Our tours are specially designed to accommodate cruise line passengers as well as those arriving by land

For cruise liner guests, we strive to start our tours at 8am and end at 6pm, and we provide transportation for you from your cruise line dock through the Norman countryside to your choice of destinations.

Depending on the number of people in your group, you can reserve a chartered minibus with us, or chauffeured limo with our company. All tours will transport you safely from the beginning of your tour day to its end, and return you safely and comfortably to your cruise liner at the end of your day.

TOURS FROM PORTS

For those of you who arrive in Normandy by Cruise line... let us show you all of the key D-Day Battlefields, door to door, or rather dock to dock, from your cruise liner in the Ports of LeHavre, Cherbourg, and Honfleur!

YOU HAVE THE CHOICE

You can let one of our guides take you on one of our impressive inland tours of the Battleground where the Allied liberators started their massive invasion, or you can design a tour yourself to suit your own interests and needs- and we will follow your lead!

Our guides are entirely at your disposal, and, for example, you can structure your tour to see the famous medieval town of Bayeux that became the first French capital after the Invasion, and while you are there you can see the panoramic and famous Tapestry of Bayeux that is on display there. Or, you can structure your tour to visit Normandy’s crown jewel, Mont-Saint-Michel, or the charming port of Honfleur. The choice is yours, and the possibilities are endless! You can see as much as you want to fit in!
Most of our cruise line clients are American, and desire to focus their tour on the American Battlefields of Normandy. If this is so, below is a suggested itinerary from Le Havre port.

Tour Rates for the year 2011

Pick up Le Havre for Tour destination onto D-Day Battlefields or Mont-Saint -Michel: 880 Euros.
Pick up to Honfleur for Tour destination onto D-Day Battlefields or Mont Saint Michel: 880 Euros.
Pick up at Cherbourg for Tour destination onto D-Day Battlefields: 800 Euros.

Please Note: The above quotes are for 8 people (maximum per a van) or 3 people in our luxury limo. Our price includes any additional mileage and turnpike fees. However, our tour fees do not include admission fees to some of the museums on our tours that you may wish to see. Also, lunch is on your own as well.
Our suggestion: Since our prices are for group of 8 people maximum per a van, we encourage people in smaller groups than 8 people to inquire with other cruise guests to “buddy up” and share an 8 person van with them. The Cruise Critic Website is also a resource for those who wish to do this. At this point, Overlordtour is not allowed to make these inquiries or requests for you.

Sample Tour schedule:

Pick up at your ship in the port at 8:00 AM. Arrival at 9:30 AM at your first stop- the Battery of Longues sur Mer. These huge guns are not to be missed!

Next, continuing in the morning, we will visit the historic and moving beach at “Bloody Omaha” and the American Cemetery at Coleville sur Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach. These are sights that no American should miss!

Next, we will stop and visit Pointe du Hoc- where American Rangers courageously scaled sheer cliffs while under constant fire to attack German emplacements.

At noon we will stop for a quick lunch a Saint Mère Eglise, approximately 200 km from the port of Le Havre.

After lunch, we will take you to a 12th century church at Angoville au Plain, where two American paratrooper medics administered life saving aid to a mix of some 80 American and German soldiers wounded during the first day of the Normany Invasion. This village was overrun by troops of both sides several times during D-Day.

Depending on the remaining time available, and your interests, we will take you onto some more key invasion sites for the balance of the day- some of which are only accessible by our guides at Overlordtour!

Regardless of how many destinations and sights that you take in during your tour day, we will safely and comfortably bring you back to your cruise boat at the end of the day.

There, you can share the sights and memories of your day seen in such famous films as “The Longest Day” with your cruise mates who missed one of the most memorable days that only Overlordtours can provide.
