Brilliance of the Seas 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.

What to expect from a Brilliance of the Seas call

At up to 2,580 guests, Brilliance of the Seas is a mid-to-large ship — busy in bursts but rarely overwhelming. This is high summer — hot, bright and busy; carry water and sun cover, and expect lively beaches.

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, the €2 8M ferry across the bay is the easy, cheap way into Toulon.
