without any doubt you will need a taxi if you are staying in Toulon  - you simply cannot walk from Toulon to La Seyne  - there is only space for one cruise ship in Toulon 

La seyne is complete with a cruise terminal 

you can also stay a night in Toulon before the cruise , 

I am booked on the same cruise  and will stay some days before the cruise in the village of Cassis ( with great wines) 

there is also a boat from Toulon to Cassis but then you must walk from the station to the quay what is rather difficult with luggage  - and I do not know the  schedules of that boat 

 

So, we embark in La Seyne (as opposed to Toulon)? Is it better to stay in La Seyne?

We will be embarking on Crystal Symphony at La Seyne this June. We will be staying in Le Marais, Paris area beforehand. We thought we'd take a train to Toulon. It looks like there are direct trains with no changing. Is this the best option? From the Toulon station, I assume we'd take a taxi (if it's too far to walk with luggage) to where the ship is docked. Is this a good plan? Any suggestions/tips?

Thanks!

Excursions were hit and miss but this has been our experience across the board on every single cruise we have been on. We went on 2 Crystal organised excursions and (in our opinion) one was excellent and one was dreadful which seems to be par for the course. 

Would you mind sharing which excursions you took ( including the ones you liked vs didn’t). Thanks

Our ship was docked in Fusina, about 30 mins drive from Venice centre. 

Did Crystal provide transportation to the port in Venice?

What is the port in Venice, where the ship is docked? We will be disembarking in Venice this June and are trying to figure out where the port is and the best way to get to the port for a few nights stay in Venice.
