British Isles: Ireland, Scotland & Isle of Man 12 Day Expedition Cruise

Explore the British and Irish coastlines on this 11-night British Isles - Ireland, Scotland and North Wales cruise. Beginning in the historic naval town of Portsmouth on the English Channel, our boutique expedition ship takes in the best of the Cornish scenery with a trip to the subtropical Scilly Isles, before making its way across the Irish Sea. Here we sail via historic ports in Northern Ireland taking in the mysterious Giant’s Causeway on our way to Scotland to discover age-old standing stones and peek into WWII naval history. As we cruise past highlands and islands, sit back and enjoy the scenery spotting wildlife and birds such as common seals, dolphins and puffins. Our penultimate stop is in North Wales before making our return to the bustling Irish capital of Dublin.
