Gare Maritime du Port de Cannes, (tel: (04) 9298 7000; fax: (04) 9298 7001), the port of Cannes, is close to the Palais des Festivals and La Croisette. Cannes is a major port for cruise liners, with 800 moorings per annum. The port is open daily between 15 and 30 June 0800-1900 and between1 July and 15 September 0800-2000; outside these months, the port is open Monday to Saturday 0800-1800. Tariffs vary according to the size of the boat. At present, the port is not suitable for boats larger than 65m (21ft) but work is underway in the Vieux Port to construct a quay where luxury cruise liners of up to 152m (500ft) will be able to moor. The planned date of completion is early 2001
