What to expect
Omaha Beach

Omaha Beach was part of the invasion area assigned to the U.S. First Army, under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley. The assault sectors at Omaha were code-named (from west to east) Charlie, Dog (consisting of Green, White, and Red sections), Easy (Green and Red sections), and Fox (Green and Red sections).
We will have one or two stops on Omaha Beach, at either Vierville, St Laurent and/or Colleville.
Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

This World War II cemetery in France contains the graves of nearly 9400 war dead, and nearly 1600 names on the Walls of the Missing.
This tour makes extra time for you to be able to explore the Visitor's Center.
Bayeux
2h
Capital of the Bessin area, Bayeux has deep historic roots stretching back to Roman times, although what you see only goes back as far William the Conqueror’s reign – the Duke of Normandy, also King of England by this time, was even present at the cathedral’s consecration in 1077.
Enjoy free time in Bayeux, stroll around and in the cathedral, treat yourself to a lovely lunch.
