What to expect

You'll be picked up directly from Le Havre's cruise terminal in a private vehicle and driven south toward the Normandy coast. The journey itself is your introduction—your driver navigates traffic and timing while you begin absorbing the geography of the 1944 landings. At each site, you stop as long as you wish. Omaha Beach itself is a wide, open shoreline; the scale becomes apparent when you stand there. Pointe du Hoc's concrete bunkers and cratered terrain tell a different story—tactical and physical. The American Cemetery is manicured and solemn, with rows of white crosses extending across a clifftop. You'll have time to walk the grounds. Note that entrance fees to museums or visitor centres are separate.
