Top Normandy Classic Car Tours

Normandy is home to some of France’s most important World War II sites, and visiting the D-Day landing beaches is essential to understanding the region’s past. On this tour, travel in a classic Range Rover 4WD and break up the history lesson by tasting some traditional Norman cuisine along the way. Visit Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, and Arromanches-les-Bains, then stop in Calvados to sample cheese, oysters, cider, and other regional specialties.

Cherbourg has its own place in D-Day history — the port was a critical Allied objective in the weeks following June 6. But the beaches where the invasion began are just an hour to the south, and this private tour takes you straight there. From the moment your driver meets you at the cruise terminal, the day is yours. No group, no fixed script, no bus. Just a comfortable private vehicle, a driver who knows the roads and the history, and the freedom to experience Normandy on your own terms. You'll visit Pointe du Hoc — where the cliff faces still bear the scars of the assault. You'll walk Omaha Beach, where the scale of what happened here becomes impossible to ignore. And you'll stand among the white crosses of the Normandy American Cemetery, one of the most moving places in Europe.

Two of Normandy's most beautiful places — one wild and dramatic, the other intimate and artistic — combined in a private day from Le Havre, with a glass of Norman cider in between. First, Etretat.

Walk the cliff path for breathtaking views that inspired Monet, Courbet, and Guy de Maupassant. Then stop at a local Norman producer to taste traditional cider and calvados. Discover the flavours of Normandy, shaped by centuries of craftsmanship and rolling apple orchards. Finally, Honfleur.

Your driver will collect you from the Le Havre cruise terminal, take care of all transportation, and ensure a guaranteed return to your ship.
