was an amazing climb! I couldn't do it...😂 What a view! Thanks for bringing us along.
Ha, I’m not sure I could do it again… 😂 Thanks for watching, Tammy!!
I'll be joining the cue in two weeks from now! Online checkin completed! Yoohooooo
I would definitely need to take the train!!! lol But I'd sure try making my why through parts of Marseille for sure, if for no other reason than to say I did it! I know what you mean about not seeing a place anywhere to grab a drink of anything...even a bottle of water. Always enjoy sail away!! Just great stuff!! Bruce and Otis
Yeah, I agree - always worth trying to get off the ship for a bit, eh? Thanks so much for watching as always guys - I always love seeing your names pop up!! 😊
I'll be joining the cue in 2 weeks. Omlin checkin completed. Yooohoooo
Ooh, so exciting! What’s your plan for Marseille?!
I loved the cathedral on the mountain. I certainly will go there. And rest of the time just wonder around a bit. Enjoying some spa-time in the afternoon. (with discount on a portday, told you...I'm Dutch haha)
When I was there in May this ,my friends and I decided on a taxi back to the ship Arvia as it was pretty warm the day we were there .. how many steps did you do that day Fraser 😅
Yeah, I can totally understand the taxi back - the heat there can be really quite intense being honest! I dread to think the final number - I’m not sure I can count that high. It’s fair to say that’s how I kept the weight off on my European cruises, haha!
