FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Practical, accessibility, weather, ticketing. If your question is not listed here, please write to us via the contact page.
How long does the immersive tour last?
The immersive tour itself lasts about 45 minutes on the water. Allow a half-day in total at Arromanches to combine it with a visit to the D-Day Landing Museum, the 360° circular cinema and the open-air exhibits on the beach.
Is there an age limit?
The immersive tour is open to all ages. Adult ticket from age 12, child ticket ages 2 to 11, free for under 2. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Is the boat wheelchair accessible?
The vessel is reached from the Cale Neptune slipway via a 2-step access ramp with handrail. Wheelchair users must therefore be able to stand up from their wheelchair in order to board. A crew member will assist if needed.
What happens in bad weather?
Safety first. If weather conditions make the tour impossible (wind, sea state, fog), the immersive tour is cancelled and either rescheduled or fully refunded. The decision is taken by the master of the vessel, usually on the morning itself.
Is the commentary available in English?
Yes. The historical commentary is delivered through headphones in a bilingual French and English audioguide format. You listen at your own pace, in your own language.
Will I get seasick?
The immersive tour stays within the amphitheatre of the artificial harbour and runs along the coast. Navigation is coastal and calm most of the time. The boat does not go offshore. For passengers who are particularly prone to seasickness, taking a suitable medication before boarding remains a sensible precaution.
Where exactly do I board?
Boarding takes place at the Cale Neptune slipway in Arromanches-les-Bains.
Where can I park?
Several public car parks are available in Arromanches-les-Bains, near the seawall and the D-Day Landing Museum.
Can the immersive tour be privately chartered for a group?
You can submit a private charter request via the groups contact form.
What should I bring?
Weather-appropriate clothing (a windbreaker is sensible in any season), closed and comfortable shoes. No bulky luggage. A camera if you wish: the view from the water is worth the picture.
Is the commentary available in German?
The audioguide is planned in French and English at launch. Extension to German is being studied for 2027 depending on demand.
When does the booking open?
Official ticketing is expected to open in June 2026.
