Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Dover
Dover, famed for its iconic white cliffs, is steeped in a past that stretches back to Roman times, offering visitors a living glimpse into England's strategic importance through the centuries. Cruise lines like Holland America and Princess Cruises frequently utilize Dover as a port of call due to its historical significance and proximity to unique attractions. The temperate climate makes it an ideal stop for exploring the lush landscapes and historic sites at a comfortable pace. Dover Castle, a commanding presence over the town, provides panoramic views and tales of ancient fortifications. A unique tidbit about Dover is its wartime tunnels, hidden beneath the castle, which played a crucial role during World War II.
Day 2
Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a city that's a long way removed from most people's stereotypical notion of the Netherlands. There are few, if any, canals to be found here nor are there any quaint windmills. There is, however, a thriving modern city which is one of the busiest ports in the entire world. </p>
Day 3
At Sea
Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
Day 4
Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
Sat on the rugged coastline of the Isle of Lewis, Stornoway welcomes cruisegoers with tales steeped in Gaelic lore and seafaring traditions. Its history is intertwined with the resilient spirit of its people, from ancient clans to modern-day fishermen. The climate, shaped by the North Atlantic, offers a raw authenticity, with wild winds and dramatic skies painting a vivid backdrop for exploration. Visitors seeking an escape from tourist hotspots find solace in Stornoway's unspoiled landscapes and genuine hospitality. As a unique fact, Stornoway boasts the title of the largest town in the Outer Hebrides, a testament to its significance in Scotland's maritime heritage.
Day 5
Killybegs
Nestled within the rugged coastline of Donegal, Killybegs beckons with tales of maritime glory. Once a bustling fishing port, its storied past intertwines with the salty breeze that sweeps across its shores. Here, amidst the wild beauty of Ireland's northwest, travelers find solace in authenticity, away from the bustling tourist circuits. The climate, shaped by the mighty Atlantic, offers a raw and invigorating experience, ideal for those seeking a true taste of Ireland. As the gateway to the majestic Slieve League cliffs, Killybegs unveils a breathtaking panorama, where land meets sea in a dance of timeless grandeur.
Day 6
Galway
Galway, steeped in the maritime saga of the Claddagh fishermen, welcomes travelers with open arms to its vibrant shores. The temperate climate, kissed by the Atlantic breeze, offers a refreshing escape from the mundane. Here, authenticity thrives, offering cruisegoers an immersive experience beyond the beaten path. Explore the colorful streets pulsating with traditional Irish music and bustling markets, or venture to the rugged Connemara landscape, where tales of ancient folklore echo through misty valleys. As the gateway to the Gaeltacht, Galway proudly preserves the Irish language, a testament to its cultural significance. Don't miss the mystical allure of the Aran Islands, where time stands still amid ancient stone forts and windswept cliffs.
Day 7
Cork
Cork City received its first charter in 1185 from Prince John of Norman England, and it takes its name from the Irish word corcaigh, meaning "marshy place." The original 6th-century settlement was spread over 13 small islands in the River Lee. Major development occurred during the 17th and 18th centuries with the expansion of the butter trade, and many attractive Georgian-design buildings with wide bowfront windows were constructed during this time. As late as 1770 Cork's present-day main streets—Grand Parade, Patrick Street, and the South Mall—were submerged under the Lee. Around 1800, when the Lee was partially dammed, the river divided into two streams that now flow through the city, leaving the main business and commercial center on an island, not unlike Paris's Île de la Cité. As a result, the city has a number of bridges and quays, which, although initially confusing, add greatly to the port's unique character. Cork can be very "Irish" (hurling, Gaelic football, televised plowing contests, music pubs, and peat smoke). But depending on what part of town you're in, Cork can also be distinctly un-Irish—the sort of place where hippies, gays, and farmers drink at the same pub.</p>
Day 8
Douglas
The Isle of Man, situated in the Irish Sea off the west coast of England, is a mountainous, cliff-fringed island and one of Britain’s most beautiful spots. Measuring just 30 miles by 13 miles, the Isle of Man remains semi-autonomous. With its own postage stamps, laws, currency, and the Court of Tynwald (the world’s oldest democratic parliament), the Isle of Man is rich with history and lore.Inhabited from Neolithic times, the island became a refuge for Irish missionaries after the 5th Century. Norsemen took the island during the 9th Century and sold it to Scotland in 1266. However, since the 14th Century, it has been held by England. Manx, the indigenous Celtic language, is still spoken by a small minority. The Isle of Man has no income tax, which has encouraged many Britains to regard the island as a refuge. Otherwise, it is populated by Gaelic farmers, fishermen, and the famous tailless manx cats. The varied landscape features austere moorlands and wooded glens, interspersed by fine castles, narrow-gauge railways, and scores of standing stones with Celtic crosses. The hilly terrain rises to a height of 2,036 feet at Mount Snaefell, which dominates the center of the island.</p>
Day 9
Liverpool
Liverpool, renowned as the birthplace of The Beatles, is a vibrant port city that has long played a central role in maritime history, influencing the world's shipping and music scenes alike. Cruise lines such as Cunard and Royal Caribbean frequently stop here, allowing passengers to soak in its rich musical legacy and architectural grandeur. The city's climate is characteristically mild, providing an inviting atmosphere for exploring its bustling docks and historic buildings. Liverpool offers a genuine slice of British life, with its lively pubs and museums. A unique fact: it boasts more listed buildings than any UK city outside London, showcasing its architectural wealth and historical importance.
Day 10
At Sea
Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
Day 11
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.</p>
Day 12
Invergordon
The port of Invergordon is your gateway to the Great Glen, an area of Scotland that includes Loch Ness and the city of Inverness. Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, has the flavor of a Lowland town, its winds blowing in a sea-salt air from the Moray Firth. The Great Glen is also home to one of the world's most famous monster myths: in 1933, during a quiet news week, the editor of a local paper decided to run a story about a strange sighting of something splashing about in Loch Ness. But there's more to look for here besides Nessie, including inland lochs, craggy and steep-sided mountains, rugged promontories, deep inlets, brilliant purple and emerald moorland, and forests filled with astonishingly varied wildlife, including mountain hares, red deer, golden eagles, and ospreys.</p>
Day 13
Edinburgh
Perched proudly atop rocky crags, Edinburgh welcomes cruisegoers with a rich tapestry of history, from its medieval Old Town to the Georgian elegance of its New Town. Famous for its iconic Edinburgh Castle, which has stood watch over the city for centuries, this storied capital offers a glimpse into Scotland's past like no other. The city's maritime climate adds to its allure, with its ever-changing weather adding a touch of drama to its landscapes. For those seeking an authentic experience, Edinburgh's bustling markets and cozy pubs offer a taste of local life, while the annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe showcases the city's vibrant arts scene, attracting performers and visitors from around the world.
