D-Day 80th Anniversary Voyage

Commemorate D-Day with a shorter sail around Britain’s south coast and France.

Ship: Ambition
Departs From: Bristol Royal Portbury
Sets Sail: Jun 2, 2024
Duration: 6 nights
D-Day Anniversary
Cruise Code: A22411BR

Begin your voyage with a stop in Guernsey’s St. Peter Port that offers several museums and historical gardens as well as pretty beaches. You’ll then sail to Le Havre, the UNESCO listed city that was almost completely rebuilt after WWII when it was extensively bombed.

Before venturing to the subtropical St. Mary’s off the coast of Cornwall, we will anchor off the Normandy Beaches. Here you will have the opportunity to reflect on the significance of an operation that largely marked the beginning of the end of the Second World War. Thanks to Britain and its allies, D-Day is forever remembered.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

St. Mary’s, Isles of Scilly, UK

The Scilly Isles are a subtropical paradise off the coast of Cornwall. Little more than six square miles, St. Mary’s is the largest, with an atmosphere unlike anything you’ll experience on the mainland.

St. Peter Port, Guernsey, UK

Quainter and more unspoilt than its near neighbour St. Helier, St. Peter Port is part Francophile fishing port, part bustling capital - and a playground for the wealthy, who know a good thing when they see it.

Normandy Beaches, France

On 6 June 1944, Britain and its allies commenced a highly coordinated invasion that sought to free France from German occupation. This invasion, known as D-Day, would largely mark the beginning of the end of WWII. Reflect on this fateful day as we anchor off the five Normandy beaches that troops landed on 80 years ago.

  • Special lunch menu (made with rationed items)
  • Themed vignettes
  • Great British Deck Party with special afternoon tea
  • Remembrance service
