Overview
Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Liverpool
The Port of Liverpool, a linchpin in maritime lore, is celebrated for its pivotal role during the age of steam and its indelible mark on global trade. The port is well-utilized by cruise lines for its easy access to the city's rich tapestry of music, art, and architectural splendor. Liverpool's temperate climate enhances the appeal, providing mild weather ideal for exploring its many landmarks and vibrant street scenes. This port city offers an authentic slice of English life, replete with historical sites and bustling markets. A unique tidbit: Liverpool's waterfront is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its universal cultural significance.

At sea
Day 3
Portree, Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye ranks near the top of most visitors' priority lists: the romance of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, combined with the misty Cuillin Hills and their proximity to the mainland all contribute to its popularity. Today Skye remains mysterious and mountainous, an island of sunsets that linger brilliantly until late at night and of beautiful, soft mists. Much photographed are the really old crofts, one or two of which are still inhabited, with their thick stone walls and thatch roofs. Orientation on Skye is easy: follow the only roads around the loops on the northern part of the island and enjoy the road running the length of the Sleat Peninsula in southern Skye, taking the loop roads that exit to the north and south as you please. There are some stretches of single-lane road, but none poses a problem.
