Destination
About Caen (Ouistreham)
Caen is a historic Norman city linked to the English Channel coast at Ouistreham by a 15 km canal. Its identity is tied to William the Conqueror, with a ducal castle and two great abbeys, the Abbaye aux Hommes and the Abbaye aux Dames, among its landmarks.
Pedestrian shopping streets, markets and cafe terraces give the centre a lively feel, and the wider area takes in the Ouistreham coast, the Pays d'Auge countryside and the Normandy landing beaches. Check the ship schedule for upcoming calls.
