- Pointe du Hoc - Situated atop the Channel’s dramatic 100-foot cliffs, Pointe du Hoc is the site of one of D-Day’s most audacious operations by the U.S. Army Rangers.

- Pointe du Hoc - Situated atop the Channel’s dramatic 100-foot cliffs, Pointe du Hoc is the site of one of D-Day’s most audacious operations by the U.S. Army Rangers. On June 6, 1944, they bravely scaled these cliffs under intense fire to disable a German battery that threatened both Omaha and Utah Beach. The area remains untouched, with craters, collapsed bunkers, and original gun emplacements still visible, offering a raw and awe-inspiring experience. A historian-guide will provide a detailed account of the assault.
- Omaha Beach - Known intimately by Americans, Omaha Beach was the site of a fierce battle on June 6, 1944, where U.S. forces faced the strongest German defenses during the Normandy landings. The losses were severe, yet the bravery displayed was remarkable. Walking along this expansive, serene stretch of sand today, with a guide narrating the assault’s hour-by-hour events, leaves a lasting impression long after returning to the ship.
- Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer - Overlooking Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer serves as the final resting place for 9,387 American soldiers. The cemetery features rows of perfectly aligned white marble crosses and Stars of David, spanning 172 acres of French land permanently granted to the United States. The on-site museum and Wall of the Missing transform this site into a profound and deeply personal tribute. A guide will bring to life the names etched in stone.
- Arromanches-les-Bains - On the beach at Arromanches, the rusting remains of Mulberry Harbour B are still visible. This was one of two prefabricated artificial harbors transported across the Channel and assembled in just 12 days following D-Day. This engineering feat facilitated the supply of over 2.5 million men, 500,000 vehicles, and 4 million tons of supplies to the Allied forces. A guide will vividly recount this remarkable chapter in the story of liberation.
