Day to Day:

2028 Mediterranean Cassis Pre-Cruise/Tour Day to Day Overview (click here for details)

Day 1: Cassis (D)
If you have arranged a Uniworld arrival transfer, you will be greeted at the airport by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the seaside Hôtel Les Roches Blanches, a Belle Époque mansion that was transformed into a 5-star hotel. There you will check in, drop off your bags and, if you wish, go out and explore the city on your own. Your hotel is a nice 20-minute stroll from the town center, and your Uniworld local host can offer suggestions for your leisure time. This evening, dinner is included at your hotel.

Day 2: Cassis (BB)
FEATURED EXCURSION: Cassis Walking Tour
Today after breakfast you will embark on a walking tour in the city center of Cassis to take in the history and natural beauty that this small village has to offer. Your guide will offer interesting anecdotes about points of interest along the way, providing backstory as you admire mansion facades, hidden alleyways, charming squares, and more.

FEATURED EXCURSION: Vineyard Tour with Wine Tasting Visit 
Unlike the majority of Provence, the Cassis AOC is comprised predominantly of white wine grapes, which grow exceptionally well on the limestone soil. The wines produced here are typically on the dry side, full bodied and low acidity. Some have herbal notes, or even a pleasant salinity that captures the sea breeze coming off the Mediterranean coastline. Visit a local vineyard today to try a selection of the wines produced here.

Day 3: Cassis (CB/BB)
Today after breakfast you will transfer from the hotel in Cassis to the ship in Arles to begin your cruise.

Pricing:

From R 39 400 per person (for 2 guests).

For solo guests, there is a single supplement from R 17 000.

Note: Extension pricing varies throughout the year. Please call our Reservations team for pricing and availability details.
