Mat McLachlan History Cruises has announced the launch of an inaugural D-Day Anniversary River Cruise aboard AmaWaterways' AmaLyra.
The voyage will consist of an eight-day Paris-to-Normandy sailing along the Seine through France, departing June 3, 2027, fully escorted by an expert Historian, with two exclusive days exploring the D-Day landing beaches on the anniversary of the landings, and exclusive onboard history seminars.
The cruise is available only to guests who book with Mat McLachlan History Cruises.
The cruise coincides with the 83rd anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. It places guests at the heart of the commemorations, with the option to attend the moving anniversary service at the Normandy American Cemetery on June 6.
Mat McLachlan History Cruises said in a press release that historian, author and media commentator Mat McLachlan specializes in translating what you read in history books or see on screen into what you can experience on the ground.
"There's something profoundly moving about standing on the ground where history happened, and exploring with an expert Historian is what truly brings it to life," said Mat McLachlan, historian and founder of Mat McLachlan History Cruises.
"Our D-Day Anniversary Cruise does exactly that. We'll walk the landing beaches, sail the Seine and uncover the full story of Operation Overlord on the very ground that it unfolded. It promises to be an extraordinary journey," he added.
Highlights of the cruise include the following:
