Step-by-step itinerary

The experience

The catamaran departs the Port of Cannes at 7:30 PM. You board with a welcome beverage and meet the crew before the vessel glides across the bay and around the Lérins Islands archipelago. The route keeps you on the water long enough to watch the light change over the coast and the Promenade de la Croisette come alive as evening falls.

Dinner is a gourmet buffet: roast chicken or beef, rice and pasta salads, apple tart, chocolate fondant, fresh fruit. One glass of wine is included. Additional drinks are available for cash only (no credit cards accepted on board). You eat and mingle with other guests in the romantic setting of the boat, then move to the observation deck as the fireworks begin. The display illuminates the rugged coastline and the bay waters, with the Croisette as the backdrop. When it ends, the catamaran returns to port.

This cruise runs only on the festival dates the organizers set in July and August, so confirm your dates before booking. The operator reserves the right to alter the route or timing due to weather, technical issues or safety concerns, and does not compensate for changes. If you miss the 7:30 PM departure, there is no refund or rescheduling.
