Itinerary
Easy Pickup in Le Havre Your day begins with a prompt pickup directly at your cruise port or hotel in Le Havre. A professional, English-speaking guide will greet you and escort you to a modern, air-conditioned bus. As you begin the drive, your guide will give a brief overview of Normandy’s role in WWII and what to expect during the day.
German War Cemetery Your first stop is the German Cemetery. Surrounded by peaceful greenery, this site reflects the losses of WWII from all sides. Your guide will explain its importance in the D-Day story, helping you gain quick, meaningful insight into the historical context.
Pointe du Hoc Next, you'll visit Pointe du Hoc, a key D-Day location where U.S. Rangers scaled 100-foot cliffs under enemy fire. Today, the bomb craters and damaged bunkers remain untouched. It’s a stop that offers both historical impact and a chance for photos, with minimal walking required.
Omaha Beach & Lunch Then it’s on to Omaha Beach, one of the most intense landing points during the invasion. Your guide will explain the events while you walk along the shore. During this stop, you’ll receive a pre-packed lunch, including a baguette sandwich, dessert, and bottled water, prepared for convenience so you can eat without delay.
American Cemetery Next, visit the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. With over 9,000 graves, it’s one of the most moving stops of the day. You'll have time to see the chapel and walk briefly among the rows of headstones. Your guide will be nearby for context, but the pacing allows time to reflect quietly if you choose.
Return to Le Havre After a full but well-paced tour, you’ll return to your coach for the drive back to Le Havre. Your guide will ensure you arrive back at the ship on schedule, with time to spare. There’s no need to worry—everything has been timed with your cruise itinerary in mind.

About Le Havre
Le Havre is a major port at the mouth of the Seine, rebuilt in concrete after the Second World War to plans by Auguste Perret and now UNESCO-listed.
Le Havre was founded in 1517 by King François I as a harbour on the Seine estuary and is still one of the main ports of France. Bombing in 1944 flattened the centre, and a team led by Auguste Perret rebuilt it in reinforced concrete on a grid of wide avenues, a modern town that is now a World Heritage site. Saint Joseph's Church, with a lantern tower more than a hundred metres high, anchors the skyline.
