Ambassador Cruise Line Fam Trip in Honfleur & Normandy

03/09/2026 | by Jerome Radanovic

On August 29, we welcomed Ambassador Cruise Line, one of our most regular cruise callers, and 30 travel agents for a fam trip to experience the destination first-hand. Straight from the cruise terminal, our guests took the wheel of iconic French 2CV and headed into the Pays d’Auge countryside, with plenty of laughter along the way ! The journey included a stop at a local farm to taste some of Normandy’s finest produce (cheeses, apple juice and local cider), before returning to Honfleur Terre d’Estuaire for a guided tour of the historic town and its iconic Ste-Catherine’s Church, the largest wooden church in France.

The day came to an elegant close with an aperitif in the gardens of La Ferme Saint Siméon***** - Relais & Châteaux overlooking the Seine Estuary and the ship in the distance. For travel advisors and experience planners, famtrips are about much more than discovering a destination. They are about living the experience themselves, meeting local partners, understanding what makes a shore excursion special and being able to recommend authentic and memorable experiences to their clients with first-hand knowledge. A great way to experience just how much Honfleur can offer during a port call.

Greg Mortimer marks Honfleur’s first maiden call of the 2026 season

Honfleur was delighted to welcome the Greg Mortimer, operated by Aurora Expeditions, marking the destination’s first maiden call of the 2026 cruise season. Recognised worldwide for its expertise in Arctic and Antarctic expedition cruises, Aurora Expeditions is now expanding its presence across Europe, representing a significant milestone in the company’s development strategy. The arrival of Greg Mortimer in Honfleur reflects the growing interest of expedition and boutique cruise operators in authentic European destinations with strong cultural identity and premium visitor experiences. After a previous stop in Saint-Malo, Honfleur was the vessel’s final French port of call on this itinerary before continuing onward to Belgium. This strategic stopover further strengthens Honfleur’s position within Northern European cruise itineraries and underlines the destination’s growing attractiveness among niche and high-value cruise operators. The call of Greg Mortimer also highlights Honfleur’s ability to welcome smaller-scale expedition vessels seeking ports of character, authenticity and close proximity to exceptional cultural and natural heritage. With its preserved historic centre, renowned artistic heritage and privileged location in Normandy, Honfleur continues to consolidate its reputation as a distinctive cruise destination on the European market.
