Ship tip

Not as many options for younger people (18-35). If your port requires a tender, plan on getting to the meeting point 30 minutes to an hour before you want to get off, as it takes forever on a ship this size.

Ports of call

Le Havre (Paris), France

4 out of 5

Very far from Paris, not worth it to try to do Paris in a day. I’d recommend spending the afternoon in the lovely town of Honfleur near the cruise port, or seeing the beaches of Normandy (still quite a drive from the port)

Enjoyed renting motorbikes and exploring the beautiful countryside and the town. Be prepared to tinder to shore - long lines getting on/off the ship.
