Cruise Terminal Le Havre

2h

Your tour begins with a prompt pickup in Le Havre, either directly from the cruise port or your hotel. Situated on the Normandy coast, Le Havre played a pivotal role during World War II, serving as a strategic location in the planning and execution of the D-Day landings. As you depart the city, your guide will share powerful stories about the region’s wartime significance and the heroic efforts of the Allied forces. This scenic drive sets the stage for the impactful history awaiting you at the D-Day Landing sites.

La Cambe German War Cemetery

1h

At La Cambe German War Cemetery, you'll gain a unique perspective on the events of D-Day. Set in peaceful surroundings, this solemn site honors the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides of the conflict. The neatly arranged gravestones serve as a poignant reminder of the heavy toll of war, offering a moment of reflection and respect for those who lost their lives.

Pointe du Hoc

1h

At Pointe du Hoc, you’ll stand at one of the most significant locations of the D-Day landings. This cliff, situated between Utah and Omaha Beach, was a key German defense position, with artillery and fortifications that posed a serious threat to the Allies. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers courageously scaled these steep cliffs under heavy enemy fire to secure the area, an act of bravery crucial to the success of the Normandy invasion. Today, you can witness the remnants of battle, including bomb craters, damaged bunkers, and a memorial dedicated to the Rangers. Walking through this historic site, you’ll feel the gravity of the events that unfolded here.

Omaha Beach

2h

Omaha Beach, known as "Bloody Omaha," is a key site in World War II history. It was one of the primary landing zones during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, where Allied forces faced fierce opposition in a battle that played a pivotal role in the success of the larger campaign. Today, the beach serves as a solemn reminder of the courage and sacrifice displayed by those who fought here. As you walk along the sands, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on the profound history and pay your respects. During this stop, you'll be provided a packed lunch for you to enjoy as you take in the significance of the site.

Normandy American Cemetery

2h

At the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, over 9,000 American soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the Normandy invasion rest in peace. As you walk among the rows of white crosses and Stars of David, you’ll be moved by the scale of their sacrifice. Inside the Memorial Chapel, take a moment to reflect and honor the bravery that defined this sacred ground.

Le Havre

2h

As your tour comes to an end, you'll head back to Le Havre, relaxing in the comfort of your transport while enjoying the scenic beauty of Normandy. Reflect on the significance of the D-Day Landing sites and the incredible courage of the American forces. You’ll return to port well before your ship’s departure, ensuring peace of mind. Your guide will offer a warm farewell, leaving you with lasting memories of this meaningful journey.
