The remaining balance is due 90 days prior to departure.
Reservations not paid in full by the final payment deadline may be cancelled, and applicable cancellation terms may apply.

Hosted Mission Itinerary
The D-Day 83 Hosted Mission includes privately coordinated experiences, exclusive venues, museums, commemorative ceremonies, ferry transportation, hotels, guest speakers, and other programming.
While every effort will be made to deliver the itinerary as published, Tours of Duty reserves the right to modify accommodations, transportation, schedules, guest speakers, venues, museums, ferry crossings, commemorative events, or other programming due to weather, operational requirements, government restrictions, security considerations, transportation disruptions, venue availability, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Comparable experiences may be substituted when appropriate.
Such changes do not constitute grounds for cancellation or refund.
Physical Requirements
The Hosted Mission is designed as an immersive historical experience and includes extended walking, uneven terrain, historic battlefields, stairs, ferry travel, outdoor commemorative events, and periods of standing.
Participants are responsible for determining whether the Hosted Mission is appropriate for their individual physical abilities and medical needs.
Guests requiring special accommodations are encouraged to contact Tours of Duty prior to making a reservation.
Travel Documentation
Participants are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining a valid passport and satisfying all entry requirements for the United Kingdom and France.
Failure to obtain the required travel documentation does not constitute grounds for refund.
Airfare
Unless specifically stated otherwise, airfare is not included in the Hosted Mission package.
Participants are encouraged not to purchase non-refundable airline tickets until Tours of Duty confirms the Hosted Mission.
Travel Insurance
Because this Hosted Mission involves international travel and significant advance commitments, comprehensive travel insurance—including Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, and Medical coverage—is strongly recommended.
Tours of Duty is not responsible for losses resulting from a participant’s decision not to purchase travel insurance.
Guest Speakers & Special Programming
Retired flag officers, military leaders, historians, museum professionals, subject matter experts, and special guests are invited to participate based upon their availability.
While every effort will be made to present the published program, appearances remain subject to operational commitments, travel schedules, and unforeseen circumstances.
Photography & Media
Tours of Duty photographers and videographers may document portions of the Hosted Mission for historical, educational, and promotional purposes.
By participating, guests consent to the use of photographs and video in which they may appear unless they notify Tours of Duty in writing prior to the Hosted Mission.
Alcohol Service
Alcohol may be served during select Hosted Mission events.
Participants are expected to consume alcoholic beverages responsibly and comply with all applicable laws and venue policies.
Tours of Duty reserves the right to refuse alcohol service or remove any participant whose conduct compromises the safety, dignity, or enjoyment of the Hosted Mission.
Participant Conduct
The D-Day 83 Hosted Mission is built upon professionalism, mutual respect, and remembrance.
Tours of Duty reserves the right to remove any participant whose behavior is disruptive, abusive, unsafe, unlawful, or inconsistent with the character of the Hosted Mission.
No refund will be provided in such circumstances.
Minimum Participation
Hosted Mission programming is based upon minimum participation requirements.
Should Tours of Duty determine that minimum participation has not been met, participants will be offered either:
- A full refund of all amounts paid directly to Tours of Duty, or
- The opportunity to transfer their reservation to a future Hosted Mission.
Force Majeure
Tours of Duty shall not be liable for delays, cancellations, itinerary modifications, or losses resulting from events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, severe weather, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, government actions, transportation disruptions, ferry cancellations, labor disputes, supplier failures, museum closures, military operational requirements, commemorative event changes, or other circumstances outside Tours of Duty’s control.
Hosted Mission Nature
The D-Day 83 Hosted Mission is a privately organized commemorative experience designed and hosted by Tours of Duty.
Tours of Duty coordinates accommodations, transportation, historical programming, commemorative events, and exclusive experiences through a network of carefully selected partners and service providers. While every effort is made to deliver an exceptional experience, certain services are provided by independent organizations operating under their own policies and operational requirements.
