On dates ranging from March 17th to October 11th of 2024, Collette will be offering a special version of their ‘Memorials of World War II’ tour. The tour will focus on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, June 6th, 1944, during World War II.
The special tour will take the traveler through cities like London, where the traveler will learn about what is like during The Blitz and travel across the English Channel.
Also on the itinerary is France, specifically the first French town liberated from the Nazis, Saint-Mère-Église. While the tour ends in Paris, the city of light, with a dinner cruise along the Seine River.
And of course, a chance to experience the beaches of Normandy and honor the almost 9,000 Allied troop deaths when storming the shore.
“Throughout 2024, our travelers will have the opportunity to take this journey honoring the 80th anniversary of D-Day, traveling along the same paths as the nearly 160,000 Allied troops who battled for European freedom on June 6, 1944. The visit to Normandy is always an emotional one. It is such a moving experience to set foot on the same sand as so many heroes did that day.”, said Jaclyn Liebl-Cote Chief Customer Experience Officer at Collette.
Tour prices start at $3,499, and Collette says there are plenty of spots for travelers available.
