Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Tobermory

Arrive: Sat 28 April 2018 at 07:00 / Depart: Sat 28 April 2018 at 19:00

Genteel describes the lovely Georgian harbourfront architecture of the little town of Tobermory, whilst rugged is a more apt description for the wild moorland and mountainous interior of the Isle of Mull. Take a trip on the Mull Railway or visit tiny traffic-free Iona, where St Columba first brought Christianity in 563 AD.

Day 4 - Stornoway (Stornoway) - UK

Arrive: Sun 29 April 2018 at 07:00 / Depart: Sun 29 April 2018 at 19:00

Having cruised around the northern tip of the British Isles, you reach Stornoway, the only town on Lewis, the most northerly of the Outer Hebrides. This history-rich outpost offers a tremendous diversity of interests including the pre-historic Callanish Standing Stones, fabulous coastlines, beaches and wildlife.

Day 5 - Kirkwall

Arrive: Mon 30 April 2018 at 07:00 / Depart: Mon 30 April 2018 at 16:00

The capital and administrative centre of the Orkney Islands, set on the principal island known as Mainland. The Orkneys comprise 70 or so islands, rocks and skerries that cover an area of 376 square miles. You can still detect the Norse influence and the Stone Age settlement at Skara Brae, older than either the Pyramids or Stonehenge, is fascinating.

Day 6 - Rosyth

Arrive: Tue 01 May 2018 at 09:00 / Depart: Tue 01 May 2018 at 18:00

Rosyth is your gateway to beautiful and vibrant Edinburgh dominated by captivating Edinburgh Castle and Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s residence.

Day 7 - At Sea

Day 8 - Honfleur

Arrive: Thu 03 May 2018 at 09:00 / Depart: Thu 03 May 2018 at 19:00

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 9 - St. Helier

Arrive: Fri 04 May 2018 at 07:00

St. Helier is the capital and by far the biggest town on the island. It is overlooked by two fortifications: Elizabeth Castle withstood Oliver Cromwell and his army for seven weeks in 1651, and was later used by the occupying German forces during the Second World War. Fort Regent is built on an outcrop above the town and has now been converted into a sports and leisure complex. Inside, there is an aquarium, a postal museum, a funfair and the old castle ramparts give excellent views out across the town and the bay. Other in town attractions include the award -winning Jersey Museum, the new Maritime Museum and the Occupation Tapestry Gallery. Very popular for shopping, the best area in St. Helier is in the King Street/Queen Street precinct area. Most luxury goods are less expensive than in the UK, as Jersey, although VAT free, has low duties on items such as alcohol, cigarettes, perfume, cosmetics and electrical goods.
