Cherbourg Guide

Cherbourg Ferry

An old port town that is known primarily for providing cross channel ferries, Cherbourg is a unique place to visit, thanks to its incredibly beautiful architecture, that can be seen through the array of churches that are scattered across the town, as well as the popular museums that show the towns rich history, and especially its links to the French navy, and there are also many stretches of beaches and seafronts for you to explore and enjoy before your journey. The ferry port here is one of the busier ferry ports, although it is not nearly as busy as the largest ports of Calais and Dunkirk, and there are ferry routes running from here not only across the Channel, but also to destinations in Ireland, so there is plenty of variety in ferry choices.
