Join us for an evocative afternoon journey through the historic Normandy coast with our shore excursion, departing from the port of Le Havre, France. This tour is specially curated to bring history enthusiasts a profound experience at the pivotal American D-Day sites of World War II.

Your excursion begins with a visit to the awe-inspiring Pointe du Hoc, a testament to the courage of the Rangers who scaled sheer cliffs under fire to secure a crucial victory. Here, you'll explore the remnants of German fortifications amidst the scars of battle that still mark the landscape.

Next, stand on the sands of Omaha Beach, a hallowed ground that witnessed the fierce resilience and bravery of American forces. This vast stretch of coastline serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for freedom.

The journey culminates at the hallowed American Cemetery, a serene final resting place for thousands of soldiers. Spend a moment in solemn reflection, honoring the valor and sacrifice of those who fell. The nearby Visitors Center provides an immersive insight into the extraordinary stories of heroism and sacrifice that unfolded on these shores.

This tour offers not just a visit to landmarks but a deeply moving experience, retracing the steps of heroes who shaped our world. As you journey through these historic sites, the tales of bravery and sacrifice will resonate long after the tour concludes.
