Overview
PEARL HARBOR TO HIROSHIMA: AMERICA’S PACIFIC WAR, 1941–45
February 21 - March 3, 2027
This fully guided and immersive trip will explore the people and places of the Pacific Theater from December 1941 to September 1945. We will walk the beaches, explore the towns, and follow the operations from the “infamy” at Pearl Harbor through the jungles of the Marianas – Saipan, Guam and Tinian — to the final climactic battle of Okinawa and the ending at Hiroshima.
The events of 1941-45 continue to inspire long after the guns have fallen silent. This Pacific trip will bring guests to the beaches, cliffs and rugged ridges and fields; and villages, towns and cities where the Greatest Generation made their most indelible mark. From Seamen at Pearl and in the battle of the Philippine Sea; to Airmen on Tinian and above the beachheads; to Marines and Soldiers in intense fighting and brutal slugfests on Saipan’s Purple Heart Ridge and Death Valley and on Okinawa’s Sugar Loaf, Hacksaw Ridge and Shuri castle. Meanwhile banzai and kamikaze attacks threatened disaster at any moment. From Japan we make our onward journeys.
The WWII expedition unfolds over eleven days and ten nights with stories of all the Allied participants as well as those of the Japanese defenders and civilians.
