The port and the city of Villefranche-sur-mer, were very pleased to welcome the new flagship Anthem-of-the-seas for the second time this season.

More than 100 stores identified by pennants “Welcome to Cruise Passengers” welcomed 5000 passengers and crew members of this ship of exception. Passengers got a  privileged welcome, commercial discounts, discovery of the city on the theme of the local flavors, the cinema and the shopping.
