Destination description

The British Isles, well what can we say that you don?t already know? Probably that seeing the British Isles from a cruise ship, from the outside looking in, gives a different perspective. The coastline of the British Isles is beautiful, and in particular in Scotland with the rolling Scottish Highlands dotted with stunning lakes, or ?lochs? and magnificent castles and cathedrals. A cruise around the Scottish Highlands includes the 70 island archipelago that is the Orkney Islands, which is an explorer's playground boasting dramatic coastal scenery showcasing over a thousand prehistoric sights. What better way to visit the Channel Islands of Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney than on a cruise, with their excellent sunshine records. You can also cruise to some of the British Isles most famous naval ports including Falmouth, Plymouth and Dartmouth. A cruise of the British Isles is not complete without a taste of the slower place of life and the unrivalled hospitality offered in the land of the Irish. A cruise around Ireland will get you engaged with tales of Irish folklore, which always sounds more believable when washed down with a traditional pint of Guinness.
