Giverny

What to expect

Monet's gardens, a common first stop on the Seine.

Distance from port

60 km

Approximate straight-line distance from the mapped Port de Grenelle reference point to the Monet house and gardens. Not a road or walking distance. Paris river berths vary; check your cruise boarding documents and allow for the actual route.

Cost

Low

Monet house and gardens adult admission EUR 13; children 7–17 EUR 7 and under 7 free. Travel from Paris is extra and can exceed admission. Seasonal opening runs April 1–November 1 in 2026.

Tourist-trap risk

Low

Editorial assessment: The preserved house and gardens reward an interest in Monet and gardening; compare transport packages with direct admission.

Physical effort

Moderate

Allow 1.5–2 hours on site plus the journey from Paris. Stay on visitor paths around the water garden, allow for queues and verify the return connection before leaving the ship.

Accessibility

Partly accessible

The operator states the gardens are accessible to people with reduced mobility, but the house is not wheelchair accessible. Priority access is through the Sente Leroy group entrance with qualifying proof.

Distance is approximate and measured from the cruise port, not the airport. Cost and tourist-trap risk are editorial assessments. Accessibility depends on the route, transport and facilities described in the notes. Not assessed means details have not yet been verified.
