denny1700 Posted May 28 #1 Share Posted May 28 Is there a cargo line from an East Coast port such as Boston) to Honfleur or Le Havre, one that space for a limited number of passengers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted June 1 #2 Share Posted June 1 There has been very limited restart of freighter passenger service after the pandemic, and the major line involved, CMA CGM, has permanently suspended passenger service. The only routes I know of now, are some around Europe on small ships, and Aranui to French Polynesia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny1700 Posted June 16 Author #3 Share Posted June 16 Thank you chengkp75. Honfleur, though, is a major port on the Normandy coast, not as big as Le Havre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we visited it was mostly pleasure vessels and some fishing boats that used the harbour. It has a small lock at the entrance, so commercial cargo vessels, unless they are very small, cannot access this port. If they started accepting pax again, you would have to consider Le Havre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is "pax"? I was going to go on a cross-Atlantic cruise from Miami to Honfleur about two years on the French cruise line Ponant but decided to wait, as I had been on another cruise only about five months earlier. Yes, I should consider the alternative, Le Havre as destination port from a port on the Eastern seabord of North America, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mary229 Posted June 25 #7 Share Posted June 25 Maybe start your research with the port authority to see who docks there https://www.portsducalvados.fr/en/ports/honfleur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny1700 Posted June 28 Author #8 Share Posted June 28 There is also this site: https://www.vesselfinder.com/ports/FRHON001 But I still don't see any way to find out which (passenger) cruise ships cross the Atlantic to either Honfleur or Le Havre. A repositioning cruise would be great, too. Honfleur is not on a train route to Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, there are almost zero cargo ships carrying passengers since Covid, regardless of port. I don't think there are any that are carrying passengers on the trans-Atlantic route. I mentioned the small ships in Europe, as there are some that do very local routes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
