Here, quaint villages and rugged coastlines are alive with the evocative melodies of traditional music and the warmth of local hospitality weaves a spell of Celtic charm, inviting you to lose yourself in the poetic beauty of the Emerald Isle.

Cork, Ireland's spirited second city, enchants with its vibrant cultural scene – the melodic hum of traditional Irish music drifting onto the streets from its iconic pubs. The River Lee gracefully winds its way through the city’s heart, reflecting the colourful facades of Georgian buildings as grand cathedrals tower overhead. The aroma of fresh local produce and the warm chatter of vendors emanates from the bustling English Market, while beyond the city limits, Western Europe’s most concentrated collection of ancient structures awaits. Cork's blend of historic charm and modern energy invites you to immerse yourself in its rich heritage and dynamic Irish spirit.

The ancient city of Dublin welcomes us today, a city where history and modernity coexist in perfect harmony, inviting you to wander through its lively streets, where the echoes of literary giants still linger. The River Liffey glistens under ancient stone bridges, drifting past riverbanks where a millennium of succeeding waves of Gaelic, Viking, Norman and English invaders have left their indelible mark. In the heart of Dublin, the historic Trinity College and the majestic Book of Kells offer a glimpse into Ireland's rich intellectual heritage, while the bustling Temple Bar district buzzes with the laughter and camaraderie of lively pubs and street performers. It’s easy to drink in Dublin’s history with its cobbled streets and classic pubs.

DAY 9 Explore Belfast (Northern Ireland)

Northern Ireland - a land where rugged coastlines meet emerald pastures - enchants with its dramatic landscapes and the ethereal beauty of the Giant's Causeway's ancient basalt columns. Amidst the rolling hills and serene lakes, the echoes of folklore and the warmth of its people create a tapestry of mystique and heartfelt hospitality, inviting you to explore its timeless charm and storied past.

Belfast, a city of resilience and renewal, greets you with its vibrant streets where historic shipyards echo tales of the Titanic and the spirit of innovation - while murals of the Falls and Shankill Roads speak of its complex history. By night, the shimmering lights along the River Lagan reflect a city embracing its future, offering a captivating blend of culture, warmth and unyielding spirit.

Perhaps begin your adventure with a visit to the Titanic Belfast Museum, an immersive experience sharing the story of the iconic ship, built right here in the city's docks.

Welcome to Scotland. Today explore the land of misty lochs, fairytale castles, traditional tweed, bagpipes and whiskey as we disembark our ship into Greenock and enjoy the full evening here. You could choose to visit Glasgow, the lochs or discover the Scottish west coast around Greenock.

Glasgow is alive with metropolitan and cultural vivacity; its idiosyncratic blend of modern sophistication and working-class authenticity bestow it an edgy and enigmatic ambiance. A spirited buzz envelopes the towering church spires and rows of sandstone terraces that make up the city centre; dotted with friendly pubs, acclaimed galleries and museums and the sublime art nouveau architecture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Perhaps slip into the beat of Glasgow’s lively bars and exceptional restaurants. Discover the renowned museums and galleries which are reputed to be some of the best in Britain. Stop in to explore the showcase Burrell Collection or the palatial Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Maybe take a stroll down the historic city streets showcasing impressive architecture - from the restored eighteenth-century warehouses of the Merchant City to the tremendous Victorian prosperity of George Square. Admire the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose elegantly Art Nouveau designs appear all over the city, reaching their pinnacle in the stunning School of Art.

Beyond the spirited streetscapes of Glasgow you have the chance to walk in the footsteps of Scotland’s brave hearted National Hero within the historic city of Stirling – a wee city with a big history. Perhaps take the chance to admire the breathtaking views from Stirling Castle's hill-top esplanade towards the National Wallace Monument on the edge of the rolling Ochil Hills - set above the fields where William Wallace led his troops to victory at The Battle of Stirling Bridge. Turn to inhale the fresh crisp air and the splendour of the mountain peaks of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.

Greenock is as Scottish as they come; this historic port city has grown from a humble fishing village into the first dock on the Clyde. Its notable west end retains exquisite examples of Victorian era buildings including the 245-foot Victoria Tower which remains peculiarly incomplete.

Ensure you take time to round off the perfect Scottish day with a sip of single-malt whiskey to evoke all the complexity and flavour of this legendary country; her national heroes, historic battlegrounds, ancient castles, misty lochs, windswept moors and glens that glow purple in the summer light.

DAY 13 Explore Orkney Islands (Kirkwall, Scotland)

There’s a magic to the Scottish Orkney Islands that you begin to feel as soon as you step ashore. With its beautiful otherworldly landscapes, ancient standing stones and prehistoric villages, the Orkney Islands are magnificently unique and fiercely independent. The archipelago’s bustling main port town of Kirkwall dates back to the 11th century, its strong Viking heritage is still felt today amidst its narrow, twisting wynds and atmospheric paved streets - lined with everything from cathedrals to whiskey breweries. For an Orcadian, the Mainland means the largest island in Orkney rather than the rest of Scotland, and their history is inextricably linked with Scandinavia.

The Ancient Norse town, Kirkwall is the largest town in the Orkneys. Divided into two main focal points: the old harbour and the flagstoned main street - which changes its name four times as it twists its way from the harbour past the world-renowned cathedral. Kirkwall’s red sandstone cathedral commenced being built in 1137 and is without a doubt the finest medieval building in the north of Scotland - standing at the very heart of Kirkwall, St Magnus Cathedral is the town’s most compelling sight. To the south of the cathedral are the remains of the Bishop’s Palace, residence of the Bishop of Orkney since the twelfth century.

Perhaps step back more than 5000 years in time to the earliest henge monument in the British Isles at the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site. The four enormous Stones of Stenness are all that remain of a great stone circle that originally held 12 stones on an ancient ceremonial and ritual site - the focus of the interior - a large hearth. Maybe visit Western Europe’s best preserved and compelling Neolithic settlement, the world-renowned Skara Brae. Inhabited before the Egyptian Pyramids and Stone Henge were built - the site presents an extraordinary image of life around 5,000 years ago. Encounter a vivid display of a prehistoric village and see ancient homes fitted with stone bed enclosures, dressers and seats.

Ensure you take time to indulge in the authentic local cuisine of the Orkney Islands – dominated by the exquisite flavours of Orkney Lamb - the unique North Ronaldsay sheep fed a diet of seaweed to produce a prized unique taste. Orkney beef is also world renowned for its distinctive texture, tenderness and full flavour and Orkney cheddar utilises an exclusive production method called 'dry-stir' - the diversity of food and drink on offer in Orkney is truly remarkable.

Arrive into Kirkwall at 7am for an extraordinary day on the Orkney Islands before setting sail again at 6pm. You can spend a fascinating day exploring this ancient destination your own way – or perhaps take one of the optional tours like A Discovery Exclusive – Ultimate Orkney ($345), Ring of Brodgar, Skara Brae & Skaill House ($155), Ancient Standing Stones ($100), West Mainland Sightseeing ($95), Local Connections: Gin Tasting & Kirkwall Walking Tour ($315), Orkney Island Drive ($105), St. Magnus Cathedral & Earl’s Palace Walk ($75), or Nature Reserve Walk ($180).

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, overnight Regal/Majestic Princess

DAY 14 Explore Edinburgh (South Queensferry, Scotland)

Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, with fairytale streetscapes, draped across a series of rocky hills overlooking the sea. It radiates a whimsical charm that begs to be discovered. Majestic Edinburgh castle, birthplace of the original Edinburgh Military Tattoo, stands watch over the historic town’s enchanting jumble of medieval laneways. JK Rowling famously penned the first Harry Potter novel here, so you may find some parts of the city strangely familiar. We disembark our magnificent ship just outside of Edinburgh at South Queensferry, a charming town with cobbled streets, quaint shops and breathtaking views of the iconic Forth Bridges standing proudly against the Scottish sky.

You could begin your journey today through the enchanting streetscapes of Edinburgh and into the footsteps of soldiers, kings and queens at the iconic Edinburgh Castle, perched atop an ancient volcanic rock with an intriguing history dating back to the Iron Age. You may choose to wander down the Royal Mile (historic sites, quaint shops and traditional pubs), head to the medieval town of St. Andrews (ancestral ‘Home of Golf’), explore the site where Robert the Bruce commanded his troops in 1314 near Stirling (Bannockburn Heritage Centre & Stirling Castle), dive into the literary world at the Writers' Museum or discover the wonders of the National Museum of Scotland. Alternatively, for a taste of the local spirit, a tour of the Scotch Whisky Experience provides an insightful and delightful introduction to Scotland's famed whisky. Perhaps hike up Arthur's Seat (extinct volcano providing breathtaking vistas), explore the charming streets of the Old Town or simply enjoy a relaxing stroll through the beautiful Princes Street Gardens.

Arrive into South Queensferry at 8am for a full day before setting sail again at 7pm. You can spend a fascinating day exploring Glasgow your own way – or perhaps take one of the optional tours like Best of Edinburgh ($310), Edinburgh, Floors Castle & Dryburgh Abbey ($285), Glamis Castle & St. Andrews ($185), Edinburgh City Drive & Time On Your Own ($180), Edinburgh On Your Own ($135), St. Andrews – Home of Golf ($130), Edinburgh Castle & City Drive ($210), Braveheart Country & Stirling Castle ($170), Easy Edinburgh & National Museum ($120), Local Connections: Whiskey & Bagpipes with Local Expert ($235), Mary King’s Close ($180), or Royal Mile Walking Tour ($135).

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, overnight Regal/Majestic Princess

DAY 16 Explore Paris or Le Havre region (France)

Today discover the romance of Paris or the history and beauty of the Normandy region. France ignites images of mesmerising fields of endless lavender, sparkling beaches and rolling vineyard clad hillsides winding their way amongst world renowned cityscapes and snow dusted alpine villages. Here, a unique style of luxury encompasses cathedral crowned cities and quaint cobblestone villages alike, as champagne flutes clink in ancient cellars, monuments line the boulevards and iconic artwork seduces enamoured travellers the country over.

Perhaps visit Paris to immerse yourself in the dreamy romance of this iconic city. There is always so much to experience in this radiant capital - monument-lined boulevards, museums, classical bistros and boutiques are complemented by a new wave of hip urban culture. The River Seine flows through the heart of the city, its banks peppered with enticing book sellers and irresistible market stalls. Be swept away by the elegance and grandeur of Paris - the special splendour of the Champs-Élysées – known as "the most beautiful avenue in the world" and the phenomenal Eiffel Tower. Relish your time here to explore the area around Place de la Concorde and choose your favourite French Café to indulge in a glorious array of seductive French cuisine.

Maybe uncover the streets of Le Havre - a world heritage protected love letter to modernism, this city optimises France’s post war energy and optimism - rebuilt after WWII, its striking facades designed by visionary architect Auguste Perret are spectacular. Perhaps wander the elegant streets of this historic port city, treat yourself with a visit to the Andre Malraux Museum, with its world-class collection that includes works of well-known impressionists’ painters such as Dufy, Monet, Renoir, Bonnard, Gauguin and Sisley or simply relax and sink your toes into one of the cities long and beautiful beaches. Le Havre translates to ‘the harbour’ and reflects the status of this maritime city which also boasts the oldest sailing club in France.

Perhaps step back in time to absorb the abundant history on display in Rouen – considered to be the historical capital of Normandy. See the so-called Gros Horloge - an astronomical clock from the 16th century, the Roman Catholic Rouen Cathedral and the "Place du Vieux Marché", the site where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake, at the centre of which stands the modern Church of Saint Joan of Arc. Possibly join the pilgrimage across the glorious Normandy countryside to Mont Saint Michel - where Archangel Michael appeared to the bishop of Avranches in the early VIII century. Perhaps take a sombre journey to Ranville, home to a British Cemetery where 2154 British soldiers were laid to rest in the aftermath of D-Day and continue on to view beaches which were the unforgettable site of the historic Normandy Landings. Maybe journey a little further afield to the beautiful seaside town of Étretat - admire the grandeur of the high white cliffs, marvel at the spectacular natural arches and the intriguing formation known as "The Needle". Or discover the enchanting tiny town of Honfleur - known for its picturesque harbour, narrow streets with delightfully preserved slate-covered buildings and the superb Sainte-Catherine Church - France's largest church made entirely of wood.
