Cherbourg Shore Excursion: Private D-Day Beaches Tour

New8 hFree cancellationBy Normandy Day - Normandy Tours

About this activity

Cherbourg has its own place in D-Day history — the port was a critical Allied objective in the weeks following June 6. But the beaches where the invasion began are just an hour to the south, and this private tour takes you straight there.

From the moment your driver meets you at the cruise terminal, the day is yours. No group, no fixed script, no bus. Just a comfortable private vehicle, a driver who knows the roads and the history, and the freedom to experience Normandy on your own terms.

You'll visit Pointe du Hoc — where the cliff faces still bear the scars of the assault. You'll walk Omaha Beach, where the scale of what happened here becomes impossible to ignore. And you'll stand among the white crosses of the Normandy American Cemetery, one of the most moving places in Europe.

Upgrade with a licensed historian guide for a deeper, richer understanding of the Normandy Campaign.
