Itinerary
Pointe du Hoc is a dramatic clifftop site between Utah and Omaha Beaches, where U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs on D-Day to neutralize German artillery. Today, the landscape remains marked by bomb craters, bunkers, and memorials overlooking the English Channel.
Omaha Beach is one of the main D-Day landing sites, where American forces faced fierce resistance on June 6, 1944. Today, it is a wide, peaceful shoreline that stands as a powerful symbol of sacrifice and courage.
Overlooking Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery honors more than 9,000 American soldiers who lost their lives during the Normandy campaign. Its rows of white crosses and Stars of David create a moving tribute to those who fought for freedom.
