Cruises from Arles, Rhone River Cruises from Arles, Arles Cruise Deals

Arles, France

Arles is a city on the Rhone in Provence, in the south of France, famous for a Roman arena that still holds crowds after nearly 2,000 years and for the more than 300 paintings and drawings Vincent van Gogh made here in 1888 and 1889, among them The Night Cafe and Starry Night Over the Rhone. Taken by the Romans in 123 BC, it became one of the most important cities of Roman Gaul, and its Roman and Romanesque monuments were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. The city of about 52,000 people lies just below the point where the Rhone splits in two to form the Camargue, France's largest wetland, much of which falls within its boundaries.

Do river cruise ships dock in Arles? Yes. River ships moor on the Rhone within walking distance of the town, and the compact old center, with the arena, the Roman theater and St. Trophime close together, is easy to explore on foot.

Cruises to Arles are river cruises on the Rhone and the Saone, with Avalon, Viking River, AmaWaterways, Emerald, Uniworld, Scenic, CroisiEurope and Tauck, and many cruises start or end here, so Arles is often the first or last city of a Provence river voyage. Arrive a day early or stay a day after, and the arena, the cloister and Van Gogh's Arles fit comfortably around embarkation.

On a single day, walk the arena first, since it anchors the old town, then the theater and St. Trophime's cloister, and finish at the Espace Van Gogh courtyard.

Things to do in Arles, France

Arles crowds Roman monuments, Romanesque carving and Van Gogh's footsteps into an old town small enough to cover on foot.

♦ Arles Amphitheater

Completed around AD 90, shortly after the Colosseum in Rome, the arena once held more than 20,000 spectators. After the fall of Rome it became a fortified town with towers and more than 200 houses inside its walls. Restored from the 1820s, it still hosts bullfights during the city's feria, along with plays and concerts in summer.

♦ The Roman Theater

Built in the 1st century during the reign of Augustus, the ancient theater is one of the Roman monuments of Arles protected as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with the arena, the cryptoporticus and the baths. Its ruins give a sense of the scale of the Roman city that once stood here.

♦ Church and Cloister of St. Trophime

This former cathedral is a major work of Romanesque architecture. The carved Last Judgment over its portal and the sculpted columns of the cloister beside it are among the finest examples of Romanesque sculpture, and the cloister is a quiet break from the summer heat of the streets.

♦ In the Footsteps of Van Gogh

Van Gogh painted some of his best-known works during his 15 months in Arles, including The Bedroom and L'Arlesienne. The courtyard of the city's Old Hospital is now the Espace Van Gogh, a center devoted to his work. The Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles is one of the city's cultural foundations.

♦ Alyscamps and the Baths of Constantine

The Alyscamps, a Roman necropolis lined with ancient tombs, is one of the most atmospheric walks in the city. The substantial remains of the baths built under Emperor Constantine round out the city's Roman heritage.

♦ Museum of Ancient Arles and Provence

This museum holds one of the finest collections of Roman sarcophagi outside Rome. It is the best place to see the objects that once filled the city's Roman monuments, and a good indoor choice on a hot or rainy afternoon.
