The ibis Centre is the practical middle. It sits between the Perret centre and the station, with a pasta and pizza restaurant open every day and a fitness room, per Seine-Maritime.
Rooms take up to five, which helps a family.
The listing says nothing about breakfast, check-in or pets — ask all three before you book.
Book it if
- You’re coming off the train with bags
- You need a room for five

Look elsewhere if

Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what ibis Centre publishes and our own map estimates.
A pasta and pizza restaurant, open daily for lunch and dinner, per Seine-Maritime.
No ride to the ship is listed. The terminal is about 1.3 km in a straight line by our pins, and the station about 600 m. The road route round the docks is longer than that line, and the tourist office puts the terminal 2.5 km from the centre, so take a taxi with bags. No official fare is published; an unofficial report puts the terminal-to-centre taxi at about €8.
The listing we could read doesn’t mention breakfast. Check your rate.
The cruise terminal is about 1.3 km away in a straight line, so it’s a ride, not a walk. Your boarding documents set the check-in time, not the hotel.
Seine-Maritime lists underground parking with no price, and nothing for a cruise.

Getting here, and on to the ship
By our map estimate ibis Centre is about 184.3 km from Charles de Gaulle in a straight line, and about 1.3 km from the cruise terminal. Every question mark below is a ride you book yourself.
No airport transfer is listed. From Charles de Gaulle it’s the train: SNCF’s fastest is 4h28 with a change at Massy TGV, or the RER B into Paris and 2h00 from Saint-Lazare.
No ride to the ship is listed. The terminal is about 1.3 km in a straight line by our pins, and the station about 600 m. The road route round the docks is longer than that line, and the tourist office puts the terminal 2.5 km from the centre, so take a taxi with bags. No official fare is published; an unofficial report puts the terminal-to-centre taxi at about €8.
From CDG without a hotel shuttle
There’s no direct train from Charles de Gaulle. SNCF Connect’s fastest CDG–Le Havre trip takes 4h28 with a change at Massy TGV, and the average is 5h39. The other way is the RER B into Paris, €14 and 25 to 30 minutes to Gare du Nord per Île-de-France Mobilités, then across to Saint-Lazare for a train that takes 2h00 at its fastest. The airport page has the fares and the landing check.
Seine-Maritime lists underground parking with no price, and nothing for a cruise.
Parking for your stay: Underground parking, no price (Seine-Maritime).
No ride to the ship is listed. The terminal is about 1.3 km in a straight line by our pins, and the station about 600 m.

Flying in the morning you sail? From the US that’s risky here, with the airport about five hours from the ship by train; the airport page has the landing check.
Which quay
the cruise terminalShips turn around at the cruise terminal on the Pointe de Floride, Quai Roger Meunier, per the tourist office. ibis Centre is about 1.3 km from our pin for it in a straight line, and about 500 m from Le Havre station. The road route is longer: the tourist office puts the terminal 2.5 km from the centre and the station. Which of the new terminal buildings your ship uses isn’t published ahead; the Le Havre cruise guide has the rest.
