CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

St Mary's, Isles of Scilly
A world apart just off the Cornish coast, St Mary’s is the largest of the Isles of Scilly - a place of quiet lanes, golden beaches and soft sea breezes. Walk the historic Garrison Walls, explore the treasures of the Isles of Scilly Museum, or take a boat trip to nearby islands teeming with seabirds and wildflowers. Enjoy the subtropical gardens, scenic coastal paths and gentle pace of island life. This is England, softened by sea and sky.

St Peter Port
Elegant and full of charm, St Peter Port blends British character with continental ease. Explore the historic Castle Cornet, stroll through the formal gardens of Candie Gardens, or visit Hauteville House, once home to writer Victor Hugo. Cobbled lanes lead to boutique shops and harbourfront cafés, while coastal paths offer sweeping sea views. With a mix of heritage, beauty and slow island rhythm, Guernsey’s capital is both lively and laid-back.

Honfleur
Honfleur feels like a painting brought gently to life. Tall, narrow houses lean into the old harbour, their reflections rippling across the water as cafés and galleries line the quayside. Wander cobbled streets once walked by the Impressionists, visit wooden St Catherine’s Church, or pause with coffee as boats drift in and out. There’s a romance here that rewards lingering rather than rushing. Honfleur is intimate, atmospheric and quietly enchanting.
