Last month, I stayed 3 nights in the city center of Marseille, at a hotel by the Vieux Port. I suppose the dock for the big cruise ships are located west of the Vieux Port, kind of near Majore(sp?) church. It seemed pretty out of city center. There may be a bus line or a shuttle service or you would need to take a taxi. Maybe 10 to 15 min.ride. If you have no luggage and can take your time finding your way, it would be about 30min.walk to the Vieux Port, then 10 min. to St.Charles Station.

the port where most of the cruise ships dock is not really convenient for the metro. best bet is just to hop in a cab - shouldn't be more than a 10 minute ride to St. Charles.

Take a taxi. Walking in the area around the area of the St. Charles station is not to be recommended.
