Nice — Virgin Voyages - Italy and French Riviera 2026

Nice And Monaco

Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

Today is our day in Nice and I was really looking forward to it because we had a tour to Monte Carlo in Monaco.

My god. It’s so nice here. I’ll start with Nice. Right away I thought it would be such a cute place to get a villa and enjoy the Med. The houses lining the cliffs are beautiful and the drive and views were stunning. The first thing we saw coming in via tender was an insane yacht. I thought ooh, this is a rich place. Then we went to Monaco.

What To Know: The yacht features a state-of-the-art 'Nemo' cinema with an underwater viewing lounge and a prominent leaping jaguar figurehead on the bow.

Monaco

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Ok. Monaco is money. I could people watch all day. Not only is it beautiful but every other car is a Bentley or Rolls. We walked around the Royal Casino entrance (it wasn’t open yet when we went in) and we walked around the “new casino”. I just love wondering what people do for all this luxury. They aren’t on a bus tour from a cruise, that is for sure.
