HIGHLIGHTS
Enjoy a unique coastal exploration along the full length of the British
Isles and beyond, discovering wildlife, nature, and the distinct
heritage of these wide-ranging destinations.
Nature and heritage
From Dover, we sail along the England’s southern coast and
then up the west coast of the British Isles to the Hebrides before
returning to Dover, featuring stops in different ports as we travel in
this direction. Discovery is the name of the game in this expedition,
where you’ll visit amazing locations in England, Wales,
Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland,
and the Hebrides Islands. See how nature and heritage distinctly shaped
the culture of each destination. These picturesque towns and historical
landmarks are set among wild landscapes, scenic coastal paths, and
impressive natural landforms.
Experienced Expedition
Team
Bird enthusiasts will be in awe of the birdlife on Rathlin Island and
at the largest seabird colony in Europe on the UNESCO-listed
archipelago of St. Kilda. You’ll learn about the ancient
history of the Isle of Man and Ireland’s Waterford, and
marvel at the Devon’s scenic beauty. Drink in the views of
the whisky island of Islay, while the natural acoustics of
Fingal’s Cave will have you singing on Staffa.
The true meaning of expedition cruising will become apparent as we head
for rarely visited destinations and take you on nature landings, with
our knowledgeable and experienced Expedition Team always on hand to
guide you.
