(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Our journey begins with a seamless pick-up in the cruise ship port of Cherbourg, where our experienced guide will meet you at the cruise port or at your hotel.
Sainte-Mere-EglisePass-by Only
Place that holds a special place in history as one of the first towns liberated during D-Day in World War II. Known for its iconic church, visitors are captivated by the story of paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute became entangled on the church steeple during the Allied invasion. We will stop at a local bakery there for you to pick up food, but you are welcome to bring your own meal, especially if you have specific dietary needs or restrictions
Omaha Beach
One of the most poignant stops on this tour is Omaha Beach, infamously known as "Bloody Omaha." It was one of the main landing points during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in World War II and saw some of the most intense fighting of the campaign. Today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifices made by Allied forces during one of the most significant military operations in history. Visitors will have the opportunity to walk along the beach, reflect on the events that took place there, and pay their respects.
