Why Visit Avignon Before Embarking on a Rhône Cruise?
Planning a Rhône River cruise? Start your journey stress-free with a private transfer from Marseille Airport to Avignon, the perfect way to arrive relaxed and ready to explore.
Nestled in the heart of Provence, Avignon is one of the most charming and historically rich cities in southern France. Before setting sail on your Viking River Cruise or any other prestigious journey along the Rhône, spending one or two nights in Avignon is the perfect way to immerse yourself in French culture, architecture, and gastronomy.
Wander through the Palais des Papes, stroll across the famous Pont d’Avignon, and lose yourself in the picturesque streets full of artisan shops and cozy cafés.
Avignon is not just a stopover — it’s an experience that sets the tone for a memorable cruise.
