I have an agent looking into chartering a cruise with The History Guy. This would be a relatively intimate ship- perhaps 100-200 passengers. The plan would be either the East Cost or the Mississippi, and would focus on historical sites along the way. I would do historical presentations as well as mingle personally. Tentatively we would schedule summer or fall of 2024.
At this point I am just gauging interest to see if it is an idea worth pursuing. If you might at all be interested, please respond here and we can start to work on details.

By September of 1944, the Western Allies had broken out of the Normandy beachehead, and suddenly and quickly moved across northern France . By September 7th, the 90th division was stretched across the northern sector on Patton’s Third Army’s left, advancing slowly northeast. As they did so the German defenders made a risky attack in an effort to spoil the allied advance, cutting through Allied lines in a surprise action at the small town of Mairy-Mannville.
