Celtic Shores & the Irish Sea, 27 May 2030

Cruise overview

Embark in London for a journey around Britain and Ireland’s westward coasts, beginning at Portsmouth, where HMS Victory and the Mary Rose recall a thousand years of naval history beneath the soaring Spinnaker Tower. Continue to Fowey, a pastel river port steeped in du Maurier’s Cornwall, then reach the remote Isles of Scilly, where turquoise shallows lap white sand coves and puffins wheel above Tresco’s fabled Abbey Garden. Cross to Ireland at Cobh, Cork’s poignant last port of call for the Titanic, before savoring Kinsale’s yacht-filled harbour beneath Charles Fort and tracing famine history at New Ross. In UNESCO-listed Dublin, wander Georgian squares and browse the illuminated Book of Kells, then discover the Celtic and Viking layers of the Isle of Man at Douglas. Belfast’s Titanic story and the basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway from Portrush give way to Islay’s peated distilleries, Oban’s fresh langoustine, and Arran’s granite ridges. Your voyage comes to a close in Glasgow, on Ayrshire’s sun-catching coast, within easy reach of golf’s holiest links.
