Itinerary

1
Cruise Terminal Le Havre
Your tour commences with a timely pickup in Le Havre, either directly from the cruise port or your hotel. Situated on the Normandy coast, Le Havre was strategically vital during World War II for the planning and execution of the D-Day landings. As you depart the city, your guide will share compelling narratives about the area's wartime significance and the valiant efforts of the Allied forces. This scenic drive sets the stage for the profound history that awaits you at the D-Day Landing sites.
· 2 h
2
La Cambe German War Cemetery
At the La Cambe German War Cemetery, you will gain a unique perspective on the events of D-Day. This solemn site, set in peaceful surroundings, honors the sacrifices made by soldiers from both sides of the conflict. The meticulously arranged gravestones serve as a poignant reminder of the heavy cost of war, offering a moment for reflection and respect for those who lost their lives.
· 1 h
3
Pointe du Hoc
At Pointe du Hoc, you will stand at one of the most significant locations of the D-Day landings. This cliff, positioned between Utah and Omaha Beach, was a crucial German defense stronghold, equipped with artillery and fortifications that posed a serious threat to the Allied forces. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers bravely scaled these steep cliffs under intense enemy fire to secure the area, an act of valor essential to the success of the Normandy invasion. Today, you can explore the remnants of the battle, including bomb craters, damaged bunkers, and a memorial dedicated to the Rangers. Walking through this historic site, you will feel the immense weight of the events that transpired here.
· 1 h
4
Omaha Beach
Omaha Beach, infamously known as "Bloody Omaha," is a key site in World War II history. It served as one of the primary landing zones during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, where Allied forces encountered fierce resistance in a battle that proved critical to the success of the larger campaign. Today, the beach stands as a solemn memorial to the courage and sacrifice of those who fought here. As you walk along the sands, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the profound history and pay your respects. During this stop, a packed lunch will be provided for you to enjoy as you absorb the significance of the site.
· 2 h
5
Normandy American Cemetery
At the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, over 9,000 American soldiers who gave their lives during the Normandy invasion rest in eternal peace. As you walk among the rows of white crosses and Stars of David, you will be deeply moved by the scale of their sacrifice. Within the Memorial Chapel, take a moment to reflect and honor the bravery that defined this sacred ground.
· 2 h
6
Le Havre
As your tour concludes, you will journey back to Le Havre, enjoying the scenic beauty of Normandy from the comfort of your transport. Reflect on the significance of the D-Day Landing sites and the extraordinary courage of the American forces. You will return to the port with ample time before your ship's departure, ensuring complete peace of mind. Your guide will offer a warm farewell, leaving you with enduring memories of this meaningful expedition.

Powerful tour and informative
karenlrite, October 2026
Ash and Lesiene provided a good tour. Ash was very knowledgeable and able to share his knowledge with us on the bus. Unfortunately we were the last people off of the bus at our first stop at the American Cemetery. Omaha Beach was excellent and the information that Ash shared made it even more impactful.

We’re glad to hear that you found the tour informative and that Ash’s knowledge helped make the visit to Omaha Beach especially impactful. We also appreciate your comment regarding the first stop at the American Cemetery. Feedback like this is very helpful to us, as we are always looking for ways to improve the experience for our guests.
