Where Do Celebrity Cruises Ships Dock in Villefranche?
Villefranche-sur-Mer is a tender port.
This means Celebrity Cruises ships normally anchor in the bay, and passengers travel ashore aboard smaller tender boats.
Once you reach the Villefranche waterfront, your Riviera Shore Excursions driver will meet you at the agreed pickup point near the tender pier, holding a sign with your name.
No need to arrange a taxi or navigate public transportation.
Our VIP pickup service begins ashore and does not include priority access to Celebrity Cruises tender boats.
We recommend following your ship’s tender instructions and communicating your confirmed arrival arrangements before your excursion.
Will You Return to Your Celebrity Cruise Ship on Time?
We understand that returning to your cruise ship is one of the biggest concerns when booking an independent shore excursion.
At Riviera Shore Excursions, every private tour is planned around the relevant cruise schedule.
Our drivers take local traffic, sightseeing duration and the last-tender deadline into consideration.
We aim to return guests to Villefranche with a generous safety margin, generally at least one hour before the relevant last-tender deadline whenever the itinerary allows.
Our company offers an on-time return commitment for the agreed excursion, subject to its terms and circumstances beyond our control.
Guests must always follow Celebrity Cruises’ official boarding instructions. Riviera Shore Excursions is an independent operator and cannot arrange for a cruise ship to wait.
