Port information

Rouen

Rouen is the Capital of Normandy and the well-preserved medieval city is the closest port to Paris (135 km). Rouen, the Seine Valley and Honfleur all belong to the HAROPA - Rouen Port Authority, so your vessel gets charged only once when you call on the two destinations.

We accept ships of 240 meters long at our dedicated 24h two berth cruise terminal. Most calls are overnighters, so passengers have more time to go ashore and choose multiple excursions. The most popular excursion are Rouen, Paris, Versailles and Giverny. Being a bite sized city we see ourselves as an exclusive boutique destination, and overcrowding is not a problem due to ship traffic and an influx of thousands of passengers at the same time. It truly makes for a pleasant experience for both cruise lines, passengers and locals alike.

We aim to work closely with all actors involved in the cruise industry to make the destination a truly unforgettable experience for passengers and a successful call to cruise companies.
