Description
Commemorate the 80th-anniversary of D-Day on this epic journey that transports you from the soul-stirring lands and seas of the Celts to the storied coastline of Northern France, and on to England’s historic Portsmouth. Traverse Celtic lands to discover their bold legacy—enshrined in ancient castles, brochs, and menhirs, and recalled in picturesque towns where poetry and songs date to the Bronze Age and Gaelic is widely spoken. Our exclusive travel program takes you in the path of iconic World War II history. In France, step upon solemn shores of Utah and Omaha beaches steeped in victory and loss, where nearly 160,000 Allied land, air, and sea forces stormed the Normandy beaches at 6:30 a.m. on June 6, 1944. In Portsmouth, United Kingdom, visit General Eisenhower’s ground zero for Operation Overlord. Dwight David Eisenhower II, grandson of President Dwight Eisenhower, joins us on a special anniversary tour with onboard lectures and guided walks through hallowed grounds, where an estimated 2,400 Allied soldiers died on a day the world will never forget. Pre- and Post- extensions offer opportunities to explore Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London in more depth.
