With a PA system so everyone hears the commentary clearly, free Wi‑Fi and bottled water on board, you travel in comfort between each key site of the Canadian sector. Juno Beach & Canadian D-Day Museum Begin at Juno Beach, where the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 9th Brigade landed on 6 June 1944, facing mines, obstacles and heavy fire that caused severe casualties. Walk the beach and visit the Juno Beach Centre, the striking maple‑leaf‑shaped museum dedicated to Canada’s role in the D‑Day landings and the Battle of Normandy, as your guide explains how Canadian troops advanced further inland than any other Allied force that first day. Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery Continue to the beautifully maintained Canadian War Cemetery at Bény‑sur‑Mer, final resting place of many soldiers who fell on D‑Day and in the early battles towards Caen. Among over 2,000 graves, you have time to walk the rows, reflect, and hear the stories behind some of the men commemorated here, including those linked to the Ardenne Abbey massacre. Ardenne Abbey & Hill 67 on Verrières Ridge Your tour then explores deeper chapters of Canadian sacrifice at the Ardenne Abbey, where captured Canadian soldiers were executed by Waffen‑SS troops, and on Verrières Ridge at Hill 67, scene of some of the costliest fighting for Canadian units, including the Black Watch. Standing at these memorials, your guide helps you understand why this ground remains central to Canadian military history before you return to Bayeux.
