What To Expect
Cruise Terminal Le Havre
Your journey begins with a seamless pick-up in Le Havre, where an experienced guide will meet you at the cruise port or your hotel. Le Havre, strategically located on the Normandy coast, played a crucial role during World War II as a vital logistical hub for the Allied forces during the planning and execution of the D-Day invasion. As you depart from Le Havre, your guide will provide a brief introduction to the region’s significance and the heroic efforts of the Allied troops who fought to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. The drive to the first destination sets the stage for the profound historical experience that awaits at the D-Day Landing sites.
Cimetiere Militaire Allemand de La Cambe
At the German Cemetery, a distinct narrative of the D-Day events awaits you. Set against tranquil surroundings, this solemn site commemorates the sacrifices made by all parties involved in the conflict. With rows of meticulously placed tombstones, it stands as a solemn testament to the profound cost of war.

5.00Four family members travelled together for the DDay experience. 2 of us had done it previously. Sam, our guide , was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so much history about the event. He was also very organized and kept us on time by giving us specific times to be back on the bus. We really enjoyed our lunch on Omaha Beach. It was a well-organized tour and we enjoyed it immensely.

5.00This was an excellent excursion. There was a lot to cover and we had enough time at each stop. We stopped at the 1st American Cemetery, the permanent American cemetery, Omaha Beach, bunkers overlooking Omaha Beach, and the German gun bunkers where the Rangers landed. Bert, the tour guide, was excellent. He not only told the history of the areas but added some very insightful personal stories. He was always around to direct us at the tour sites and was available for questions.
