Rouen

Rouen, the capital of Normandy and a UNESCO-designated gastronomic city, is the closest cruise port to Paris, 90 minutes by road. It accommodates small-to-medium ocean ships (up to 250 m, 8.5 m draught, and 48.5 m air-draft ). • A single port fee covers calls at Rouen, Honfleur, and along the Seine Valley, simplifying contracts and helping operators control costs across multiple stops. • From the quayside, passengers step into 2,000 years of history. The compact city center offers lively streets, shopping, local cuisine, art, and cultural attractions. • Day trips to Paris, Giverny, or Versailles are easy to integrate into itineraries, providing a variety of experiences for guests. • Rouen is advancing sustainable cruise operations and is prepared for shore-power connections once operational. • Offering a “Paris plus Normandy” call, Rouen is practical for river, boutique, and premium ocean cruises, delivering operational efficiency, guest satisfaction, and memorable experiences.
