What To Expect

Head to Nice Harbor in the morning to board your ferry. Relax as you cruise from Nice along the stunning French Riviera, arriving in the principality of Monaco — the second-smallest country in the world, behind the Vatican — about 45 minutes later. The Port of Monaco offers a grand and unforgettable panorama: luxury yachts bobbing in the harbor, palaces clinging to a rocky outcrop overlooking the Mediterranean, and a mix of ancient and ultra-modern architecture in the lively city center. The whole day is yours to spend as you please. There is no guide, so you can enjoy the flexibility to create your own itinerary and explore at your own pace. Soak up Monaco’s glamor and extravagance as you stroll around the harbor and wander down streets lined with buzzing cafes and chic boutiques. Then make your way to Monaco’s famous attractions. Get a glimpse into royal life at the Prince’s Palace (Palais du Prince) or watch the dramatic poker-faced gamble in the grand marble-and-gold Casino of Monte Carlo. Nature lovers can visit the cliff-top Oceanographic Museum (Musée Océanographique de Monaco) for a glimpse at the sea creatures of the Mediterranean. Visit the rooftop terrace for sweeping views of Monaco and the sea beyond. Head to the Exotic Garden (Jardin Exotique) to see the world’s largest succulent and cactus collection and tour the prehistoric underground caves (Grottes de l’Observatoire). Back above ground, rub shoulders with locals at Monaco’s only microbrewery, the Brasserie de Monaco, where you can enjoy craft ales and lagers with tasty antipasti plates (happy hour usually starts at 5pm). At the end of your day in Monaco, board the ferry and cruise 45 minutes along the coast back to Nice.

    Great way to get a view of the coast and a trip into Monaco. It docks in Port de Fontville, so keep that in mind for your hiking and walking. Walking around Monaco is very vertical. Smooth crew, right on time and a very genial bunch.

    We booked online 2 days before. Tickets were available without Waiting time. Car park Port Lympia 2min walk. To the ship again 3min. One way took about 35 min. Return journey 4.45pm took about 1 h as it went over the bays and there were explanations about individual houses. Language French and English. A great experience and a relaxed crossing from Nice to Monaco.

    Very impressed with the staff & crew of the boat during our journey to & from Monaco, friendly, funny and great commentary... however, a few things that we found could be improved: no air circulation or AC inside the boat (everyone was very hot even before we arrived in Monaco)... this was not helped by the lack of any shade or shelter for people lined up to board the ferry after validating their tickets at the registration kiosk. Also, in Monaco for the return trip, there was no queueing system, people were just allowed to push their way to the front of the line when the boat arrived. The boat should have been waiting for passengers at least 30 min before departure to allow staff to coordinate a more organized re-boarding experience. (This is how it's done with most cruises/ferries in other cities/countries).
