Scotland & Ireland Cruise: Glasgow, Dublin & Belfast

• Day 1-2 Leith

  To discover Edinburgh take a walk down The Royal Mile for Edinburgh Castle, the Stone of Destiny and the Palace of Holyroodhouse; but for those itching to get out on the links, there’s no better place than this.

• Day 3 Aberdeen

  Urban life and natural splendor intersect in the Granite City's stunning green spaces, lush Victorian gardens, ornate architecture, and sandy beaches.

• Day 4 Invergordon

  Take a superb natural setting of mountains, waterfalls and serene lochs (and add one sea monster), pepper the landscape with castles, toss in a trail of whiskey distilleries and there you have it: Invergordon.

• Day 5 Lerwick, Shetland Islands

  Secluded and seaswept, the Shetland Islands are home to a unique blend of Scandinavian and Scottish culture. Rocky cliffs and rich farmland are yours to explore over 100 islands that embrace a slower, more authentic pace of life.

• Day 6 Kirkwall, Orkney Islands

  The 70 islands of Orkney are a pleasing, gently rolling panorama of fields, heather-cloaked moors and lakes, while the imposing St. Magnus Cathedral dominates Kirkwall, the main town linking east and west.

• Day 7 Ullapool

  Boasting a dramatic landscape of hills, glens, beaches, and waterfalls, Ullapool is one picturesque fishing village. It’s known as the gateway to the Northern Highlands, but with its natural wonder, fascinating history, rich culture, and fresh seafood, why not stay?

• Day 8 Oban

  Under the craggy, emerald peaks of the Scottish Highlands lies a tiny port town with a heart for adventure. Gaelic for “little bay”, Oban is a captivating getaway that fulfills your every dream of Scotland.

• Day 9 Greenock

  Glasgow is a lively and cosmopolitan city, making a name as a vibrant center of 21st century design, set against a background of exceptional Victorian architecture, state-of-the-art towers and ubiquitous pubs.

• Day 10 Douglas

  The tiny Isle of Man has quite a lot to offer for its size, and Douglas’ lovely sea front is lined with picturesque hotels and restaurants, and can be traversed by horse-drawn trams as it has been since 1876.

• Day 11-12 Dublin

  Dublin offers a wealth of historic sites dating back to a 1,000-year-old Viking village (including pubs that are almost as old), and as one might expect of the Irish, there is a tale to be told about every one.

• Day 13 Waterford

  The Vikings who founded Waterford in 914 were not the first settlers here, with Neolithic stones and megalithic tombs a testament to much older cultures; of course, Waterford is now famous for its glassworks.

• Day 14 Cobh

  The seaside town of Cobh is known for its great maritime heritage and history and is renowned as the last port of call for RMS Titanic-and since that fateful day in 1912, it has remained largely unchanged.

• Day 15 Bantry

  Immortalized in a popular Irish folk song, Bantry Bay is one of Ireland’s most captivating seaside scenes. Postcard-perfect towns abound, and nature’s wonder is full display around every turn. Part of the breathtaking Wild Atlantic Way, the region’s stunning coastal beauty is matched only by the authentic, warm welcome you’ll receive from friendly locals.

  Halfway down the majestic River Shannon. Foynes is a port with its fair share of aviation and culinary history. Plus, it provides easy access to Ireland’s charming countryside & the city of Limerick.

• Day 18 Killybegs

  On the banks of the River Eske in the shadow of the Blue Stack Mountains lies Donegal, an authentically Irish village where great chieftains once ruled the countryside.

  In the early 1900’s Belfast had the world’s largest shipyard; now the city and riverfront are undergoing a transformation, but many Victorian and Edwardian buildings still sport the carved heads of royalty.

• Day 23 Portsmouth

  Step into the vibrant city of Portsmouth. Explore iconic ships like the HMS Victory at the National Musuem of the Royal Navy. Or wander through Gunwharf Quays, a lively waterfront destination filled with designer outlets and trendy restaurants.
