Discover some of the world-renowned destinations that await you on a British Isles cruise with Princess.
- Orkney Islands
- Paris & Normandy (Le Havre)
- Portland for Stonehenge
Teeming with rural villages and vast countryside, Belfast is an explorer’s playground. Cruise to the British Isles and walk through the basalt formations of Giant’s Causeway. Stroll through the Botanic Gardens and observe the park’s Victorian heritage. Or experience true country living in the cottage of a breadmaker, where you can make fresh-baked goods to accompany your afternoon cup of tea.
In a land where fable and fact blend to become folklore, Cork is a beacon of romance among Ireland’s iconic cities. On a British Isles cruise, see the city’s emerald terrains reflected in the lakes of Killarney National Park. Savor an Irish coffee in the 18th-century village of Blarney. Or enjoy a lunch on the hills of Cashel, with the Romanesque architecture of St. Patrick’s Rock as your backdrop.
Experience the best of Irish hospitality on a British Isles cruise to Dublin. Stop by a pub and hear stories of the city from the people who call it home. Tour Trinity College, one of the world’s most famous universities. Or discover the secrets to brewing a stout at the Guinness Storehouse, and sip on a complimentary glass just a few hundred yards from where it’s made.
With centuries of cultural change, Edinburgh is home to a diverse landscape of design. Cruise the British Isles and follow the Royal Mile to the top of Castle Rock, where Edinburgh Castle sits overlooking the city below. Marvel at the expansive collection of artwork in the Royal Yacht Britannia, or shop for souvenirs on Princes Street while admiring the Georgian architecture of New Town.
Once an industrial giant, Glasgow is brimming with treasure. When you cruise the British Isles, wander the halls of Inveraray Castle to see a collection of royal portraits. Watch a kaleidoscopic display in Glasgow Cathedral as the sun pours through the stained-glass windows. Or spend the day admiring armor, weaponry and global gems in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
Orkney is home to some of the oldest Neolithic sites in Europe. On a British Isles cruise, history buffs can hear World War II stories at the Italian Chapel. Or travel along Scapa Flow for an even deeper look into the region’s history of naval travel and trade. For those seeking mysteries, uncover secrets of the Ring of Brodgar, part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In a land that inspires love stories, reconnect with loved ones on a British Isles cruise to France. Dock in Le Havre and enjoy a breakfast crepe at a sidewalk cafe. Or embark on a day-long adventure in one of two directions. Visit Paris, where famous artwork awaits, or head to Normandy and see the D-Day beaches or the tidal island of Mont Saint Michel. From the painted portraits to the real-life scenery, revel in it all with Princess.
Used to build Buckingham Palace and St. Paul’s Cathedral, the stone extracted from Portland’s quarries has changed history. But there’s more to the city than it’s commodities. Cruise the British Isles to investigate the mysteries of Stonehenge, and learn about the grape-to-glass process at Langham Wine Estate. Or see hundreds of baby swans parading through the grounds of the 600-year-old Abbotsbury Swannery.
Why Cruise the British Isles
The British pubs, Parisian artwork and Irish castles invite you to live like royalty.
Storied and splendid
Castles are the emblem of these regions. Between the chandeliers and tapestries, step into luxury when you visit the British Isles. Cruise to Dublin and parade through the 13th-century halls of the city’s fortress. Experience the grandeur of Urquhart Castle, and search for legendary ghosts in Glamis Castle. Or visit Edinburgh Castle, where kings, queens and nobles once lived and medieval secrets continue to linger.
Melodies of memories past
As the birthplace of many music icons, the British Isles invite you to sing, dance and raise a glass to songs played around the globe. Visit Liverpool to walk in the footsteps of a beloved boyband, and head to a local pub to hear the boys at their best. Cruise the British Isles for an evening of Irish song and dance in Dublin, or watch the Edinburgh Military Tattoo assemble bands, bagpipes and drums for a soul-stirring show.
Globally recognized, historically prominent
The British Isles are a mecca of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Cruise from Southampton to Liverpool, and walk along the Royal Albert Dock, the first structure in Britain to be constructed without wood. Shop along Princes Street in Edinburgh’s New Town. Or travel to Brú na Bóinne in Dublin and get up close to Europe’s largest collection of prehistoric megalithic art.
Raise a glass to adventure
In lands famous for their stouts and ales, pubs are the cornerstone of tradition. Cruise the British Isles and step into age-old establishments that are bustling with spirit. In Dublin, get a taste of true pub “craic” — an Irish term that equates to an atmosphere of fun, entertainment and good company. With festive music playing in the background, sip on world-famous beers that originated nearby while sharing a laugh with locals.
Natural Phenomena
Unexplainable yet undeniable
Discern fact versus fiction on a British Isles cruise, where mysteries and mythologies abound. In Portland, learn about the 5,000-year-old stone circle that displays an advanced understanding of arithmetic and astrology. On itineraries that sail to Cork, search the sea for the Bioluminescence beams created by the region’s gleaming plankton. Or hunt for Invergordon’s legendary monster in the waters of Loch Ness.
Museums & Art Galleries
Ancient artifacts and acclaimed artwork
No cruise to the British Isles is complete without a visit to Paris. See “Venus de Milo” and da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” or tour Notre Dame, a work of art in and of itself. Visit the Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin, where interactive galleries invite you to explore. Those departing from London can also stop by the Victoria and Albert Museum which houses over two million artifacts.
British Isles excursions
Our award-winning shore excursions bring you up close to beautiful coasts, monuments and historical wonderlands. On a British Isles cruise, snap photos of Dublin’s iconic sites — like St. Stephen’s Green and Christ Church Cathedral — and taste a world-famous stout at the Guinness Storehouse. Or ride through quaint villages in Belfast on your way to Giant’s Causeway, and revel in the natural structures that surround you.
Local connections
When you cruise the British Isles, meet the diverse personalities that call these lands home. In Dublin, head to a countryside bed and breakfast where a local chef invites you to savor homemade scones and jam. Or set out on a day-long tour in Cork with your loved ones and visit the city’s most iconic sites. Stop by the 18th-century village of Kinsale, and then continue to Blarney Castle, where legends and landmarks await.
More ashore
Enjoy even more history and culture during your British Isles cruise with More Ashore late-night departures and overnight stays. Visit several pubs during an evening tour, and hear stories from locals over a pint of local brew. Savor a traditional Scottish dinner in Edinburgh, and see the Royal Mile illuminated by street lamps and the evening light. Or explore Dublin by night, and indulge in Irish entertainment.

Vegas hits the seas

Gauge Dublin's pulse - Ireland
Dublin has plenty of charm on both sides of the Liffey. There are lots of historic landmarks to visit: while you can see the Custom House and Bank of Ireland from the outside, you should definitely venture into Trinity College . This, Dublin's oldest university, is home to the Book of Kells : a 1,200-year old manuscript and a real illumination masterpiece among thousands of works. Christ Church Cathedral, Saint Patrick's Cathedral and Dublin Castle are also unmissable. But, to appreciate the whole package offered by the Irish capital, you need to gauge its pulse. There's no better way to do this than walking along pedestrianised Grafton Street , or through the Temple Bar district, with its many pubs, restaurants and shops.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Treat yourself to a getaway in Edinburgh - Scotland](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l12.jpg)
Treat yourself to a getaway in Edinburgh - Scotland
Perched in a fabulous location high on Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle is a Scottish icon. This fortress which has dominated the city since the 12th century has long been used as a royal residence and for military purposes. The castle offers fantastic views of the surrounding area as well as the chance to immerse yourself in Scotland's eventful history as you view the different architectural styles of the buildings and the Scottish crown jewels in one particular room. Edinburgh is also a vibrant city. To see this for yourself, go to its most famous street: the Royal Mile .
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Spend a day in Cork - Ireland](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l13.jpg)
Spend a day in Cork - Ireland
Cork in the south of Ireland is one of those lively cities worth exploring on foot due to its manageable size. It would be impossible to visit Cork without stopping off at the Neo-Gothic Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral or the Church of St Anne (in the Shandon area) which is famous for its bells, which entered Irish popular culture via a 19th-century song: The Bells of Shandon . Foodies will enjoy a trip to the English Market : one of the city's main attractions. For over 200 years, the market has been showcasing the best regional produce, including specialities like drisheen (a kind of black pudding) and pig's trotters. Its 55 food stalls are packed with food products: each more mouth-watering than the last.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Follow in the footsteps of the Beatles in Liverpool - England](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l14.jpg)
Follow in the footsteps of the Beatles in Liverpool - England
It was Liverpool that sealed the Beatles ' fate. Penny Lane, St Peter's Woolton, the university School of the Arts, the Casbah Coffee Club, the Empire Theatre, Arnold Grove, Dovedale School, Quarry Bank School... Retrace the steps of the "Fab Four" during a coach tour that takes in some of the places that contributed to the legend and played a role in their story.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Walk on the Giant's Causeway - Northern Ireland](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l15.jpg)
Walk on the Giant's Causeway - Northern Ireland
Legend has it that the Giant's Causeway was the result of a quarrel between two giants: one Scottish and the other Irish. Mocked by the former, the latter threw rocks into the sea to encourage him to come over and fight. Seeing the strapping Scotsman arrive, the Irishman was frightened and disguised himself as a baby. Noticing how brawny the baby was, the "invader" could only imagine what its father might look like, so fled, destroying the pathway between the two countries as he went. Despite this, 40,000 vertical and hexagonal stone columns can still be seen today. In truth, they are cooled lava prisms from a basaltic lava flow 40 million years ago which have been eroded by the sea.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Explore London on a panoramic tour - England](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l16.jpg)
Explore London on a panoramic tour - England
There's nothing better than a panoramic tour if you want to see the English capital's most iconic landmarks . In just a few hours, you can visit Buckingham Palace (the queen's home), Trafalgar Square, the 135-metre big wheel known as the London Eye , the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey (where British royalty is crowned and buried).
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Take a breath of fresh air in Connemara - Ireland](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l17.jpg)
Take a breath of fresh air in Connemara - Ireland
Narrow roads that wind between lakes and lands that are green or red depending on the season, and breathtaking endless views. The Connemara region has many legends, always amazes and leaves visitors speechless. Start your trip with a cruise on Lough Corrib with its 365 islands. Exploring Galway, Ireland's most vibrant city, is also a must. Its bohemian and artistic vibes, the flower-covered pubs, the music that emanates from within, the remains of ramparts in the medieval area and the various boutiques all contribute to its charm.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Get away from it all on the Isles of Scilly - United Kingdom](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l18.jpg)
Get away from it all on the Isles of Scilly - United Kingdom
Who would have thought that these dots of land surrounded by turquoise waters would be in the middle of the Celtic Sea? The Isles of Scilly enjoy a microclimate due to the Gulf Stream. Thanks to the latter, a real Garden of Eden has been planted and grown up over the past 170 years on Tresco . Tresco Abbey Garden contains plants from Australia, New Zealand, Africa, South America and the Mediterranean, as well as native species. This exotic flora is simply incredible.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Enjoy the majesty of nature on the Isle of Skye - Scotland](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l19.jpg)
Enjoy the majesty of nature on the Isle of Skye - Scotland
It's impossible not to be moved by the wild beauty on the Isle of Skye . A few pastures sit alongside uncultivated plains. The heathland extends as far as the eye can see, criss-crossed by rivers and waterfalls. Steep cliffs plunge down into turbulent waters and jagged landforms soften out into gentle slopes until they reach deserted pebble beaches or sea lochs. And then sometimes, a shadow looms proud despite the age of its stones, and reminds us that we are in the Highlands . Dunvegan Castle owned by the MacLeod clan is in no way a ruin. A tour is a good idea if you want a moving experience being immersed in Scotland's past.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Go on a magical adventure, Hebrides Islands - Scotland](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/irecan-desti-l20.jpg)
Go on a magical adventure, Hebrides Islands - Scotland
Stone houses with thatched roofs, white-sand beaches bordered by cropped green vegetation, small ports, peaceful locks and sheep farming... The Hebrides Islands paint the perfect Scottish landscape. See the magic for yourself on Lewis with a visit to one of the most impressive prehistoric sites: the Callanish Stones . This is the second most important site in Great Britain after Stonehenge and dates back to 3000 BC. During the Neolithic, the stone's arrangement vis-à-vis the moon and stars allowed farmers to track the seasons.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 ireland and scotland cruises 2024](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/picto-bonne-pratique.png)
Dos. Anyone who wants to make a good impression in Great Britain and Ireland should abide by a few basic principles: always be polite, don't queue-jump, arrive on time and pay for your round at the pub.
Don'ts. In Scotland, it's not the done thing to add soda to your whisky. Instead, use still water to reveal the power of each flavour.

Unique features
Kept at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland, the Book of Kells enthrals lovers of Celtic art and illuminations. Its cover, which was supposedly brimming with gold and precious stones, was torn off when the work was stolen in 1007 and has never been found. The variety of details and colours in the drawings is impressive. In 800, when the book (which brings together the four gospels) was written, only four colours were normally used. However, the Book of Kells contains many more that were made using pigments from materials shipped in from all over Europe and the Middle East. The most expensive, lapis lazuli, was used for blue and came from Afghanistan.

Fish and chips is known and enjoyed in England, Ireland and Scotland. These sizeable fillets of fried cod are given a lift by lemon zest and accompanied by chips. And the dish's secret? The Irish add stout to the batter.

Myths & legends
More than a symbol, clover (especially four-leaf clover) is seen by the Irish as a lucky charm. For the druids, it had real power against evil spirits. The believed that the first leaf represented hope, the second, faith, the third, love and the fourth, luck. You have to find a four-leaf clover by chance at full moon for the magic to work.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 ireland and scotland cruises 2024](https://wordpress.ponant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/picto-culture2.png)
Books. Although mainly known for Treasure Island, good Scotsman Robert Louis Stevenson actually wrote a touching body of work including several travel narratives about his native soil. Walking through Edinburgh, a ramble on the Isle of Mull, exploring the Fife Coast, memories of the Pentland Hills... The French-language À travers l’Écosse , which contains translations of some of Stevenson's English travel writing, provides a nice starting point and nostalgic portrait of the region in the 19th century.
Music. The harp features on Irish coats of arms for a good reason: it represents one of the first instruments played by ninth-century Gaelic clans. Gradually dance music also emerged and was played especially in pubs. This rhythmic repertoire of 6,000 melodies is performed on various instruments: the bodhrán (a traditional drum), the bagpipes, the fiddle (a version of the violin) and the Irish bouzouki (a kind of large mandolin).
Film. Awarded two Palmes d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006 for T he Wind That Shakes the Barley , and in 2016 for I, Daniel Blake , Ken Loach is undoubtedly the most-loved British director, as well as the most divisive in his country. The positions he takes and his way of depicting UK society, social deprivation and the dark hours in the country's history raise some people's hackles, while others applaud his efforts. His work always contains nicely British humour, with feature films that are touchingly accurate and moving characters with which the director surprises and stirs his public each and every time.
Facts and figures
Big Ben is definitely one of London's most iconic monuments. This nickname refers to its large bell which comes in at an impressive 13.7 tonnes, 2.2 metres high and 2.7 metres in diameter . The striking hammer weighs 200 kilos .

ORCA is one of the UK’s leading whale and dolphin conservation charities, dedicated to the protection of whales, dolphins and porpoises around the world. Ocean Conservationists will be showcasing the incredible diversity of wildlife that can be spotted from the deck, helping everyone learn more about the marine environment around them whilst collecting vital data about whales, dolphins and porpoises to contribute to their protection. Whilst on board, the team will be delivering activities to help guests learn more about these amazing animals as well as the threats they face, including the Ambassador & ORCA pledge and the first ever cruise "Anti-whaling" campaign.
What to expect on this sailing... This entire route provides an abundance of cetacean activity! From monitoring minke whales and fin whales through the Irish sea and resident populations of bottlenose dolphins around the British Isles. The North Sea then provides an excellent monitoring opportunity in a marine protected area important for harbour porpoises.
Often people think about whales and dolphins as being exotic animals seen on the other side of the world, but 25 species have actually be spotted in UK waters, and that’s something we love to celebrate! We have an incredible diversity of whales, dolphins and porpoises right on our doorstep, including “slinky” minke whales and the largest bottlenose dolphins in the world. We may even be lucky enough to spot orcas as they visit during the summer months! Not only are we excited for this itinerary to show guests these incredible animals first-hand, but during our time onboard we will also be collecting vital data that will help to keep them safe. This itinerary travels through a number of protected areas so the sightings we record will play a direct role in helping monitoring the whales and dolphins around our coast.

Here she is, our flagship of the fleet, our first lady of the sea: Ambience. Derived from the French word for ‘surrounding’, our ambition at Ambassador is to create the optimum atmosphere onboard; one that brings out the best in each of us. The perfect ambience.
With an average 1,400-guest capacity and careful configuration, she offers both a feeling of spaciousness and freedom, whilst retaining that sense of intimacy and camaraderie we each crave; it’s whatever makes you comfortable.
Entertainment-wise, she really will spoil you for choice. Let your hair down at the Observatory and bring out your finest ensembles for The Palladium. Whether you like it shaken or stirred, she has numerous bars to whet your whistle, including Raffles Bar, Botanical Lounge, SW19 and The Purple Turtle Pub.
Dining options are plentiful at our Buckingham restaurant or the Borough Market, with plentiful cuisine options, and for those wanting to soak in nature’s glory, we have our glorious Alfresco Grill. Wining and dining are more than fine at Saffron*, Sea & Grass* or our deluxe Chef’s Table*, where we offer a speciality gastronomic experience that’s not to be missed.
Put your best cards forward at Aces & Eights bridge and card room and the Ambassador Casino, or revive and renew at the gym and Wellness Centre. Other facilities include Kapoor’s, our onboard crafting studio, Brontë’s library, the shopping galleria, not to mention a swimming pool, two hot tubs and a large screen for outdoor movies. Sound good?

“Quick online booking”
Very easy to book. Good combination of Hamburg and Amsterdam. Would have liked to know how long Ambience is in each port. Very much enjoyed our first cruise with Ambassador in May so we have confidence in this cruise line.
Trusted Customer
“Great value at sea”
Have always received excellent service from everyone from Ambassador
“cruise 2025”
very helpful which enabled me to understand about Ambassador Cruises The ladies in the sales office were excellent and very knowlegable with regards to their company
Dawn Loring
Polite and easy to do easy booking procedures
Trevor Howard
“Excellent, First Class !”
Excellent , First Class !
Jon Claydon
“Easy phone booking”
Easy booking system by phone, lady called Julie was very helpful and efficient.
Jeanette Tissiman
Good booking service and looking forward to our cruise.
“A pleasant cruise. Friendly crew. Helpful staff. Cabin very small.”
“A good way to travel to Edinburgh from Liverpool!”
The booking service was excellent and the excursions are easy to book. It could be improved by being in port for longer. 3 of the ports are just an afternoon which means if you are on a trip you don't have time to also look around the town which we like to do which is our only disappointment so far. So my suggestion is arrive in port early morning and stay until early evening.
I booked this cruise on line so I really can’t give any information on the service that I did not receive.. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about the video on the room not very good does not show the balcony or the bathroom could be a better video on the room.
Kevin Connolly
“Christmas Cruise 2025”
Booking was easier than expected, no problems encountered. We did need to have the deck plan to hand in order to see where our cabin was.
John Cotton
“Helpful transition made a difficult situation easy”
Had to change from gems of the Caribbean as with medical condition insurance was astronomical!! Ambassador did the transfer process smoothly and understood the situation Can’t review the cruise as yet because we haven’t done it yet BUT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT 😁
Susan Scott
“My booking experience, simplicity.”
I found booking with the Ambassador cruise line very easy, I have used their service before and found the staff very helpful.
John Mcdougall
“Excellent service”
It was easy to use the website to book and when I had to speak with customer service they were very helpful
The staff were extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Pleasure dealing wih them.
“Fast easy informative”
Fast and easy to book informative Q and As on the website. Easy to use app I downloaded I hope my cruise is just as easy and stress free as its my first time sailing.
“Good experience”
Friendly and very helpful (although she did spell my name incorrectly which made logging in difficult initially). She explained everything about what is included et cetera and what I had to do next. She also mentioned the special offer with American Express. Overall the booking process was excellent. I haven’t been with Ambassador before.
“Customer service. Overuse of technology annoying for seniors.”
I'm a fan of Ambassador, so regret what follows. When I went to My Cruise Booking to establish what I owed and when, I was confronted with last year's round the UK trip. What's the point in that? Why wasn't the forthcoming booking up there? Totally baffling. I'm told by a friend that she was then informed by a member of staff that she had to watch some Youtube instruction as to how to access the current booking. Why on earth should passengers be expected to navigate this rather than the company? Extremely poor customer service. Same goes for ringing and being told unless you happen to be sailing within the next four weeks Ambassador is unable to answer your call Not enough staff it would appear. Once again, poor customer service. Since the demographic of passengers tends to be on the senior side and perhaps not so swift when it comes to technology, I would urge an otherwise good company urgently to review some of its practices.
Very helpful and knowledgeable.
Simple efficiency!

Tipping is not customary across the British Isles like it is elsewhere in Europe and in North America. Some restaurants do add a service charge to bills.
If driving in the British Isles, remember Ireland road signs are in kilometers, while Great Britain uses miles instead.
FOR FOODIE'S A CUISINE OF COMFORT
Each country in the British Isles is known for its signature pub grub and comfort food dishes. These hearty and predominantly meaty meals keep locals warm in a region known for its bracing weather.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Traditional Irish Stew for St. Patricks day](https://assets.dm.rccl.com/is/image/RoyalCaribbeanCruises/royal/content/destinations/british-isles/traditional-irish-stew-for-st-patricks-day.jpg?$240x124$)

The Proof's in the Pudding

The O.G. Fish and Chips
Across the British Isles, you'll find thousands of restaurants and shops exclusively serving fish and chips, which first appeared in England in the 1860s. Flaky, tender white fish is deep-fried in a thin, crunchy layer of batter and served alongside thick-cut fried potatoes and "mushy" peas, as the locals call them, which are blended with cream or occasionally ultra-rich bone marrow.

Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights.
On this exploration of Ireland with a hint of Scotland and the Scilly Isles, you will get to see rocky, remote and verdant scenery and visit destinations steeped in myth and legend. Bolette will divert away from the main coastal routes to show you remarkable landscapes such as the Cliffs of Moher, the bonnet-shaped Bac Mòr and Inishnabro - otherwise known as Cathedral Rocks. You will also sail past Fingal’s Cave and have the chance to visit Giant’s Causeway from Belfast, two sites linked by the feuding mythological giants Finn McCool and Benandonner. Galway, considered one of the jewels of Western Ireland, boasts a craggy coastline shaped by the elements that makes for rewarding discovery.

Towering Cliffs and Jagged isles
Your cruise aboard Bolette will showcase Ireland's rugged coastlines of towering cliffs and jagged islets rising out of the ocean. The dramatically vertical Cliffs of Moher stand at over 700 feet tall, offering sweeping views of Galway Bay, and are home to colonies of nesting sea birds, while the remote and rocky Skellig Islands, famous for their gannet and puffin populations, are a mystical sight looming out of the Atlantic Ocean as you sail past. Known for their rugged beauty, the breathtaking precipices of the Blasket Islands of Inishnabro and Tearaght are craggy rock formations steeped in mystery, and the awe-inspiring basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway tell tales of myth and legend.

Celtic Traditions in Western Ireland
In the west of Ireland, Celtic traditions are deeply ingrained in everyday life, where the Irish Gaelic language is widely spoken, helping to preserve the country's heritage and cultural identity. The warmth and hospitality of locals are encompassed in the spirit of 'craic', and is a central aspect of culture and social interaction in informal settings, often enjoyed over an Irish whiskey shared generously with guests. Join us to experience traditional foot-tapping and uplifting Irish music and dance, telling stories of the sea, love, and rebellion, to name just a few, as their lively beats and beautiful melodies bring together local communities.
![ireland and scotland cruises 2024 Fingal's Cave, Scotland](https://68c8648dbe66747498d1-6027f91c84d2b73bebfc9b6bc4f4a0ac.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/64071bd1ae02f70b64e5e0df/fingalcavemin.jpg)
Myths and Legends behind the landmarks
On this Bolette cruise, you'll have the opportunity to learn about how Irish myths and legends are woven into the local landscapes. It is said that the Giant's Causeway and Fingal's Cave on the Isle of Staffa are corresponding end pieces to a bridge built by Irish giant Finn McCool so he could travel to Scotland and confront his monstrous foe, Benandonner. The hexagonal basalt columns of each were created by the same ancient lava flow, leaving astonishingly symmetrical stones and pillars. The Cliffs of Moher enchant visitors with tales of otherworldly beings haunting the coastline, while Aillwee Cave in Galway holds secrets of the púca, a shape-shifting spirit of Celtic folklore whose magic and mystery intrigue visitors.

Cruises to Ireland and Scotland
Fascinating history and pastoral landscapes await.
On a cruise to Ireland and Scotland, take in the wonderfully contrasting scenery, from Ireland’s lush, rolling countryside to Scotland’s much starker beauty, where mountains slope down to serene lochs, inlets from the sea carved by ancient glaciers.
This corner of Europe is packed with culture and history, both ancient and more recent. In Scotland, you’ll come across grand, turreted castles and atmospheric ruins, as well as cosmopolitan cities including Glasgow and Edinburgh, each with world-class art galleries. In Ireland, you’ll find history shaped by everything from the Vikings to the golden age of shipbuilding. Don’t forget those famously cozy pubs—the perfect setting for sampling a pint of Guinness.
Itineraries
Featured ports of call, belfast, ireland.
Dynamic Belfast, once famed as a community divided by “The Troubles”, has reinvented itself as a thriving, modern city with a bustling waterfront, grand Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and a lively pub scene. Take a city tour to see the vivid street art on the Peace Wall, and explore the superb Titanic Belfast to learn about the ill-fated liner. Or head to the Giant’s Causeway, an expanse of 40,000 basalt columns on the wild Atlantic coast, created by an ancient volcanic eruption.
Glasgow, Scotland
As well as being a center of imposing Victorian architecture, the buzzing university city of Glasgow is rich in culture, from the priceless art of Kelvingrove to the archaeological treasures of the Burrell Collection. Edinburgh is just over an hour away, and you’re also close to serene Loch Lomond and the forested mountains of the Trossachs National Park. The shopping in Glasgow is superb, whether you’re in the market for tartan, Scottish whisky and craft gin, or your own set of bagpipes.
Cork (Cobh), Ireland
Immerse yourself in the medieval history and Gothic architecture of enchanting Cork. Visit romantic Blarney Castle, a 15th-century fortress with beautiful gardens, and kiss the legendary Blarney Stone to be granted the “gift of the gab”. Sample the famed Jameson Irish Whiskey, shop for exquisite Waterford Crystal, and get a taste of life in Victorian times on a tour of the imposing Muckross House, located deep in the verdant countryside.

CLIA unveils UK & Ireland Cruise Week 2024 dates and activities
Press Release | June 27, 2024
CLIA has confirmed this year’s UK & Ireland Cruise Week will take place from September 16-22. The annual event will see a host of trade-friendly activities and initiatives, supported by consumer outreach, throughout the seven days.
Cruise Week will this year focus on the #DiscoverMore destination theme, which was also a feature across CLIA’s main conference in May, allowing the industry to showcase cruise destinations as well as the experiences available in port.
CLIA will use the week to share information and insights on destinations though expert interviews, webinars and live broadcasts. It will also work with its member cruise lines to bring trade incentives, offers and news, supported by a host of social media activities with shareable content and a focus on a different daily destination.
CLIA will host its Destination Showcase in Gibraltar during the week, to further engage agents in destination experiences. More details will be announced shortly, with registration for the event opening on July 3.
Andy Harmer, CLIA managing director for UK & Ireland, said: “We’re very excited to announce this year’s CLIA Cruise Week, as it will once again present the ideal opportunity for agents to capitalise on the momentum we’re seeing across all sectors of the industry. The destination focus was a real hit during CLIA Conference, with agents able to use their new-found insight and expertise to further aid cruise sales, so we’re looking forward to further enhancing their know-how in September.
“We’re encouraging agents to stay tuned via social media and our other communications platforms, so they can generate even more interest, enquiries and bookings during Cruise Week and beyond.”
