Inside two bays of the former submarine base, the "ocean liner" Escal’Atlantic takes you on a voyage through the saga of the glamorous transatlantic liners. Over three levels and 3,500 square metres of exhibition space, Escal’Atlantic re-creates the atmosphere and the interiors of these legendary ships, many of which have been built in Saint-Nazaire for nearly a century and a half : liners such as the unforgettable Normandie, rival of the first Queen Mary in the 1930’s, or France, launched in 1960.

Embarking aboard the "liner"Escal’Atlantic means reliving the emotions of a transatlantic crossing! Visitors become passengers who discover cabins and staterooms, feel the wind of the open sea on the promenade deck, experience the noise and heat of the engine room and maybe enjoy a leisurely drink in the liner's bar... But beware, the end of the voyage might not be as relaxed as you would expect!
