I want to inquire about the passengers. I'm looking for a trip for about 20 17-18 year olds and 2 adult advisors, and no extra individual or solo travelers. Can we take this trip only for our group? And are there any price discounts or deals since we are traveling as a school?

This would be a cruise, which will not be the best option for such a large group. Were you looking for a trip specifically in the South of France? May I ask what the groups per person budget would be?

Is it best to fly to Marseille, Montpelier or elsewhere nearby and which is the best way to get to Arles from any of these places?

The closest airports to Arles are Nimes (FNI) Airport and Marseille (MRS). From there you can grab the Train TGV to get to Arles which will usually take from 40 minutes to an hour.
