Overview

Top City Balloon Tours Rating for the American D-Day Private Tour from Le Havre.

This is the shore excursion that cruise passengers consistently choose over their ship's own tour — and the reviews explain why. A private vehicle exclusively for your group. A licensed WWII expert guide. The freedom to spend more time at the places that move you most.

Walk Omaha Beach — the actual sand from Saving Private Ryan — with sector-by-sector commentary on June 6, 1944. Stand at Pointe du Hoc, where U.S. Rangers scaled 30-meter cliffs under fire. At the American Cemetery, 9,387 white crosses face the sea.

Fully customizable. Badge of Excellence. Return to ship guaranteed.
