Collioure

Collioure stands apart from typical cruise stops with its intimate Mediterranean charm, where a sheltered harbor, cliff-top fortifications, and a painter's light create a living postcard rather than a hurried port of call. As you step ashore, the narrow streets tumble to the water's edge, inviting guests to linger along the quay, admire the Chateau Royal de Collioure, and sample local Muscat de Collioure and anchovy specialties in sunlit bistros. Signature experiences center on the town's art-history lore and coastal scenery—from a guided stroll through the colorful harbor and along the old ramparts to a short hike to the lighthouse with sweeping vistas of the Pyrenees-Orientales coastline. For day trips, Collioure serves as a gateway to the Costa Brava; Cadaques, Figueres for the Dalí Theatre-Museum, and the Banyuls wine route—delivering a palate-pleasing blend of sea, wine, and art within easy reach. The port itself is designed to seamlessly welcome contemporary ships with modern quays, efficient embarkation decks, and shore-power capabilities that reduce emissions and keep calls smooth. Fleet features include close proximity to town for quick disembarkations, sheltered docking, and flexible turnaround options for a variety of mid-size to mid-luxury vessels. Onboard services tied to Collioure's shore experiences include curated, locally guided excursions, wine tastings and gastronomic demonstrations, and multilingual hospitality teams that help guests immerse in the locale even before they step back aboard.
