Le Havre’s cruise terminals marked an operational milestone on April 16 with the first dual call at Le Havre Verrazzano Cruise Terminal, according to an announcement.

The Majestic Princessmade her inaugural call to Le Havre during a simultaneous operation alongside Nieuw Statendam from Holland America Line.

“This inaugural call of the Majestic Princess, during a dual operation at our new cruise terminals, marks an important milestone for Le Havre,” said Alexandra Ruiz, managing director at Le Havre Croisières.

“It reflects the strong confidence of international cruise lines and the step-change in scale of our infrastructure, now fully operational.”

The vessel is one of seven new vessels scheduled to call at Le Havre in 2026.

A traditional plaque exchange ceremony was held onboard, bringing together key institutional and port stakeholders.

Caroline Leclercq, deputy mayor of Le Havre in charge of culture and international relations, Nicolas Chervy, harbor master representing HAROPA PORT, Laëtitia Ziane, coordinator for Seamen’s Club, and Cécilia Hesseron for Le Havre Croisières were welcomed on board by Captain Giuseppe Castellano and his crew.

Having repositioned from Fort Lauderdale and now deployed on Northern Europe itineraries, the Majestic Princess begins a busy season in Le Havre with 13 scheduled calls through September.

The vessel had more than 3,300 passengers aboard on the inaugural visit, the majority from the United States, alongside approximately 1,300 crew members.
