The tour begins with a pickup at the Le Havre cruise terminal or hotel, followed by a scenic drive along the Normandy coast with commentary on the region's WWII role. The first stop is La Cambe German War Cemetery, where visitors can reflect on the soldiers buried there in a peaceful setting. Next is Pointe du Hoc, a crucial cliffside battleground where U.S. Army Rangers scaled fortified cliffs under heavy fire on June 6, 1944. Visitors see bomb craters, damaged bunkers, and a memorial honoring the Rangers. Then the tour continues to Omaha Beach, known as "Bloody Omaha," a principal landing zone of the Allied invasion. Here, a packed lunch is provided to enjoy while walking along the beach and considering its history. The following stop is the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, containing over 9,000 graves of American soldiers who died during the invasion. Visitors walk among rows of white crosses and Stars of David and may enter the Memorial Chapel. The tour concludes with a return drive to Le Havre, arriving well before the ship's departure time. The guide provides commentary throughout and a farewell at the end. The tour lasts about 8 to 10 hours and includes lunch.
