Flights to get you there
Nice is a short hop from Paris, London or Frankfurt; there are also seasonal nonstops from New York. We price it end to end.
- Fly into Nice
- Nice airport (NCE) is 30–45 minutes from Monaco by car — or about seven minutes by helicopter. Large ships anchor off Port Hercule and tender guests ashore.
- Arrive a day early
- Long-haul flights from North America land after a night in the air. Arrive the day before embarkation: it absorbs a delay and gives you a full night’s sleep before sailing.
