Overview

Step back into history on this private shore tour of the D-Day US sector in Normandy. Visit the key locations where the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions landed during the early hours of June 6, 1944, and explore both American landing beaches, Utah and Omaha. Stand atop the dramatic cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, where US Rangers carried out one of the war’s most daring assaults. Concluded at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, a deeply moving tribute to the soldiers who gave their lives for freedom.
