What's included in All-in-One Normandy D-Day Landing Beaches and Lunch from Le Havre
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Cruise Terminal Le Havre
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.
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
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.
