This past Monday, we had the honor of hosting Mr. Abraham Lurie, a 102-year-old WWII veteran, on an extraordinary shore excursion while docked in Cherbourg, France. Originally from Brooklyn, Abraham served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946, stationed in England, France, and Belgium. During the WWII invasion, his unit landed at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France, where he served as Quartermaster. In a heartfelt moment for Abraham, we had the privilege of taking him back to Omaha Beach and visiting the American Cemetery, where the fallen soldiers are honored and remembered. As a tribute to his service, an American flag was presented to Mr. Lurie following a special flag-lowering ceremony. Creating unforgettable moments like these for our guests is what we cherish most. Thank you, Mr. Lurie, for allowing us to share this meaningful day with you and thank you to our wonderful crew and tour partners for making this day possible. #MoreToSea #Azamara #cruiseindustry
