THE ASSOCIATION OF JUNIOR LEAGUES INTERNATIONAL 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY FROM THE D-DAY BEACHES TO THE LIBERATION OF PARIS May 26 through June 2, 2019 *with a pre-cruise optional extension in Paris

THE ASSOCIATION OF JUNIOR LEAGUES INTERNATIONAL 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY Paris to Normandy FROM THE D-DAY BEACHES TO THE LIBERATION OF PARIS This 75th Anniversary of D-Day Tour, commemorating the Allied invasion of Normandy, promises to be a memorable occasion in many ways. With the number of WWII veterans decreasing rapidly, it may be one of the last times we are able to share their heroic experiences in the exact places that witnessed their bravery. You will walk the sands of Omaha Beach stirred by the memories of the young men who came ashore under fire in June of 1944, then visit the town squares, woods and fields where the paratroopers landed in the predawn hours on 6 June. We will honor and pay tribute to our fallen heroes at the American Cemetery. Cruise from Paris through Normandy s countryside, uncovering its many charms: Richard the Lionheart s Château Gaillard, the medieval capital of Rouen, Monet s beloved home in Giverny and the famed Normandy beaches as well as Bayeux and the Bayeux Tapestry. We will experience a different side of Northern France s history with a choice to tour two majestic palaces, Versailles, once home to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, or Château de Malmaison, once home to Napoleon s first empress, Josephine. This year, Uniworld s newest Ship S.S. Joie de Vivre will bring the joy of living to the rivers of France. Step aboard your floating pied-à-terre in France, featuring handcrafted furniture and fine antiques, original artwork, and signature accents inspired by 20th-century Parisian design from the Golden Twenties to the free-spirited Sixties, all blending seamlessly with modern conveniences.

FROM THE D-DAY BEACHES TO THE LIBERATION OF PARIS DAY 1: Paris (Embark) Arrive at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship. DAY 2: La Roche-Guyon, Vernon (Giverny) Today is a celebration of Northern France s natural beauty, with an excursion to a splendid château and gardens situated in an equally grand setting, plus a chance to immerse yourself in the very landscapes that inspired Impressionist master Claude Monet. Visit the hilltop Château La Roche-Guyon, surrounded by beautiful gardens and offering sweeping views over the Seine. Later, you can visit the home and gardens of Impressionist master Claude Monet the inspiration DAY 4: Caudebec-en-Caux (Honfleur or Étretat) Honfleur is a port and fishing town on the coast of Normandy, in northern France, sitting on the mouth of the Seine River and directly across from Le Havre. Honfleur escaped major damage from World War II and D-Day in particular, is five centuries older than Le Havre, and is noted as one of Normandy's most picturesque and historic coastal towns. Playing golf on a river cruise? This delightfully unexpected excursion a Uniworld exclusive features a dramatic links course for many of his most beloved works. Or, take in the beautiful French countryside in a more invigorating way, with a guided bike ride from Vernon to Giverny. DAY 3: Rouen (Normandy Beaches) Walk in the footsteps of greatness in Normandy s medieval capital, a city with a historic quarter that remains amazingly intact. From the cathedral Monet painted dozens of times to the cross marking to spot where Joan of Arc was martyred, Rouen is a treasure trove for the culturally curious. The medieval capital of Normandy, Rouen has managed to preserve much of its historic core, despite being turned into a battlefield numerous times. The roll call of famous people who lived or died in Rouen is long and varied Richard the Lionheart, Joan of Arc, Gustave Flaubert and Claude Monet are among them. *The Association of Junior Leagues International exclusive: An additional D-Day excursion will be available today. set atop Normandy s Alabaster Coast or stroll through seaside Honfleur, captured on canvas by generations of artists. Caudebec, a lovely little town on a serene loop of the Seine, is your base for one of two very different excursions. You could drive through the beautiful Calvados countryside to Honfleur, a delightful seaside harbor and city of painters, or head to the windy cliffs of Étretat for a game of golf. DAY 5: Rouen (Normandy Beaches) The Normandy coast will forever be associated with the Allies D-Day invasion, a day that comes vividly to

Immerse yourself in the tactics, desperate courage and horrendous human cost of the 1944 Allied invasion of France, the first step in the ultimately victorious land campaign against the Third Reich. It began here, on these Norman beaches, each of which was assigned a code name by the Allies as they planned their attack. DAY 6: Mantes-la-Jolie (Versailles) How did France s rulers live over the centuries? Step into the private rooms of either the Palace of Versailles, the lavish palace built by the Sun King, or Château de Uniworld s newest Super Ship S.S.
