Itinerario
Il tour inizia con un rapido prelievo a Le Havre, direttamente dal porto crociere o dal tuo hotel. Situata sulla costa della Normandia, Le Havre ha svolto un ruolo fondamentale durante la seconda guerra mondiale, fungendo da luogo strategico nella pianificazione e nell'esecuzione degli sbarchi del D-Day. Mentre lasci la città, la tua guida condividerà storie potenti sul significato della regione in tempo di guerra e sugli eroici sforzi delle forze alleate. Questa strada panoramica prepara il terreno per la storia d'impatto che ti aspetta nei siti di sbarco del D-Day.
Al cimitero di guerra tedesco di La Cambe, otterrai una prospettiva unica sugli eventi del D-Day. Situato in un ambiente tranquillo, questo sito solenne onora i sacrifici fatti dai soldati di entrambe le parti del conflitto. Le lapidi ben disposte servono da struggente promemoria del pesante tributo della guerra, offrendo un momento di riflessione e rispetto per coloro che hanno perso la vita.
A Pointe du Hoc, ti troverai in uno dei luoghi più significativi degli sbarchi del D-Day. Questa scogliera, situata tra Utah e Omaha Beach, era una posizione di difesa tedesca chiave, con artiglieria e fortificazioni che rappresentavano una seria minaccia per gli Alleati. Il 6 giugno 1944, i ranger dell'esercito americano scalarono coraggiosamente queste ripide scogliere sotto il pesante fuoco nemico per mettere in sicurezza l'area, un atto di coraggio cruciale per il successo dell'invasione della Normandia. Oggi, puoi assistere ai resti della battaglia, tra cui crateri di bombe, bunker danneggiati e un memoriale dedicato ai Rangers. Passeggiando per questo sito storico, sentirete la gravità degli eventi che si sono svolti qui.
Omaha Beach, conosciuta come "Bloody Omaha", è un sito chiave nella storia della seconda guerra mondiale. Fu una delle zone di sbarco principali durante l'invasione della Normandia del D-Day, dove le forze alleate affrontarono una feroce opposizione in una battaglia che giocò un ruolo fondamentale nel successo della campagna più ampia. Oggi, la spiaggia serve come un solenne ricordo del coraggio e del sacrificio dimostrato da coloro che hanno combattuto qui. Mentre cammini lungo la sabbia, avrai l'opportunità di riflettere sulla storia profonda e rendere omaggio. Durante questa sosta, ti verrà fornito un pranzo al sacco per goderti il significato del sito.
Al Normandy American Cemetery di Colleville-sur-Mer riposano in pace oltre 9.000 soldati americani che hanno sacrificato la loro vita durante l'invasione della Normandia. Mentre cammini tra le file di croci bianche e stelle di Davide, rimarrai commosso dalla scala del loro sacrificio. All'interno della Cappella Memoriale, prenditi un momento per riflettere e onorare il coraggio che ha definito questo terreno sacro.
Al termine del tour, tornerai a Le Havre, rilassandoti nel comfort del tuo trasporto mentre ti godi la bellezza paesaggistica della Normandia. Rifletti sul significato dei siti di sbarco del D-Day e sull'incredibile coraggio delle forze americane. Tornerai in porto ben prima della partenza della tua nave, garantendoti la tranquillità. La tua guida ti offrirà un caloroso addio, lasciandoti con ricordi duraturi di questo viaggio significativo.

Sam was an outstanding tour guide, as we were part of a group from a cruise ship that docked in Le Havre, the company was on top of ensuring we were picked up and promptly and delivered to the drop off point right by the ship in a timely manner! 100% recommend and checking with other friends from the cruise ships who took other tours, ours was the best in terms of quality and value! Again, Sam was a fantastic guide!
A moving experience. Cemeteries were beautifully manicured and stunning. Stories by those who lived through it were heart wrenching. Our guide was very knowledgeable but his French accent made it difficult to understand everything he told us. He also did not project his voice well, so I some of what he said. I also did not think he was dressed appropriately for his role. Too casual. Not professional.

Our guide, Sam, was so knowledgeable and seemed truly invested in the topic. He presented so much information and respect for the topic and wanted to share.
This was our chance to see Normandy and the sites of D-Day. We had a stop on the Majestic Princess at Le Havre. We had planned on a Princess Excursion because we wanted to make sure we were safe if the tour was late, but we needn't worry as the tour (and all the non-Princess tours we did) were all very aware of when we needed to be back and were very careful. We went in August, 2026 Our guide was very nice, but a little talkative, although I just think that is part of her personality. This tour went to Pont du Hoc to start, which was great to see. We went into bunkers and got great views of the cliffs. NOTE: We were told that the site would be closing for 5 years as they renovate it, so check before you book. We then went to Omaha Beach. We got free time to explore there and were given lunch, which was fine. There are other places to eat at that stop as well. I was a little disappointed at the lack of monuments at this stop, and I gathered that there was another, a bit busier, area of Omaha Beach with more to see. However, it was nice to avoid the crowds here and to get a sense of what it was like. We then swung by a museum gift shop for just a couple of minutes before going to the Military cemetery. This was a powerful stop. We had plenty of time here, and the museum here was very good. You can still see the beach from the cemetery. We then went back to the bus. The ride is about 2 hours each way from the cruise terminal, They pick you up and drop you off right by the ship.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your Normandy D-Day tour. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed visiting the historic sites and that you felt comfortable with the timing and return to the ship. We appreciate your comments regarding the different stops and the overall experience, as this helps us continue reviewing and improving our tours. Thank you again for joining us during your visit to Le Havre. Warm regards, Julia Vexperio
My husband and father-in-law said this was the best tour out of their whole trip and would do it all over again thank you for making this memorable trip for them
Our tour guide Thelma was so knowledgeable and kind. She took us through the history leading up to D Day and taught us many things we did not know.
This is a full day experience. We were picked up right at our ship. The guide, Sam, was extremely knowledgeable. He used the travel time to the beaches for a history lesson leading up to WWII. Having known someone who was wounded at St. Lo, this was a very meaningful visit for us. Recommend very highly. We returned in plenty of time before the gangway went up.
Loved this. We found the guide extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He kept us on schedule and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own.
Sam is as a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. The stops were a great selection of memorial, beach, and old German gun emplacements and bunker. A ton of history in one day.
We had a one day cruise stop in La Havre so we booked this full day excursion through our travel agent. Ash was amazing! He had so much information to share, got us back to the ship with plenty of time to spare, and we saw all the great historical WWII Normandy stops, including the American Cemetery, the German Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc. They even had a gluten free meal prepared for me, which was amazing! I highly recommend using this tour group, and Ash, for your trip to Normandy. The coach was also new and very clean, and the driver did an amazing job with keeping us safe and on time. Definitely check out this tour group!
