Private Paris Tour from Le Havre

A full-day private journey from your cruise pier to the heart of the French capital


This private Paris shore excursion from Le Havre takes you directly from your cruise pier to the most celebrated landmarks of the French capital, all within a single, carefully paced day. Your guide picks you up at the port and returns you in time for your ship departure.

The itinerary covers the Champs-Elysées, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and several of the city's most storied squares and monuments. Because the group is entirely private, the pace and priorities can be adjusted to suit your party.

A Louvre visit of approximately two hours is included, designed to focus on the museum's most significant collections without overwhelming first-time visitors. Notre Dame Cathedral, the Pantheon, and the Luxembourg Palace are also featured as part of the afternoon route.

Guests who book well in advance may access the summit of the Eiffel Tower, with tickets covered for the full party. This option requires a minimum booking lead time of five months and is subject to availability.
