Rouen and Paris have always been connected — by the Seine, by history, by the flow of people and ideas between Normandy's capital and France's. Today the drive takes just over an hour. This private tour picks you up at the Rouen cruise terminal or your hotel and takes you to Paris for the day. The Eiffel Tower. Notre-Dame, newly restored and more beautiful than before. The Louvre's glass pyramid. The Champs-Élysées stretching toward the Arc de Triomphe. Of all the ports in Normandy, Rouen gives you the shortest road to Paris. This tour makes the most of that advantage — more time in the city, less time in the car, and a guaranteed return to the terminal before your ship departs. Your driver handles the route, the parking, and the pace. You handle the priorities. No group, no fixed schedule, no compromises.

Step ashore at Cherbourg and trace the pivotal D-Day story on a 7-hour Private Shore Tour with a local professional guide.

Pause in Sainte-Mère-Église for lunch (own expense), see the church’s paratrooper windows, and browse the Airborne Museum gift shop.

Versailles is three hours from Le Havre. That is a long drive for a shore day — and it is worth it. The Palace of Versailles is not just a building. It is the physical expression of absolute power: 700 rooms, 2,000 acres of formal gardens, a Hall of Mirrors that runs for 73 metres and still stops people in their tracks. Louis XIV built it to remind everyone — guests, courtiers, ambassadors, rivals — exactly who was in charge. This private tour picks you up at the Le Havre cruise terminal and takes you directly to Versailles, giving you five full hours to explore at your own pace. No group, no guide with a flag, no schedule that isn't yours. Your driver returns you to Le Havre in time for our ship — guaranteed. Important: The Palace is closed on Mondays. The gardens remain open. If your ship is in port on a Monday, the gardens alone are still an extraordinary half-day — but check the date before booking.

There is nowhere else in the world quite like Mont-Saint-Michel. A medieval abbey rising from a tidal island, surrounded by the largest tidal bay in Europe, connected to the mainland by a causeway that disappears beneath the sea. From Le Havre, it is two and a half hours south — and worth every minute of the drive. Your driver picks you up directly at the cruise terminal and takes you there in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. No group bus, no shared schedule, no strangers. When you arrive, the island is yours to explore at your own pace. Wander the medieval lanes that wind up toward the abbey. Climb the ramparts for views across the bay. Watch the tide move — faster than a horse can gallop, locals say — as it transforms the landscape around you. Want expert commentary throughout the day? Upgrade with a licensed guide who brings the history of the Mount to life from the moment you arrive.

Honfleur and Paris share more than a country. The Impressionist painters who made Honfleur famous spent their careers moving between this harbour and the galleries and boulevards of the capital.

No group bus. No shared schedule. No strangers. Your private vehicle, your driver, and a day in one of the great cities of the world shaped entirely around what you want to see. Your driver knows Paris well — the best viewpoints, the quieter approaches, the timing that avoids the worst of the crowds. That local knowledge turns a good day into a great one. Want expert context alongside the sights? Upgrade with a licensed Paris guide who meets you in the city and brings every monument to life. Your return to ship is fully guaranteed.

Two of Normandy's most beautiful places — one wild and dramatic, the other intimate and artistic — combined in a private day from Le Havre, with a glass of Norman cider in between. First, Etretat.

Spend an afternoon at the American landing beaches with our WWII expert. Rodolphe Rutman, who will accompany you, brings to life the events of the battle of Normandy, using his knowledge of the subject acquired over more than 30 years of private research. He has been connected to the events of June 6 1944, since the 50th anniversary of D-Day, in 1994. That year, he assisted a group of 41 American veteran paratroopers who came to perform a commemorative jump near Sainte-mère-église. Afterwards, Rodolphe became a filmmaker specialising in history. He has directed 4 TV documentary films about D-Day which were broadcast internationally. This enabled him to interview more than 200 people who witnessed the events of summer 1944, including 13 American veterans who landed on Omaha Beach. Today, he lives in Normandy and likes to share his passion for this subject by leading visits to memorial sites. So be ready for an immersive and unforgettable exploration of the 1944 Battle of Normandy.
