Overview

This is the most complete private D-Day shore excursion from Le Havre — structured around the actual chronology of Operation Overlord on June 6, 1944, from the Rangers who scaled the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc at dawn to the 9,387 men who now rest above Omaha Beach.

No other tour from Le Havre includes the Overlord Museum — the largest private collection of original D-Day vehicles, weapons and equipment in the world. Tanks, jeeps, uniforms and personal objects bring the human reality of June 6 to life in a way no battlefield alone can match.

What to expect

Cruise Terminal Le Havre
Pass by

For cruise passengers, your driver will be waiting at the exit of Le Havre cruise terminal with a sign bearing your name. For hotel pickups, your driver meets you in the lobby. Your Operation Overlord map is distributed at departure — your guide to the full chronology of June 6, 1944.
Pointe du Hoc
1h

Stand at the top of the 30-meter cliffs that U.S. Army Rangers scaled under enemy fire on the morning of June 6, 1944. The craters left by Allied naval bombardment, the German bunkers, the gun pits — all intact, exactly as they were left 80 years ago. The most dramatic and untouched D-Day site in all of Normandy. As seen in Saving Private Ryan..

Enjoy a panoramic bus tour highlighting key landmarks such as Villa Strassburger, Hippodrome de Deauville-La Touques, and Casino Barrière Deauville. The bus stops at the Casino, just steps from the iconic boardwalk “Les Planches” and the beach.

You will then have free time to shop, explore, or relax by the sea.
Omaha Beach
45m

Walk the actual sand where American soldiers crossed under fire on June 6, 1944 — the beach depicted in Saving Private Ryan and immortalized in Band of Brothers. Your guide narrates every sector of the landing from west to east, explaining the geography that made Omaha the deadliest beach of the entire Allied invasion. The bucket list moment of any D-Day tour from Le Havre.
Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
2h

Perched on the bluffs above Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery holds 9,387 white marble crosses and Stars of David facing the English Channel in perfect rows across 70 acres of immaculate lawn. After a morning on the beaches, the Cemetery carries a weight that no first-time visitor expects. Family name searches available on request.

The largest private collection of original D-Day military equipment in the world — Sherman tanks, half-tracks, jeeps, motorcycles, uniforms and personal objects, all original, all from June 1944. After standing on Omaha Beach, walking through the Overlord Museum gives every piece of equipment a face and a story. The essential complement to a morning on the beaches.
