TOURS FROM PORTS
Normandy Tours From The Cruise Ship
Statistics show that every year approximately 16 million people book around 30.000 cruises covering some 2,000 destinations worldwide. Normandy is among these destinations and its ports, Le Havre, Honfleur or Cherbourg, welcome tourists from early spring until late in the year. If you are one of these cruisers and you are interested in booking a tour then look no further!
VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY
Although most cruises offer group tours, there are a few inconveniences: high prices, long lines getting on and off the bus, a guide for a group of 40+ people, etc. Turn your visit into a meaningful experience and book a private tour with a professional guide-lecturer. You will get the chance to see and learn far more than on a group tour but at a competitive cost!
PICK-UP AT THE CRUISE TERMINAL
Your English-speaking guide-driver will meet you at the cruise terminal. Based on your sailing schedule and, more importantly, depending on your interests, you may opt to follow the trail of the pilgrims and visit Mont Saint Michel or tour the D-DAY beaches in order to see the 'traumatised sands' assaulted on June 6, 1944.
PLEASE NOTE
* All tours that include transport to/from the cruise ship are PRIVATE which means that a price per person does not apply and the cost is a fixed one (up to 9-hour duration; no full-day vs half-day tour formulas).
* If you would like to share a tour/split the cost with one or several other cruisers then you are encouraged to use the boards available at cruisecritic.com.
