Of the 3.1 million Allied troops ultimately sent into action during the Battle of Normandy, more than half were Americans. Today's tour honors the Allied troops, beginning with a motorcoach drive from Le Havre to Caen and then to the 'English' beaches at Arromanches.
The Landing Museum tells the story of the D-Day assault and the incredible courage of this remarkable mission.
Stop at a local restaurant for lunch, and in the afternoon, visit Omaha Beach, where some of the US troops landed in 1944.
A stop at the American Cemetery at St Laurent-sur-Mer allows time to wander among the rows of white crosses.
Re-board the coach and return to the ship in the late afternoon.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
