Five tips for creating lifelong connections and memories on your next journey Immerse yourself in local life Our unique Local Life shore excursions are designed to reveal the rhythms of daily living in each city or town.

For example, on our Handicrafts in Marseille excursion, you’ll visit the French town of Aubagne and discover the art of making traditional santon figurines at a handicraft studio and museum.
