In 2005, the fact that two river cruise ships followed the impressionist itinerary on the Seine river marked an important step in the river cruise activity of Le Havre. In 2007, a third ship will call on a regular basis at Le Havre.
The cruise department of the Tourist Office of Le Havre is your partner since we help you put the "Tourism and Shopping" guide at your passengers' disposal on board.
