From the port of Nice, quai Napoléon Ier, Nissa Croisières offers skipper-led boat trips along the Côte d’Azur, with commentary on the coastline and swimming stops when conditions allow. Routes include Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze, Monaco and the îles de Lérins.
Which excursion should you choose in 2026?
Trips range from around 2 hours for midday, sunrise or sunset outings to 3 hours towards Villefranche or Monaco and up to 4 hours for the îles de Lérins. Every route combines scenic cruising, coastal discovery and, weather permitting, a stop at anchor.
Can you swim during the trip?
Yes, when the captain considers conditions suitable. Entering the water is optional and reserved for passengers who can swim. Morning or evening trips may include breakfast or an aperitif on board, depending on the package.
Where do you board?
All regular excursions depart from the port of Nice, quai Napoléon Ier, near the Port Lympia tram stop. Private charters can be tailored for groups.
The added benefit is the choice of a distinct way to discover the coast: sunrise over Cap-Ferrat, a stop in Villefranche, cruising to Monaco or a longer excursion to the Lérins islands.
