The Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours team is busy preparing for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day in June 2024!

If you are interested in traveling with us on one of our 80th Anniversary of D-Day Tours, please fill out a survey (button on the right). The survey has all of the tentative 80th Anniversary of D-Day itineraries, all of which will include several nights in Normandy and attendance at the June 6th Ceremony. Please select the itinerary you are most interested in.

 If you are traveling in a group, please only fill the form out once per party.

A $300 per person deposit is due to get first dibs to your preferred itinerary. These deposits will be 100% refundable up until the time that we announce the 80th Anniversary of D-Day tour dates and prices, which will be in the next month or so.
