Overview

The authentic heart of Normandy in one private full day from your cruis eterminal — a journey through the Pays d'Auge that most cruise passengers never discover. A traditional Camembert and Livarot cheese factory, where artisans hand-turn the wheels as they have for centuries. Beuvron-en-Auge, one of France's most beautiful half-timbered villages. A private Calvados distillery with a guided tasting of cider, Pommeau and aged Calvados — included in your tour price. And Honfleur's medieval harbor to close the day.

Your private vehicle travels exclusively for your group, with pickup from your cruise terminal and your return before the all-aboard time guaranteed.

What to expect

  1. Livarot
    1h
    Step inside a working Norman cheese dairy and discover how Camembert, Livarot and Pont-l'Évêque have been made by hand in the Pays d'Auge for centuries. Watch the artisans at work, walk through the aging caves where the wheels mature in cool darkness, and finish with a guided tasting of Normandy's most celebrated cheeses. An authentic experience most cruise passengers never discover.
  2. Beuvron-en-Auge
    1h
    One of the most beautiful villages in all of France — a perfectly preserved cluster of half-timbered Norman houses surrounding a flower-filled central square, unchanged since the 16th century. Stroll the cobblestone streets, browse the artisan boutiques and apple cider shops, and photograph the most iconic Norman architecture in the Pays d'Auge. A living postcard of rural Normandy.
  3. Honfleur
    1h
    A private visit to a working Norman apple farm on the legendary Route des Cidres — included in your tour price. Walk the orchard rows, visit the press room where apples are transformed into sparkling cider, and descend into the aging cellars where Calvados matures in oak barrels for years. Your guide leads a tasting of sparkling cider, Pommeau de Normandie and aged Calvados. The most distinctive stop of any Normandy shore excursion from Le Havre.
  4. Honfleur
    2h
    At the end of a truly authentic Normandy day, your driver will be waiting at the agreed meeting point to bring you back to Le Havre cruise terminal comfortably and on time. With over 15 years of experience organizing shore excursions for cruise passengers, we monitor your ship's schedule throughout the day and guarantee your return before the all-aboard time — with over 120 minutes of margin built into every departure.
