Creator's Key Takeaways

We've seen that a few people say that there isn't much to see in La Hav and it isn't really worth visiting and maybe because we came in with relatively low expectations.

We were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed walking around and it probably helped that it was a nice sunny day.

If you want a bit of a chilled day and spend a couple of hours ashore, definitely come and have a look around La Hav.

Creator's Tips & Advice

You can walk off the ship and explore Le Havre yourself via a 20-minute walk through the port area, potentially saving on shuttle bus costs.
If you want to see Paris, be aware it is about 2.5 hours away, which makes for a very long day.
Consider Honfleur as an alternative if you want a more traditional French town experience.

YouTube Video Description

If your cruise is stopping off in Le Havre, is it worth staying here and wandering around, or should you book an excursion somewhere else? We stopped here on our cruise on MSC Preziosa earlier in the year and decided to walk off to explore for ourselves.
