We organize both private half day and full day trips & shore excursions from Rouen Cruise Port to all major Normandy landmarks including the D-DAY landing beaches and sites, Claude Monet's Giverny House & Gardens. Our private tours also include Paris & Versailles as shore excursions from Rouen Port of Call.
Rouen is the Capital of Haute Normandie, located between Paris and the English Channel. The town is very attractive as it boasts a large number of attractions and monuments. The Notre Dame Cathedral is without a doubt one of the most impressive in France. Its nave with eleven bays covered with a superb six-part vault and the lantern tower endow the edifice with a stunning sense of proportion.
Other not to miss attractions include the Old Rouen, historical city centre, the Gros-Horloge, square where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, St Maclou and Saint-Ouen churches, Rouen Cathedral and if time permits try and visit the Rouen museum of Fine Art. We organise private guided walking tours in the town of Rouen with local certified guides that will reveal all the History and Architectural highlights of the town only for your small group.
Our half day or full day private day trips & shore excursions departing from Rouen are all conducted by expert local tour guides that speak impeccable English. Your guide will meet you at your ship and will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you. Then board your premium vehicle and begin to make your way on this private day tour.
Visit the D-DAY normandy landing beaches with one of our expert guides. On June 6, 1944, the allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches, marking the beginning of a fierce and deadly battle that would culminate in the liberation of France a few months later. Visit the most important sites with your own personal guide.
Discover one of the most emblematic sites of Normandy, Giverny. The village is one of the most famous in France as it features Monet’s house, one of the most well known 19th century impressionist painters of France. Upon arrival, skip the line as you are taken by your guide to the entrance where your visit of Claude Monet's House and Gardens in Giverny will begin. First visit the house, then make your way outside to visit the different gardens. Make sure to not miss the water lilies.
From Rouen we also organise private tours to Paris & Versailles Palace. Since these small group shore excursions are private, it is possible for us to customize your tour and adapt it to your wishes. For Paris, we can organize a panoramic tour to point out the highlights the French Capital has to offer. Other great sites to visit include the Eiffel tower, the Concorde, Arc de Triomphe, the Marais and Montmartre districts and so much more.
For Versailles Palace we usually include a private guided tour of the Palace. Your ticket will also include the Gardens so as to make the most out of your visit. During the day, your guide will be able to make suggestions if you are looking for a nice place to have lunch. Pick up and return will be directly at ship.
