Most Popular Private Shore Excursions from Le Havre
D-Day Beaches
For American and other international passengers, a private D-Day itinerary is one of the most requested experiences from Le Havre. Because of the distance between Le Havre and the American D-Day sector, the itinerary must focus on a realistic number of significant sites. Typical priorities may include Omaha Beach, Normandy American Cemetery and selected additional D-Day locations depending on available time. A licensed professional D-Day guide can also be arranged on request.
Honfleur & Étretat
Honfleur and Étretat make an excellent combination for passengers looking for scenery, architecture and Normandy coastal charm. Honfleur is known for its picturesque historic harbour. Étretat is famous for its dramatic cliffs and natural arches overlooking the English Channel. This itinerary involves less long-distance driving than the American D-Day beaches and therefore provides more time for relaxed exploration.
Mont Saint-Michel
A private journey from Le Havre to Mont Saint-Michel can be considered for cruise calls with sufficient time in port. Because of the driving distance, this itinerary must be planned very carefully around the ship schedule. We will advise honestly if the available port time is not suitable.
Normandy Countryside
A slower-paced itinerary can incorporate Honfleur, Deauville and traditional Normandy countryside. This is particularly appealing to repeat visitors who have already seen Paris or the D-Day beaches.
