This is the only private shore excursion from Le Havre dedicated entirely to the Canadian story of D-Day — a bucket list experience for Canadian travelers and anyone who wants to understand the full Allied landing of June 6, 1944.
At Juno Beach, Canadian assault troops stormed ashore against fierce German defenses. The Juno Beach Centre tells the story of the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives through photos, archives and first-hand accounts. Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery and Bernières-sur-Mer complete a day that honors a chapter of history most tours never cover.
Your private vehicle travels exclusively for your group, with pickup from any location in Le Havre and your return to ship fully guaranteed.

What To Expect
Juno Beach
Your first stop will be at Juno Beach where Canadian assault troops first stormed ashore in the face of fierce attacks from German strongholds. The Canadians suffered the second-highest number of casualties here, with the Americans losing the most at Omaha Beach.
Juno Beach Centre
This museum is the only Canadian one in Normandy. Divided in seven parts, it explains what Canada was before the war started, how the country turned completely toward the war effort, the different Canadian campaigns in Europe and the total human cost. The museum always houses a temporary exhibition. Located just behind the sand dunes of Juno Beach, it is surrounded by German bunkers and beach obstacles, Canadian and Allied military equipment, monuments, sculpture, inukshuk and information signs.

5.00Our driver Salim picked us up on time, right at port. The drive to pick up our guide was about 1h away, with no traffic. We met our guide and headed to Juno Beach. Sunny was amazing. She had a way of telling stories and history that was both touching and informative. Being Canadian, this tour really hit home. Our teens gained a better understanding of the war and the sacrifices made by young Canadian men. Sunny also tailored the tour to us and what we wanted to experience. We highly recommend!
