Question about Le Havre, please

[CruisinGerman]

Fellow experienced cruisers:

 

Would someone be so kind as to tell me which Parisian airport, Orly or Charles de Gaulles, is closer to, and/or easier to get to from, the Le Havre cruise port.

 

Will the Celebrity tour desk (as they gladly do on Silversea, Seabourn or Crystal) arrange a private car to take us there, or is this something we should worry about on our own?

 

Many thanks,

 

Gunther and Uta

Do not know about Orly, but Charles de Gaul has a direct rail connection which might be worth a look depending on what your actual schedule needs are.

 

It appears to take a little over three hours from the SNCF station in Le Harve to the terminals at CDG; given traffic in the Ile de France and Metropolitan Paris, that might be a faster way to go.

Hi, Gunther - The tour desk might only be able to tell you about regular transfers via bus, but the Concierge should be able to arrange a car and driver for you. You may want to check with him/her as soon as you board to make sure it's arranged.

I may be easier to book a car and driver online, rather than depend on the concierge. Some are very good, and some lack the personal attention. Just an FYI from past experience.
