Descrizione
Private D-Day tour with pickup at your cruise ship or hotel. Visit Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc and Arromanches with your expert driver-guide.
Embark on a private full-day journey through the most significant D-Day landmarks of Normandy. This tour blends powerful historical storytelling, breathtaking landscapes, and expert guidance for an experience that is both meaningful and memorable.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup at your cruise ship in Le Havre or at your hotel in Honfleur, Deauville, Caen, or Bayeux. Enjoy a comfortable drive through the Normandy countryside as your guide introduces the key stages of the Allied landings and sets the historical context for the day.
Your first stop is Pointe du Hoc, one of the most dramatic and symbolic sites of D-Day. Here, U.S. Rangers scaled 30-meter cliffs under enemy fire to neutralize German artillery positions. Walk among massive bomb craters and preserved bunkers while learning how this daring assault influenced the outcome of the invasion.
Continue to Omaha Beach, a place of both natural beauty and immense historical weight. As you stand on the sand, you will hear stories of the soldiers who fought with extraordinary courage in the face of immense resistance. This is also where you will pause for lunch, with the option of a quick meal or a traditional Norman restaurant.
Your visit then continues to the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer. Walk along the graves of over 9,000 soldiers and reflect on the scale of sacrifice made during the liberation of Europe. Your guide will help you understand the significance of the site and its most notable memorials.
Next, explore the German battery at Longues-sur-Mer, the only coastal artillery position in Normandy still equipped with its original guns. Perfectly preserved, it offers an exceptional insight into the German defensive system and provides a striking contrast to the Allied sites.
End the day in Arromanches, where you will discover the remains of the Mulberry artificial harbor — an engineering feat that played a crucial role in supplying Allied forces. You may also choose to visit the 360° circular cinema for an immersive film retracing the Battle of Normandy.
After this enriching exploration of the key D-Day locations, relax during your drive back to your original pickup point.
This private experience can be fully customized to your interests and pace, ensuring a day that is both informative and deeply personal.
