D-Day and Normandy
On June 6, 1944, the largest seaborne invasion in history took place as 156,000 American, British and Canadian troops landed on the five beaches in Normandy. Today, these stretches of the battered coastline remain as they stood in 1944 with artillery craters dotting the shore. Alongside expert instructors, commemorate the history of D-Day by exploring these beaches and memorials through our D-Day tours that immerse you into this historic event in person and online.
