80TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY CRUISE D-DAY AND THE BOMBER WAR MAY 29–JUNE 8, 2024 Hamburg • Amsterdam • East Anglia • Dunkirk • Honfleur Normandy Beaches • Pointe du Hoc • Dover
AN ALL-INCLUSIVE TOUR ABOARD SEABOURN OVATION In collaboration with The National WWII Museum
Dear U.S. Naval Academy Alumni and Friends The last few years have truly shown that there is no digital substitute for real-life personal interaction and world exploration. The sensation of standing in a sacred place and taking in one’s surroundings is a profound experience. The Museum’s Educational Travel Programs have created countless emotions of honor, awe, disbelief, and pride in our country. As we look forward to the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, we once again have a chance to honor the men and women who helped to liberate a continent. Their efforts on the Home Front, at sea, on land, and in the air serve to inspire us all.
Iron Mike Monument at La Fière
Join us as we sail from Hamburg on May 29, 2024, with ports of call and a custom itinerary emphasizing the land, sea, and air campaigns of World War II. As a very special guest of our institution, you will travel in complete comfort aboard the exquisite Seabourn Ovation and be there with us in Normandy for an unforgettable 80th anniversary ceremony on June 6th, 2024. A two-day stop in East Anglia, England, will give a special emphasis to the airmen and their ground support who helped make D-Day possible. As featured tour historian and Museum friend Dr. Donald L. Miller is fond of saying, “You can’t have D-Day if the Luftwaffe controls the skies.” In addition to Dr. Miller, you will share in rich discussions with revered historians Alexandra Richie, John McManus, and Keith Lowe. As a guest of the Museum, you’ll enjoy privileged access to top WWII sites and special invitations to events both on board and ashore during this major commemoration. For a more robust experience, you may choose to add a specially arranged pre-cruise tour in Hamburg or our post-cruise program in London. Commemorations, like the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, are instrumental in preserving the memory of World War II. Being in Normandy, surrounded by thousands of people from many nations, to honor a significant event in world history, is unparalleled. With only 300 suites available, accommodations are likely to fill up quickly, and I urge you to reserve your space as soon as possible. It took years to plan for D-Day. It takes only a few minutes to call 1-877-813-3329 x 257 and reserve your place in this exploration of history. I look forward to seeing you there! Sincerely,
Amy Garwood Director, Alumni Travel, USNA Alumni Association

THE INFLUENCE OF AIR POWER ON D-DAY From the moment the first German bombs fell on Rotterdam in May 1940, causing an intense firestorm and the displacement of tens of thousands of people, military leaders could see that the nature of this war would change. Civilians were targets even if they were miles away from the front lines. The ensuing Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940 resulted in a series of escalating attacks that drew British civilians into the war. As aerial bombardments increased, so, too, did the technology to combat them. As the Luftwaffe approached the English coast, a combination of radar, coastal observers, and radio lines tracked their movements. The fighters of the Royal Air Force quickly scrambled to meet the invading aircraft. In the face of mounting casualties, Hitler called off his planned invasion of England.
MIGHTY EIGHTH AIR FORCE
The escalation of tactics continued as the British and American bombers attacked sites across Europe. In July 1943, a series of raids on Hamburg ignited a firestorm, causing a massive migration of displaced Germans. The stories of the Allied raid spread throughout the country, sowing doubt in the superiority of the Nazi regime. To mask their attacks on Hamburg, the British used chaff, also called window, to confuse German radar technicians. In preparation for the D-Day landings along the Normandy coast, Allied bombers attacked marshalling yards, rail lines, and bridges across France to impede the German response. The development of the P-51 as an escort plane allowed Allied bombers to fly deep into Europe to strike at German industry. Raids on oil refineries, factories, and weapon projects such as the V-2 site in Peenemunde, caused German industry to move underground. As casualties mounted, the most difficult resource for the Germans to replace became their trained pilots.

By June 6, 1944, the Luftwaffe was not a major concern for the architects of D-Day. The skies belonged to the Allies. Once the beaches were secure, and the barrage balloons were in place, the Luftwaffe could pose little threat to the supply operations. Air superiority came with a cost. Some airmen remember a saying that to “fly in the Eighth Air Force then was like holding a ticket to a funeral —your own.” The Eighth Air Force suffered more than 47,000 casualties, including 26,000 dead. Every American military cemetery in Europe features the names, squadrons, and bomb groups of the Eighth Air Force.

FEATURED TOUR HISTORIANS Featuring an exclusive lecture series by our esteemed historian authors and all-inclusive touring, this unique educational program combines learning and sightseeing with a whole new level of luxury.
DONALD L. MILLER, PHD Donald L. Miller, PhD, is the John Henry MacCracken Professor of History Emeritus at Lafayette College and one of the outstanding historians of World War II, along with other topics in American history. His books on World War II include The Story of World War II, D-Days in the Pacific, and Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany. Masters of the Air, named “outstanding book of the year” by World War II magazine, is the primary source for Apple TV’s upcoming miniseries, in which Miller is serving as chief historical consultant. He was also a consultant for HBO’s miniseries The Pacific, and served as writer and chief historical consultant for WWII in HD, a 10-hour series that aired on the History Channel. His works on other history subjects include City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America, and Vicksburg: Grant’s Campaign that Broke the Confederacy, which was released in October 2019. Miller is a longstanding member of the Museum’s Presidential Counselors advisory body. He is among scholar participants in the Museum’s overseas tours and has been a leading figure in summer workshops for teachers.
ALEXANDRA RICHIE, DPHIL Alexandra Richie, DPhil, is a historian of Germany and Central and Eastern Europe, with a specialization in defense and security issues. She completed her B.A. (Hons) in Political Science at the University of Victoria and went on to study at St. Antony’s College, Oxford, where she wrote her doctoral thesis, “The Political Manipulation of History in East and West Germany.” Richie is also the author of Faust’s Metropolis: A History of Berlin, which was named one of the top ten books of the year by American Publisher’s Weekly, and Warsaw 1944: Hitler, Himmler, and the Warsaw Uprising, which won the Newsweek Teresa Torańska Prize for best nonfiction book of 2014 and the Kazimierz Moczarski Prize for Best History Book 2015. She has contributed to many articles, documentaries, radio, and television programs, and is the Convener of the Presidential Counselors at The National WWII Museum. She is also a member of the Senate at the Collegium Civitas University in Warsaw, Poland, and the Władysław Bartoszewski co-chair of History and International Studies at the Collegium Civitas.
KEITH LOWE Keith Lowe is the author of several major works of history. His first book, Inferno, was a critically acclaimed study of the bombing of Hamburg in 1943. His second book, Savage Continent, became a Sunday Times top 10 best seller, and went on to win both the Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History and Italy’s national Cherasco History Prize. It is now a standard work on the wave of violence and revenge that swept Europe after the war. The Fear and the Freedom is an intimate history of the long-term consequences of the Second World War, and the shadow that it still casts over our lives today. It was shortlisted for the Historical Writers’ Association Non-fiction Crown, and has been adapted as a 12-part radio series in the Czech Republic. His latest book, Prisoners of History, examines our monuments to the war, and asks what they are really saying about our history and ourselves. Written at a time when statues around the world were being torn down by both governments and protesters, it is a timely look at some of the world’s most important symbols of our collective past. Lowe regularly speaks on TV and radio, and he often lectures on postwar history at venues across Europe and North America. He has written for a variety of newspapers and journals, including The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Wall Street Journal, El Paìs and the NeueZürcherZeitung. He lives in London with his wife and two children.

OPERATION GOMORRAH: THE DEVASTATION OF HAMBURG
BATTLE OF BRITAIN
Bomber warfare was a new concept in the years leading to World War II. Japan’s war against China in the 1930s employed bombs that specifically targeted civilians. In 1940, the German Luftwaffe razed large sections of Rotterdam through aerial bombardment. The escalation of tactics, material, and destruction continued from 1940–1945 with numerous cities turning to rubble. For one week in July 1943, a combined operation by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the American Eighth Air Force systematically destroyed Hamburg. Several factors influenced Hamburg’s destruction. First, the city was a hub of manufacturing and shipbuilding. Its location near the coast meant that Allied bombers had little resistance from the ground. Also, Hamburg was one of five “Fuhrer Cities,” designated for massive construction projects that would demonstrate the power of the Third Reich.
Disembark in Dover and transfer to London for an examination of the Battle of Britain. During the summer of 1940, the Royal Air Force dueled the Luftwaffe over the skies of the United Kingdom. As the British population sought refuge in bomb shelters, the RAF developed numerous tactics to keep the damage from German bombers to a minimum. Journey into the operations of Fighter Command with visits to the Battle of Britain Bunker in Uxbridge and Bentley Priory. The underground control room in Uxbridge served as the main information center for approaching aircraft. Information from radar and coastal observers would be tracked on the plotting table as an ingenious system of clocks and switchboards relayed the information to Fighter Command Headquarters at Bentley Priory.
On this two-day tour of Hamburg, visit St. Nikolai Church, preserved for more than 80 years in its state of wartime destruction. Several massive flak towers dot the city, evidence of the German efforts to combat the Allied Bombers. Ohlsdorf Cemetery, one of the largest in the world, contains a mass grave to the victims of the attack overlooked by a statue showing the crossing of the River Styx.
The air war comes into context at the Imperial War Museum, where new exhibitions on World War II and the Holocaust opened in 2021. In the new displays, a V-1 flying bomb straddles the galleries to emphasize it as a product of slave labor and its role in terrorizing the British population during World War II. As the RAF learned to tip the missiles with the wings of a Spitfire, the Germans unleashed the V-2 rocket, a weapon that caused more death through its production than its use in combat.

Hamburg, Germany
EMBARKATION: HAMBURG
The voyage begins in the city where the bomber war reached a pinnacle in July 1943. For nearly a week, British and American bombers pounded the city “‘round the clock.” Firestorms ripped through the city, creating a refugee crisis that shocked Germany. The invincibility of the Nazi regime was shaken as stories of the city’s destruction spread with the fleeing citizens. Keith Lowe provides commentary on Operation Gomorrah during a special presentation this evening. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (R, D) MAY 30, 2024

Every five years, people travel from across the world to pay their respects to the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the D-Day operation. Moving tributes, inspirational speeches, and emotional moments are the hallmarks of this day. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D) JUNE 7, 2024 John McManus with guests at the D-Day 75th Anniversary Commemoration
DAY 5 GREAT YARMOUTH
Imperial War Museum Duxford is the UK’s largest aviation museum. Aircraft restoration and maintenance takes place on site, allowing visitors to view vintage planes in various stages of display or readiness. The American Air Museum occupies a large space on the Its campus. With displays focusing on the Americans in World War II and after, this museum is a slice of American history in the east of England. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D)
DAY 8 CHERBOURG | OMAHA BEACH
The men who faced the landing at Omaha Beach knew that they faced formidable terrain. Backed by a steep 100-foot bluff, Omaha Beach favored the German defenders. Along the western sector of the beach, the 29th Division faced intense German firepower that opened up as soon as the ramps on their Higgins Boats dropped. Toward the east, the 1st Infantry Division faced similar firepower from positions such as WN-62. Through several gaps in the defenses, the first Americans began to scale the bluffs. One by one, the German guns started to fall silent, and Omaha Beach was ready for unloading operations by the next morning. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D) JUNE 6, 2024
DAY 4 GREAT YARMOUTH
From 1942-1945, the east of England was the most heavily trafficked air space in the world. Airfields popped up every few miles, creating miniature cities populated with young American flyers and the ground crews that sustained them. Dubbed “The Friendly Invasion,” this influx of Americans transformed this rural landscape. Those who are alive today and still remember the presence of the aircrews have lovingly restored many of the control towers, runways, and Nissen huts, turning them into small museums. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D)
DAY 7 LE HAVRE | THE BRITISH SIDE OF D-DAY
Arriving in Normandy, begin the tour of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. The British and Canadians landed on the three eastern-most beaches, Sword, Juno, and Gold, while the 6th Airborne Division secured vital bridges and neutralized several German gun batteries. Just after midnight on June 6, 1944, three British gliders under the command of Major John Howard scored the first Allied victory of the day at a bridge soon to be known as Pegasus Bridge. Along the coast, troops fought their way on shore and moved toward the highway connecting Caen and Bayeux. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D)
DAY 3 AMSTERDAM
After the Netherlands fell in 1940, the oppression by the Nazi regime clamped down on Dutch society. The country’s Jewish population was forced into hiding as the Nazis deported Jews to the death camps. The Diary of Anne Frank tells just one family’s story during their time in hiding. Throughout the country, thousands of Jewish families fled into hiding with fears of discovery or betrayal. On a canal cruise of the city and a visit the Dutch Resistance Museum, learn more about the families who went into hiding and the Dutch citizens who chose to collaborate or resist. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D)
From May 27 to June 4, 1940, the British Expeditionary Force mounted Operation Dynamo, a dramatic evacuation of Allied soldiers who were trapped by the Nazis near the beaches of Dunkirk. Augmented by air support over the English Channel, hundreds of ships ferried nearly 340,000 British and French soldiers away from Dunkirk to ports in England. The 2017 film Dunkirk dramatized this rescue with points of view from the beaches, the English Channel, and the cockpit of a Spitfire. On tour, visit the evacuation beaches, the East Mole, and a few of the film sites. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D) JUNE 4, 2024
DAY 2 AT SEA
Settle in aboard the Seabourn Ovation during a day at sea. Discussions with the featured cruise historians will highlight the journey to come. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D) MAY 31, 2024
A German concrete bunker, part of Hitlers Atlantic Wall, at Dunkirk, France
DAY 6 DUNKIRK
The capture of Cherbourg was a primary objective for the Americans who landed at Utah Beach and for the paratroopers who seized the bridges, causeways, and crossroads. In towns and villages such as Sainte-Mere-Eglise, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, La Fière, Amfreville, and Picauville, heroic actions paved the way for the eventual capture of Cherbourg. The first Americans to enter the port city, found the docks in disarray. Engineers arrived shortly after the front-line soldiers, and repairs put the port into operation by August 1944. This evening, sail across the English Channel back to England. Accommodations: Seabourn Ovation (B, L, D) JUNE 8, 2024

HEALTH, MEDICAL, AND TOUR REQUIREMENTS Destinations with accessibility limitations are indicated throughout the itinerary, where applicable.

All guests are required to advise in writing to the Museum at the time their reservation is made if they have: • Any physical or mental condition that may require medical or professional treatment or attention during the tour; • Any condition that may pose a risk to one’s self and/or other participants on tour; • Any condition that may require health aids, e.g., oxygen, walkers, crutches, etc.; or any intention or need to use a wheelchair while on the tour. 22 • WW2MUSEUMTOURS.ORG
