Draw-me a cruise ship

Thursday, April 17, 2014 - 16:37 by le-havre

The Le Havre Cruise Club organised a drawing competition for the primary classes of the Le Havre conurbation. The theme was “draw-me a cruise ship”. The five winning classes (134 pupils+ 15 accompanying adults) were invited at the Cruise Terminal last Tuesday. They visited the collections of the maritime museum adjacent to the cruise terminal and afterwards they carefully listened to the Cruise Club’s President, Agnès Firmin Le Bodo who announced the awards. The announcement was followed by sweet treats. Prizes are: visit of a cruise ship for the winning class. Second prize: visit of the harbour aboard a sailing ship ; third: visit of Le Havre by scenic train. The goal of this operation was to give a taste of cruising to the young generation and to their parents through them.

Le Havre

Le Havre’s port was established in 1517 by King Francis 1st. Today, it's accessible 24/24, 7 days a week and has the capacity to host any size of cruise ship. The port has 3 dedicated cruise berths and can accommodate up to 4 cruise ships simultaneously depending on size. Le Havre benefits from regular calls throughout the year, transit as well as turnaround calls from a broad range of cruise lines: contemporary, premium and luxury. It’s also a convenient repositioning port to Northern Europe and the Baltic during spring and the Mediterranean and Caribbean in Autumn. With the extension of the cruises season, Le Havre is also a safe shelter port in case of bad weather conditions.
