I did not do an excursion, but my parther went to Utah Beach and was impressed. I roamed the shops and managed to buy a few lovely things in French - very pleased with myself. Note that not a lot of English is spoken here. Read Less

We did a private tour of the d-day sites while docked in Cherbourg. It was the highlight of the trip. Read Less

Nice place to walk around. Read Less

Not much to see but we had a walk around Read Less

Quaint and pretty little town. Take the free shuttle bus every 20 mins to the town or walk down the lovely marina. Treat yourself to a crepe and lovely coffee. Pretty little shops dotted around. A very “safe” feeling to the town. Read Less

A ship's tour to Bayeux was excellent. Interesting countryside, beautiful Cathedral, and the highlight is the Bayeux Tapestry. Read Less

As it was Sunday much of the area was closed. Read Less

Could walk straight off the ship straight into the town. Unfortunately, our stop there was on a Sunday so most shops were shut but bars and cafes open. Nice gardens in walking distance, tourist desk very helpful at port. Read Less

British Landing Beaches: Excellent. Afternoon trip to Normandy Villages: Average Read Less

A really good museum right on the port Read Less

Arrived on Sunday after a sea day Saturday. The town was basically closed and all tours were booked. Very poor planning by Holland. Read Less

Great tour of Utah beach. The half day excursion should have been a full day. Read Less

We took the Staire Valley tour which included a trip to Bafleur where William the Conqueror left for the Battle of Hastings. We are Normandy fans and loved every minute of the trip. Read Less

My rating is for the town of Cherbourg which was very nice, but a little bit of a hike from the ship. We took a HAL excursion to Val de Saire in the afternoon. Biggest waste of money ever! Not enough time at our two fishing village stops to really see or do anything. Spend most of the excursion time riding on the bus. Read Less
