Walk the hallowed sands of Omaha Beach, stand atop Pointe du Hoc, and visit the American Cemetery with a dedicated private guide — an immersive, deeply personal reckoning with the most consequential day of the 20th century.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at the cruise terminal and whisks you through the Normandy countryside in a premium vehicle. At Pointe du Hoc the original German bunkers and shell craters remain almost untouched — your guide brings the Ranger assault to life standing exactly where it happened. Omaha Beach and the immaculate Normandy American Cemetery are deeply moving, with time to reflect at headstones and the overlook memorial. The return drive passes through hedgerow country, with your guide framing the broader Battle of Normandy before you're back aboard with time to spare.
Good to know
Full-day tour runs 6–8 hours; confirm all-aboard time with the ship and request a departure of no later than 08:00. Pre-book well in advance for summer 2026 sailings — private vehicles sell out months ahead. No physical limitations beyond walking on uneven ground at Pointe du Hoc.
