  • Pick up from your Cruise Ship in Le Havre 
  • First, we will come and pick you up at your Cruise Ship in Le Havre cruise port. Meet your English speaking guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day. Then, board your A/C vehicle and begin to make your way to the Normandy coastline where the D-DAY landings occurred.
  • Visit Omaha Beach
  • Among the allied troops, the Americans landed on two different beaches, later named Omaha and Utah. Today, our day tour is taking you to Omaha beach, where the deadliest of the landings took place.
  • Even though bombings occurred before the landing itself, they failed to neutralize the German positions in that sector. In addition, troops and amphibian vehicles were disembarked too far from the shore, leading to an absolute failure and thousands of men being killed under German fire.
  • Now off to the cliffs
  • A little bit to the West, your private guided tour of Normandy will head to the Pointe du Hoc, a breathtaking cliff offering lunar landscapes and a magnificent viewpoint over the English Channel. Given the toughness of the operation, the Pointe du Hoc was given to Rangers to land upon.
  • The battle was rough, as the Pointe du Hoc had been built as a key point of the Atlantic Wall by the Germans – it was the highest point between Utah beach and Omaha beach and provided a great observation spot to notice any unfriendly arrivals from the sea. You can still see an artillery battery there and feel as if it was still this faithful June morning…
  • Normandy American Cemetery
  • End this private tour from Le Havre with a stop at the Normandy American Cemetery. Located in Colleville-sur-Mer, on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 as the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II.
  • Here you will have some time to walk around and pay homage but also visit the Visitor Center that provides a fuller array of visitor services to put the D-Day landings in perspective as one of the greatest military achievements in history.
  • After the visit, return to Le Havre and drop off at your ship. This private tour can accommodate a maximum of 8 persons per minivan. During the whole day, one of our certified English-speaking driver guides will be by your side. He will explain the history behind each Normandy tourist site you will visit.
  • The tour can be customized depending on your wishes. If you would like to add a visit that is missing from this description, do not hesitate to let us know!
  • Our other Shore Excursions from Le Havre
  • We organise a large number of private full day shore excursions that include private transportation to the major sites of the region such as Mont Saint Michel, Longues sur Mer, Bayeux, Caen. We also organise walking tours and winery tours for those who would like to taste the local apple brandy called Calvados. We also specialize in Group Tours to Mont St Michel.
