CRUISE SHORE EXCURSIONS

When your cruise ship docks in Brittany or Normandy, you have a precious window to experience France's most captivating regions. Don't waste it on crowded bus tours with rigid schedules. With Bellidays, you get a private, flexible shore excursion designed around your interests, your pace, and your ship's schedule.
As your certified local guide with 17+ years of experience, I ensure you're back at the ship with time to spare—stress-free, enriched, and having made the most of every precious port hour. From Mont Saint-Michel to D-Day beaches, from medieval towns to gastronomic experiences, I bring Western France to life.
