Your day, step by step
08:30
Tender to Quai Landry. Walk along the marina towards the citadel.
08:50
Climb into the citadel. In summer, hire the €8 audioguide under the entrance porch; outside the summer season it comes from the marina tourist office.
09:00
Walk the lanes, see the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, the Oratory of St Anthony and the ruins of the house linked to Columbus. Stop in MUDACC, free, under the entrance porch.
10:45
Walk down to the lower town. Browse Rue Clemenceau.
12:00
Lunch on the harbour, for example fish soup or grilled sardines at Umami in high season, or the Corsican menu at L'Île de Beauté.
13:15
Walk to Calvi beach and swim. Option on a long call instead: the 10:00 train to L'Île-Rousse, back on the 13:30 (31 August–1 November 2026 times).
15:15
Leave the beach.
15:45

Your whole cruise, planned like this
This is one port. The Cruise Pass times every port of your cruise.
You just timed Calvi to your own all-aboard. Every other port on your cruise needs the same, and your ship's times change at each one. The Cruise Pass does this for every port of your sailing, up to 10: each day timed to your ship, a Plan B if you run late, and live mode on the day with Google Maps travel time back to the pier and alerts at 30, 15 and 0 minutes. Every plan uses the same checked facts as this guide. Nothing is made up.
