Detailed itinerary

Join this coastal escape created especially for cruise guests arriving in Le Havre. From the moment you step off the ship, you’ll be guided onto a comfortable coach and whisked away toward two of Normandy’s most photogenic destinations. With scenic drives, charming towns, and sea views along the way, every stop offers something beautiful to take in—and plenty of chances for stunning photos. You’ll return to the ship with time to spare and your camera full of memories.

Deauville greets you with wide boulevards, grand villas, and the gentle shimmer of the sea. Known for its film festival and horse races, this stylish seaside town is pure postcard material. Your panoramic bus tour will showcase the town’s highlights—like Villa Strassburger, the Deauville Hippodrome, and the Casino—before you’re dropped off near the famous “Les Planches” boardwalk. Take a short stroll to the beach, photograph the iconic bathing cabins, or simply soak in the coastal beauty. You’ll also have time to wander and take in the elegant charm of the town at your leisure.

In Honfleur, every corner invites you to pause and admire. From the pastel-colored buildings lining the harbor to the cobblestone lanes and timber-framed shops, this port town is full of visual delight. Your guide will lead you on a walk through the historic streets, including a visit to the unique wooden Church of Saint Catherine. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore, shop for artisanal goods, or snap photos of the picturesque harbor reflections that have inspired painters for centuries.

After your guided walks, you’ll have time to explore on your own. Whether you're capturing the sunlight on the harbor or browsing for local treats, the relaxed pacing lets you enjoy the surroundings.
Please note: Time in each town may be adjusted slightly depending on the weather to make the most of your experience.

This is an ideal tour for travelers who love beautiful places and the chance to photograph them. With plenty of visual highlights and time to enjoy each scene, you’ll leave Normandy with lasting images in both your camera and your mind. You’ll be comfortably returned to your ship with time to spare and stories to share.
