We arrived at the port of Marseille shortly before 8:30 and the process was completed while we ate our breakfast in the dinning room. With no major plans for today we opted to simply take the ships shuttle into town. Tickets cost €10.95 each with the buses running every 35 minutes. We left the ship at just after 10:00 and were lucky enough to find a shuttle just about to leave. 20 minutes later we were dropped close to Port Viex and proceeded to go for a wander around the waters edge.
50 cents for the ferry back was a no brainer. We then bought tickets (€8 each) for The Petite Train which took us on a circular route up to the Notre Dame de la garde. The queue for tickets was long enough to put most off but it did move really quickly, we had around a 30 minute stop for the obligatory photos at the highest point before taking another train back to the start. 
The interior of the basilica was quite impressive too
Back at the bottom we stopped at one of the many cafés for a bite to eat and a drink. It was then back to the shuttle stop for the journey back to the ship. 
Drinks in the atrium before heading back to the cabin to put our feet up.
Another really nice day and we have just become accustomed to being onboard ship again and sadly we have to get off tomorrow.
