High-end river cruising also played an important role, with more premium and luxury ships using Rouen as a key stop on itineraries linking Paris and Normandy.<\/p>\n\n
The positive trend continued into 2026, with 16 ocean calls and 1,095 river cruises already on the books, helped by new vessels entering service on the Seine river.<\/p>\n
Rouen worked closely with a solid base of repeat clients, including Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, Silversea Cruises, Windstar Cruises, and Azamara Cruises, and marked the inaugural call of Seabourn Cruise Line’s Sojourn, which further strengthened its position with higher-end brands.<\/p>\n
Market segmentation in 2025 showed a clear shift compared with the pre\u2011pandemic years. Expedition calls rose to 6%, a noticeable increase for a segment that was almost absent before 2022, reflecting growing interest from smaller, exploration\u2011focused ships. <\/p>\n
The premium segment reached 56% of traffic, roughly double its long\u2011term average, underlining strong demand for more content\u2011rich, experience\u2011driven itineraries. <\/p>\n\n
Luxury cruises accounted for 33%, close to twice their historic share, and helped position Rouen firmly on the map for high\u2011spend international guests.<\/p>\n
Overall, 2025 marked a decisive move towards premium, luxury and high\u2011end river calls, while contemporary cruises continued to retreat, confirming Rouen\u2019s appeal for operators targeting more discerning passengers.<\/p>\n
