Kinex22 0 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 We are cruising with P&O and one of the ports will be Le Harve. Is the port nice enough to have a walk around independently straight from the cruise ship? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jenjen 232 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 You don't say when you are going, if the weather nice turning left out side the port gates you can walk to a lovely beach, but it is quite a walk into the town, you would turn right from the port gate, the bus does two stops one to the town second stop is about let shopping mall, I have not done this stop, but been on the bus for the pick up. In cold weather not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kinex22 0 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm going at the beginning of October so the bus into town sounds like a good option. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruise chef 865 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Everything tends to be on the opposite side of the harbour from where the ships dock so the bus is a good option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iknowlescourier 207 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Head for the tall concrete tower. That is a church. Doesn't look that impressive from the outside, but inside is different story. Amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sinbad10 753 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Not one of the best ports of call we always stay on the ship when we have called there and had a relaxing day. If you must get off the ship think best option is an excursion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellyohara 30 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 We stayed on the ship when we went as heard it wasnt great but another couple we know decided to get off and go to a shopping centre which they said was ok for a walk around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there is a shopping centre but nothing special we went there on our first visit to Le Havre and been numerous time since and that is why we stay onboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smtcan 274 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 We have rented a car in Le Havre and driven to Honfleur and some of the seaside resorts. On one cruise we had an overnight stay and we spent a long day driving around the Normandy Beaches. A single day would be a bit tight for that though. We found the car hire right on the dock, although we did pre book online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kinex22 0 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thank you everyone for your help and advice. We have decided to book an excursion to Honfleur after weighing up all the options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
