cwppwc Posted June 19, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Scheduled on HA from Rome to Amsterdam next May. There is a stop in Cherbourg (on a Sunday). Has anyone taken the "Holland America Sainte Mere Eglise & Utah Beach" excursion? Do you get to walk the beach? Do they stop at the American cemetary? Thanks.

Domer81mpc Posted June 19, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The Cemetary overlooks Omaha Beach, which is a ways from Utah. A private or semi private tour that hits Utah, Mere St. Englise, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha and the Cemetary is a better bet. DM me and I will give you info on tour we used in 2018.

Rare kazu Posted June 19, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I concur with Domer. We’ve been to Cherbourg but did a private tour. Wonderful experience. There are a lot of knowledgeable guides that can give you the experience of the D Day beaches and Normandy. Be prepared to be truly moved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncarlos Posted June 20, 2020 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I am on this cruise and raised the same question . After reading b'ween the lines and factoring in other considerations [ such as Ryndam sails at 4 pm , ] have concluded that the tour does not go to Omaha Beach & the Cementary . However, I will probe with HAL after they get back to normal [ new normal ??? ] at Head Office . Another of my conclusions :::: The cruise may be adjusted if delivery of Ryndam is delayed due to yard closing for C 19 . I am keeping my ears open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatmad Posted June 21, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2020 We took this tour through HAL 3 years ago. Very satisfied with the tour of the church, town and Utah beaches. I would highly recommend this, unlike many ship tours which we’ve not been pleased with. It does not go to the cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
