A ship's tour to Bayeux was excellent. Interesting countryside, beautiful Cathedral, and the highlight is the Bayeux Tapestry. Read Less

As it was Sunday much of the area was closed. Read Less

Could walk straight off the ship straight into the town. Unfortunately, our stop there was on a Sunday so most shops were shut but bars and cafes open. Nice gardens in walking distance, tourist desk very helpful at port. Read Less

British Landing Beaches: Excellent. Afternoon trip to Normandy Villages: Average Read Less

Did an excursion to Omaha beech and St Mere Eglise. £60. Good trip and worth it but no food/drink included. Good tour guide. Read Less

Not much to do in Cherbourg. We arrived on a Sunday and most of the shops were closed. Read Less

Despite being a Sunday there was a event in the harbour with a tall ship in, we had a pleasant half day ashore Read Less

Small typical French town, otherwise unmemorable Read Less

We took the Staire Valley tour which included a trip to Bafleur where William the Conqueror left for the Battle of Hastings. We are Normandy fans and loved every minute of the trip. Read Less

We booked a private tour of Normandy area. Van with 6 others. Excellent tour Read Less

My rating is for the town of Cherbourg which was very nice, but a little bit of a hike from the ship. We took a HAL excursion to Val de Saire in the afternoon. Biggest waste of money ever! Not enough time at our two fishing village stops to really see or do anything. Spend most of the excursion time riding on the bus. Read Less

This was the alternative to Amsterdam. The Ship managed to Dock even though the wind was still gusting. Not a great choice but it was short notice and PO Did organise free shuttle Bus. Read Less

Nice place to go for a walk. The Cite de la Mar is good fun. Read Less

Nice place to take walk Read Less

Arranged private tour to D-Day Beaches and Bayeux Tapestries and enjoyed the whole day. Read Less

A really nice French Port Town. Visit Parc de Liais if you can (10 minute walk from the ship, just passed Napoleon's statue then left). It is really lovely. Very modern shopping mall with a huge Carrefour at the end of it; a great town square and a proper French feel to the place Read Less

Wonderful tour. Read Less

We hired a private guide to take us to Mont St. Michel for the day. We got off the ship before the tour busses loaded and were coming down from the church at the top of Mont St. Michel when the crowds were arriving. Beautiful site. A ways from the port but we had enough time. Read Less

Took the Mt St Michel tour. Coach seating was very cramped. Tour guide was not very personal and had an attitude problem when guests approached him. Read Less

We booked a private tour of the Normandy beaches. Highly recommend this tour. Read Less

Nice enough, with a short walk to town or the hypermarket Read Less

Did an independent tour of Normandy Beaches that was outstanding. Guide was passionate and very knowledgeable. He has dual citizenship with France and USA. Took us to his mother's home for lunch. Read Less

Visited Mont St. Michael; very impressive construction and good guide. Read Less

this town is a sleeping with a port for ferries to the UK. As we decided not to travel away and made reservations with a local restaurant listed in the Gault Millau Guide: Le Vauban. A restaurant run by a married couple and it was a delight! Special 3 course lunch, half a bottle of Chablis, coffees & chocolates and an aperitive with little snacks for € 70 per person. We dined happily along the locals in a full restaurant. The port offers a bus shuttle to take passengers to a nearby shopping mall (again not fully used) and from there you can cross a little river via bridge and walk into town or take an other little train around the place. We walked to the city centre within 15 minutes. Some very typical French shops offering local fruit & veg, wines, cheese, breads, ready to take away for a little picnic. Read Less

Long hot bus ride. Short time to wander on one's own at the memorial garden. Another bus ride to museum and left to wander on one's own there, followed by a long hot bus ride to the ship. The best part of this short excursion was the banquette sandwich and the orange fanta soda my husband and I bought for ourselves at a local restaurant and ate looking out over Omaha Beach. Read Less
