Royal Caribbean announced that it will significantly increase its offerings from Marseille, France next year.
From May 6 to August 26, 2013, Royal Caribbean will offer 17 roundtrip cruises from Marseille, versus just 7 this summer. The itinerary will cover Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa.
Currently Grandeur of the Seas is scheduled to sail out of Marseille but in 2013, Legend of the Seas. Legend of the Seas was delivered in 1995 by French shipyards, the ship 264 meters long and 69,000 tons can accommodate 2,074 passengers. It will benefit next winter from a vast revitalization program to renovate its public spaces and cabins, while bringing new entertainment and dining options on board.
Besides cruises from Marseille, Royal Caribbean will increase its presence in 2013 at the port of Toulon. Between May 27 and October 21, 2013, 22 cruises (versus 21 this summer) will be offered aboard Liberty of the Seas.
