Following the climax of one of sport’s greatest team competitions in September, with Team U.S.A. being Team Europe in golf’s Ryder Cup, the dates for the next contest in 2018 have been announced and guests on cruise ships visiting the Port of Rouen can get right up close to the action.
The 42nd Ryder Cup will be contested over L’Albatros Course at Le Golf National in Paris, from 25th to 30th September 2018 with Rouen being the closest cruise port to the city. The competition will be over the final three days from Friday-Sunday, with practice days providing and excellent way of watching the sport’s stars compete at very close range.
Situated to the west side of Paris just south of Versailles, the course is about 75 miles from Rouen and given its location along the River Seine, Rouen is perfect for overnight cruise stopovers. Rouen also offers a range of alternative attractions for “golf-widows and widowers”.
As the home of the Impressionist Art movement and much of Monet’s work, the site of Joan of Arc’s trial, crucifixion and subsequent pardon, not to mention the excellent shopping opportunities, late September 2018 is the perfect time for ships of up to 240m to visit Rouen.
