(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Omaha Beach
Omaha Beach, the longest of the five designated landing sectors, extended six miles along the Normandy coast from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville-sur-Mer. The task of securing this critical sector was assigned to the U.S. First Army’s V Corps, with amphibious support provided by the U.S. Navy and elements of the Royal Navy. The assault, led primarily by the U.S. 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions, faced formidable German defenses and is widely regarded as the most harrowing engagement of the D-Day operations.
Pointe du Hoc
Perched between Utah and Omaha Beaches, the cliff top—sometimes referred to as Pointe du Hoe—rises sharply over 100 feet above the English Channel. In the meticulous planning leading up to the Normandy invasion, Allied commanders identified several key objectives that demanded precise execution, and the capture of Pointe du Hoc was among the most vital. Due to its elevated position and heavy fortifications, it was considered one of the most dangerous German defensive strongholds along the Norman coast.
Sainte-Marie-du-Mont
On the night of June 5, 1944, 13,400 American paratroopers boarded C-47 transport aircraft to take part in the largest airborne operation in history. Their mission: to secure key terrain behind enemy lines in advance of the seaborne invasion. However, problems emerged as the aircraft crossed into French airspace. A thick cloud bank over the Cotentin Peninsula forced many pilots to climb or dive unexpectedly, and intense German antiaircraft fire further scattered the formation. In the resulting confusion, paratroopers were often dropped far from their designated drop zones, leading to widespread disarray in the opening hours of the operation.
