Last year, Le Havre hosted four cruise ships simultaneously (Astor, Empress, MSC Magnifica and Celebrity Infinity) on September 19, 2013 bringing 9,408 passengers and crew to the city.

With another ‘quadruple’ day of visiting ships scheduled for next week, ‘we wonder if today’s record will be beaten on September 16?’ remarked Valerie Conan, cruise director of Le Havre’s Tourist Office.
