Private D-Day Beaches Tour from Le Havre
Walk the sands of Omaha, stand at Pointe du Hoc, and pay tribute at the Normandy American Cemetery — entirely on your schedule.
This private D-Day beaches tour from Le Havre brings you face to face with the most significant sites of the June 6, 1944 Allied landings, without the constraints of a shared group tour. You are picked up directly at the cruise terminal and returned before your ship departs.
The Normandy coastline holds the weight of a turning point in modern history. Walking Omaha Beach, climbing the crater-scarred headland of Pointe du Hoc, and standing among the white crosses of the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer offers a perspective that no documentary or museum exhibit can fully replicate.
Because this is a fully private experience, your driver adapts the pace to your group. You spend more time where it matters most to you, and less time waiting for others. The itinerary covers the most significant American landing zones along the Calvados coast.
For those who want a deeper understanding of the military operations, an optional upgrade adds a licensed historian guide who uses period maps and firsthand accounts to explain the tactical decisions and human stories behind each site.

Tour Itinerary
Your private driver meets you directly at the cruise terminal. The transfer to the Normandy landing beaches takes approximately two hours along the coast road.
Perched on steep cliffs above the Channel, this headland was seized by U.S. Rangers who climbed under machine gun fire to neutralize a German artillery battery. The site remains largely unrestored, with shell craters, collapsed bunkers, and original German firing posts still visible across the promontory.
Known during the landings as Bloody Omaha, this wide stretch of sand was the site of the fiercest American resistance on June 6, 1944. Today it is calm and open, but the scale of the beach makes the events of that morning vivid and comprehensible in a way that no photograph achieves.
Overlooking Omaha Beach, this cemetery holds the graves of 9,387 American soldiers. The site includes a chapel, a wall of the missing, and an interactive museum presenting the operations of June 6 and the weeks that followed.
Your driver returns you to the port with time to spare before your ship departs. The schedule is tracked throughout the day to ensure a comfortable return.
