This experience combines visits to Utah Beach and Omaha Beach, giving you a fuller understanding of the events of June 6, 1944—from airborne operations inland to the dramatic amphibious assaults along the Normandy coastline.
Walk the historic sands where U.S. troops came ashore, stand at key viewpoints where the defenses and terrain shaped the outcome of the landings, and visit the Normandy American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach, where thousands of American soldiers are honored.
