Reserve your spot on the Full-Day Private Custom-Made Cannes Shore Excursion today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring ID and Cruise Documents
Carry passports and your cruise paperwork—border checks can be brief but strict when visiting Monaco or returning to a ship.
Wear sturdy shoes
Streets in old towns are cobbled and steep; closed-toe walking shoes with good grip make short hikes and stair climbs easier.
Time your photos
Plan photo stops early or late in the day to avoid harsh midday sun and crowds along the Promenade des Anglais.
Hydrate and layer up
Bottled water is provided but bring a refill bottle; coastal winds can make mornings cool, so pack a light layer.
Comfortable walking shoes
Support and grip for cobblestones and narrow village lanes.
Light windproof jacket
Coastal breezes and microclimates in Èze/Monaco can be cool in spring mornings.
