Quick answer
Arvia docks at Môle Nord in La Seyne-sur-Mer,
across the bay from Toulon. Skip the ship’s shuttle: the public 8M ferry
reaches Toulon’s old town in 20 minutes for €2.
With 6,685 guests ashore, go early or go local.
What to expect from a Arvia call
At up to 6,685 guests, Arvia is among the very largest ships to call in Toulon Bay all year — when it empties ashore, thousands want the same ferry, streets and cafés at once. It’s late season — mild, calm and quiet, with the softest light of the year over the bay.
Most guests aboard are English-speaking; ashore, English works in tourist spots but signs and menus are French-first — a few words of French go a long way.
Docked at Môle Nord, your cheapest route into Toulon is the €2 8M ferry — but on a ship this size, cross before the 09:00–10:30 rush or explore La Seyne first to skip the pier queue.

Arvia port-day tips
- With 6,685 guests ashore, the 8M ferry queues at peak (09:00–10:30) — cross before 08:45 or after 10:30, or explore La Seyne first and cross at midday.
- Foot passengers can walk out of the port gate on every call day — the ship’s paid shuttle is a convenience, never the only option.
- Times can change on the day — always trust Arvia’s daily programme for the exact all-aboard.
