Norway and Scottish Highlights Itinerary
Day 1
Hull

Embark Ocean Countess

Days 2-3
Honfleur

This pretty little town, at the mouth of the River Seine, makes a perfect finale to a spectacular cruise. The old harbour and marina are just delightful and the narrow streets and alleys of the old quarter are little changed since French medieval times. Claude Monet's famous garden at Givenchy, the Normandy Landings beaches and even the Bayeux Tapestry are all within reach.

Day 4
St Peter Port, Guernsey

The cobbled streets and relaxed style of Guernsey's picturesque main town introduce you to the unique Channel Islands. Certainly more Anglo than French, but with enough 'je ne sais quoi' to make you think otherwise. Guernsey has a captivating island history, wonderful beaches, miles of coastal walks and tax-free shopping for the less energetic!

Day 5
Dunkirk
Day 6
Amsterdam

With its 60 miles of tree-lined canals, countless gabled 17th and 18th century townhouses and thousands of bicycles, Holland's historic capital will delight you. Visit some of the superb art galleries and famous museums including the Rijksmuseum and Vincent Van Gogh Museum.

Day 7
