French Atlantic Ports at Seatrade Cruise Global 2026
A collective vision driving the cruise industry of tomorrow

Miami, April 2026 - At the Seatrade Cruise Global 2026, the world's premier cruise industry event, French Atlantic Ports will showcase the strategic strengths of France's Atlantic coast destinations to the cruise industry. Le Havre, Honfleur, Caen-Ouistreham, Cherbourg, Brest and Bordeaux will come together in Miami to highlight their infrastructures, projects, and the richness of their regions, while strengthening their collective visibility and fostering new collaboration opportunities with ship operators.

In a highly competitive international market, French Atlantic Ports adopts a coordinated approach to Atlantic coast port calls. The network leverages the complementary strengths of its ports, the diversity of destinations, and the quality of its facilities to offer cruise lines seamless itineraries and passengers with unique experiences rich in culture, heritage, and local discovery.

In a particularly dynamic context, member ports are pursuing major investments: modernizing and expanding terminals, increasing capacity, developing new port calls and homeport operations, and rolling out sustainable solutions. These projects strengthen the Atlantic coast's capacity to support sector growth and meet the evolving expectations of both cruise lines and passengers.

At Seatrade, French Atlantic Ports aim to deepen discussions with cruise lines to design even more attractive itineraries, optimize port operations, and implement sustainable solutions aligned with the needs of the modern cruise industry.
