Several cruise options exist for travelers looking to visit the French Riviera. Many such cruises make stops in Monte Carlo, Cannes and Saint Tropez before continuing either east to Italy or west to Spain. Vacationers can choose from more traditional, family cruises, such as those offered by cruise lines like Seabourn, or more intimate and specialized ones, such as sail boat cruises with the Star Clippers cruise line.
