This museum is housed in the former transatlantic port building, which was one of the largest in France in the 1930s. This is where the Titanic docked for a few hours in Cherbourg on the evening of April 10, l912, before setting off on her maiden voyage to New York via Queenstown. An extensive exhibition, based on many personal stories and equipped with many personal exhibits, brings the time and the hopes, wishes and dreams of the immigrants back to life and makes them “tangible” in the truest sense of the word.

Next, you can visit the first French nuclear submarine. Le Redoutable was decommissioned in 1991 and is now the largest publicly exhibited museum submarine in the world. An audio guide takes you through the various areas of the submarine, giving you an insight into the technology and everyday life of the crew.

The museum tour ends in the aquarium with its 17 tanks, which allow visitors to immerse themselves in the beautiful and vulnerable underwater world of our oceans.

A truly impressive and multifaceted museum visit for young and old!
