Costa Pacifica in Toulon (La Seyne-sur-Mer): your port day guide
Costa Cruises · 19 calls in Toulon Bay in 2026 · mostly EU guests.
What to expect from a Costa Pacifica call
With up to 3,780 guests, Costa Pacifica is a big ship, so it pays to plan around the mid-morning rush ashore. This is high summer — hot, bright and busy; carry water and sun cover, and expect lively beaches.
A mixed European crowd sails aboard; French is the local language, with English widely understood in tourist spots.
Docked at Môle Nord, the €2 8M ferry across the bay is the easy, cheap way into Toulon.

Which day trips fit the Costa Pacifica call?
Costa Pacifica is alongside from 06:30–16:00. Take off the half hour it takes to actually get off the ship, the 30 minutes before all-aboard, the 2 hr 20 min it costs to reach Toulon’s station and come back from Môle Nord, the travelling itself, and an hour of margin — and this is what is genuinely left on the ground.

Costa Pacifica port-day tips
- This is a turnaround call — Costa Pacifica embarks and disembarks guests here, so the terminal is busiest mid-morning. La Seyne’s town and beaches stay quieter than Toulon’s centre.
- Foot passengers can walk out of the port gate on every call day — the ship’s paid shuttle is a convenience, never the only option.
- Times can change on the day — always trust Costa Pacifica’s daily programme for the exact all-aboard.
