Rouen Question

[Diane Rose]

I am considering booking the Azamara Journey itinerary that ends in Rouen.

 

Can anyone tell me how long the ship will take to get to Rouen from the mouth of the river? Is the scenery along this worthwhile seeing?

I don't know the answer yet, but I will know (at least as regards the time aspect) by the end of next week! - we've going there on Fred Olsen's Black Watch from Southampton. She's a much older ship than the Azamara duo, but is about the same size, at least in tonnage.

Thanks Tom,

I look forward to hearing back from you. I tried searching for this info, but no luck. Thank you.

I checked out google street-view. The Seine meanders a lot & the surroundings are pretty flat & rural. Interesting rather than scenic.

But under two excellent bridges close to the estuary. Pont de Tankerville (I remember when it was built, & it had a wow factor). Then, built in the last 10 -15 years, the Pont de Normandie, which has eclipsed it.

Been over both many times, never been under.

Thanks JB - I will also be on the Amazara cruise with Diane and am looking forward to coming up the river into Rouen.
