Cruise Overview

Nature and heritage around the British Isles

*Please note that on our 8 May 2024 departure, in the Orkney Islands we will visit Stromness instead of Kirkwall. Join a walking tour of this charming harbour town and learn about its maritime and Viking heritage - as well as a local pirate - as you wander through narrow streets packed with an assortment of curious shops. 

Picturesque towns full of history 

Experience the beauty and variety of the British Isles on an expedition cruise. Explore the quaint villages, charming towns and impressive historical landmarks. Discover the Viking and Gaelic heritage of Waterford and Stornoway, and sample single malt whisky on Islay. 

Nature and wild islands 

You’ll encounter the wild landscapes of the Hebrides, the tropical-looking Isles of Scilly and the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on the Isle of Man, as well as enjoying scenic walks along the Pembrokeshire and Devon coasts. 

PLEASE NOTE: In keeping with our adventurous spirit, we visit small remote ports on our expeditions. Due to sea conditions and secluded locations we visit, it's not always possible to dock in port. Sometimes we have to use our small expedition boats to get ashore.
