The programme

Keep breakfast light on this tour - lunch and some very special cheese tastings await you, which will really wake up your taste buds! The word of the day: “Cheeeeeese!” We're not taking a photo - we're getting ready to step into the magical world of cheese!

We'll set off by bus from Le Havre and head to Livarot, a tasty little village in Normandy that's famous for its cheese. And this is where your gastronomic adventure begins: you'll take a tour of a cheese factory and discover all the secrets of cheese production. At the end of the tour, you'll be able to taste its specialties: so delicious you won't believe it!

Then, you'll move on to Pont l'Evêque, another hidden gem nestled among wild landscapes and shaped by the winds of Normandy. The views will leave you speechless - here, the vivid colors of the countryside look like they're straight out of a painting. At lunch time, we'll stop off at a typical restaurant where you can taste tradition Norman dishes.
A stroll after lunch is just the ticket: explore the medieval town, a real gem where you can take a thousand photos and discover the history of Normandy.

Last stop, last tasting: the Calvados Experience Museum, home of apple cider. Step inside the museum: here, everything is made with apples...and honey! From brandy to aquavit, and from cider to spirits: welcome to the last tasting of the day, which is both unusual and delicious. Which liquor will be your favorite?
Luckily, there's a bus that will take you back to the ship, so take advantage of this time to admire the Normandy landscapes once again, or to take a snooze after a memorable gastronomic adventure.
