The Baggage hall
Discover the Transatlantic terminal building’s baggage hall

The Baggage hall
A temporary exhibition was also created during the restoration period, taking visitors back to the passenger terminal’s heyday: from the era of emigration up to the arrival of world-renowned stars….
Since 2004, passengers arriving on some of Cherbourg’s most impresssive stop-overs have disembarked directly into the baggage hall via the original gangways and discovered the beauty of this magnificent room, with its exotic wood counters still intact. These counters were used by the customs officers who checked passports and luggage. Travellers from around the world still enjoy the pleasure of arriving in this unique hall, the likes of which can be found nowhere else: a place that remains a reminder of the luxury of that grand era of the transatlantic maritime companies.
An area now used for receptions and an exhibition on the history of the Titanic
The hall is also used for exhibitions at La Cité de la Mer. The activity of events organisation in Cherbourg has been largely developed thanks to the Congress centre at La Cité de la Mer and the Baggage hall is the scene for many events such as seminars, cocktail or functions for companies or institutions. Its unique style really makes each event unforgettable...
In 2012, The Baggage hall will be used in the context of a new permanent exhibition tracing the history of the Titanic at La Cité de la Mer: The Titanic returns to Cherbourg. The general public will be able to visit this exhibition all year round and discover the routes taken by emigrants who embarked on board the infamous liner in Cherbourg.
