The last light slips behind the Esterel, and the bay inhales — salt and motor oil, the low murmur of a city that refuses to sleep. Guests step aboard the Rivage Croisière catamaran at Port de Cannes, a wide-decked vessel that turns the promenade and its bright façades into a passing shoreline. The water pulls at the hull, eager and cool, and the catamaran answers by gliding toward the Lérins archipelago.
