I want to inquire about the passengers. I'm looking for a trip for about 20 17-18 year olds and 2 adult advisors, and no extra individual or solo travelers. Can we take this trip only for our group? And are there any price discounts or deals since we are traveling as a school?

This would be a cruise, which will not be the best option for such a large group. Were you looking for a trip specifically in the South of France? May I ask what the groups per person budget would be?

Is it best to fly to Marseille, Montpelier or elsewhere nearby and which is the best way to get to Arles from any of these places?

The closest airports to Arles are Nimes (FNI) Airport and Marseille (MRS). From there you can grab the Train TGV to get to Arles which will usually take from 40 minutes to an hour.

Our cruise on MS Symphonie was excellent. The boat and our cabin in particular were comfortable and well equipped. The food was very good, tasty, beautifully prepared and presented, with well-sized portions, and a wide variety of French cuisine including many regional specialities. The included wines were varied, delicious and demonstrated an interesting range of French varieties. The range of the other drinks on offer was also very satisfactory. We did not feel it was necessary to try any of the paid drinks but it was nice to know they were available. Service was excellent in all categories: efficient and friendly. We only took two of the optional excursions (Strasbourg and Colmar) and both were well organised and very interesting. We would happily take another cruise with CroisiEurope.

Fantastic cruise. Crew were great. Food was excellent. Excursions - Guided Tour of Paris and Landing Beaches (very informative, great guides). On evening of departure, with the upheaval of the French government and threat of lock closures, we were impressed with how staff quickly organized all passengers with coaches/early breakfast for departure from ship at 8 a.m.
