CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Cobh
Rows of candy-coloured houses are just one of the many reasons why Cobh, Ireland is such a charming place to visit. Fascinating historic sites and warm Irish hospitality are standout features of this picturesque port town.

St Mary's
Situated just off the Cornish coast, St. Mary's is the largest and most populous of the Isles of Scilly. Over 30 miles of nature trails intersect the island, guiding wanderers to hidden coves and quiet beaches. The subtle beauty of this British archipelago is perfect for fun or reflection while surrounded by nature.

Plymouth
Plymouth, nestled on England's southwest coast, is a treasure trove of maritime history and seaside allure. Wander the historic Barbican district, stand where the Pilgrims embarked at the Mayflower Steps, explore naval bases like Devonport Dockyard, and take in breathtaking coastal scenery along the English Channel.

Cherbourg
Cherbourg on the Normandy coast has a long and storied relationship with the sea. Tour along coastal promenades, wander through fascinating quayside museums, and indulge in delicious local seafood.
