Most cruisers visiting Le Havre spend their port day in one of two ways: they book the ship's overpriced excursion, or spend the first hour figuring out trains and taxis. This shuttle is the third option. Étretat is 45 minutes from the cruise terminal. The chalk cliffs — the arches, the needle, the views that Monet painted and Maupassant wrote about — are among northern France's most spectacular natural sights. The village below is exactly the kind of small, unhurried Norman town most ship excursions never have time for. Here's how it works: your driver meets you at the terminal at 10:30 AM with a name sign. He drives you to Étretat, points out the cliff path and pickup spot, and gives you his number. Explore at your own pace — no guide unless you want one. Walk as far as you like. Eat when you feel like it. Take the photographs you actually want. At 3:00 PM, your driver is waiting at the same spot. Forty-five minutes back to the terminal. Done. One booking. Two cliffs. Zero stress.

Honfleur is 30 minutes from Le Havre across the Pont de Normandie — one of the great suspension bridges of Europe and a dramatic start to the morning. The ship's excursion will get you there. So will a taxi, eventually. This shuttle gets you there directly, drops you steps from the Vieux Bassin, and picks you up at the same spot when you're ready — for a fraction of the price of the ship's version. Here is the schedule: your driver meets you at the cruise terminal at 9:15 AM. You cross the bridge — stop for a photograph, the view is worth it — and arrive at the old harbour by 9:45. From there, the day is entirely yours. Wander the quayside lined with the tall slate-fronted houses that have defined this skyline for four centuries. Climb to the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Grâce above the town for panoramic views across the Seine estuary. At 1:00 PM your driver is back at the Vieux Bassin. Thirty minutes to the terminal. Your ship hasn't moved.
