TOURS FROM CRUISE PORTS #9

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 Le Havre, Cherbourg, and Honfleur!

Our “Tour from Port” is a private tour, for up to 8 people per minivan. We also offer a Group Tour 9B from Port, this tour is conducted in our Mercedes seating 16 people.

We recommend you inquire as soon as possible even if your party only counts a few people at this time, as “cruise arrival dates” are filling up very quickly. Cruise Critic is also a good website to place an ad and advertise your tour.

 

You have the choice

You can let our guide 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 booking administrator will help you build an itinerary around the sites you wish to see and check, with you, feasibility in time and distance. Do browse our website for inspiration. You can, of course, simply base your tour on one of our regular group tours.

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. Be mindful of the driving distances between your cruise port and the sites you wish to visit. We would be delighted to check feasibility in time and distance for any itinerary you have in mind. The choice will be difficult, no doubt, as you won’t be able to see all of what Normandy has to offer in one day.

Please Note: The above quotes are for up to 8 people (maximum per van).

Most of our cruise line clients are American/British/Canadian, and desire to focus their tour on the American/British/Canadian Battlefields of Normandy. If this is so, below is a suggested itinerary from your cruise port.

  • Number of spots 8
    30km
  1. Spot 1 Omaha and the WN

    Here we will see many WN’s - (wiederstandnest- meaning German weapons strong point emplacements) from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville.We will visit some of these strong points, which were the better-defended German Positions along Omaha. We will stop at WN 62 and WN 65 in Fox Green and Easy Red sectors of the American landing, and WN 73 in Dog Green at Vierville. This beach assault was a difficult assignment, given to US V Corps (General Gerow) whose Force O was made up of the 1st Infantry Division, 29th Infantry Division, the Rangers and several attached Units.

  2. Spot 2 American Cemetery of Colleville-Sur-Mer

    This Cemetery, extends over 172.5 acres, and is one of fourteen permanent American World War II cemeteries constructed on foreign soil.It contains the remains of 9387 servicemen and women killed for our freedom. The American Cemetery of Colleville conveys an unforgettable feeling of honor, peace and serenity.

  3. Spot 3 Pointe du Hoc

    Located on a cliff 8 miles west of the Cemetery, this monument was created by France to honour elements of the 2nd Rangers Battalion under the command of LTC James E. RUDDER which scaled the 100-foot cliff. Admiral Hall’s Intelligence officer remarked: "It can’t be done. Three old women with brooms could stop the Rangers scaling that cliff!". RUDDER replied to General BRADLEY: “Sir, my Rangers can do the job for you".

  4. Spot 4 The Longues Sur mer Battery

    The Atlantic Wall was a system of fortifications built by Nazi Germany, which extended along the Atlantic coast of Western Europe. The Longues-sur-Mer battery is a classic example of the pattern that was used for the Atlantic Wall. Come and discover the four casemates of these batteries and the 152 mm German naval guns behind the control bunker. This site has been very well preserved to this day as a Memorial of the war. You will cross the Port of Port en Bessin secured by the 47th Royal Commando Unit, which became an important petroleum port. Port en Bessin was the geographic boundary between the American and British sectors.
