Cruise overview

Set off to discover the wild and melancholic lands of the British archipelagos and Celtic shores. During this cruise, nature will reveal itself in all its raw and captivating splendour: steep cliffs, windswept beaches, verdant moors and secret gardens come together to compose a landscape of mystical beauty. On each port of call, the ancient heritage of the sites is embodied through the Viking vestiges, the ruins of forgotten castles, villages of authentic charm and welcoming cities. A real journey back into time, into the heart of nature steeped in legends.

Itinerary

Day 1

Honfleur


Honfleur, the most picturesque of the Côte Fleurie’s seaside towns, is a time-burnished place with a surplus of half-timber houses and cobbled streets that are lined with a stunning selection of stylish boutiques. Much of its Renaissance architecture remains intact—especially around the 17th-century Vieux Bassin harbor, where the water is fronted on one side by two-story stone houses with low, sloping roofs and on the other by tall slate-topped houses with wooden facades. Maritime expeditions (including some of the first voyages to Canada) departed from here; later, Impressionists were inspired to capture it on canvas. But the town as a whole has become increasingly crowded since the Pont de Normandie opened in 1995. Providing a direct link with Upper Normandy, the world’s sixth-largest cable-stayed bridge is supported by two concrete pylons taller than the Eiffel Tower and designed to resist winds of 257 kph (160 mph).
