 | June 6 marks the anniversary of the D-day Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944, which is considered one of the major turning points of World War II. This special place is easy to visit from an ocean cruise ship docked on the English Channel or from a river ship sailing the Seine River from Paris. | |

| Cherbourg -- French Coastal Town in Normandy
Cherbourg sits on the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula in the Normandy Region of France. Although most cruise ships dock in Le Havre, some choose to visit Normandy from this small town on the English Channel.

Most people visit Bayeux to see the famous Bayeux Tapestry, which dates back to the 11th century. The huge Tapestry gives a wonderful and detailed account, in 58 different scenes, of the events of 1066. More About Cruises Articles Follow
