Itinerary highlights

Southampton, England, UK
A classic maritime gateway with deep seafaring roots, Southampton mixes old-world history with a lively modern waterfront. Stroll the old town walls, pop into a museum or two, then settle in for pub classics before you sail.

South Queensferry (tours to Edinburgh), Scotland, UK
Cruise into the Firth of Forth with postcard views of the iconic bridge, then head into Edinburgh for castle grandeur and cobbled-lane charm. Highlights include the Royal Mile, Holyrood, and the dramatic skyline from Edinburgh Castle.

Invergordon (tours to Inverness or Loch Ness), Scotland
Welcome to Highland legends—misty glens, ancient battlefields, and the famous waters of Loch Ness (eyes peeled!). Pair historic sites like Culloden and storybook castles with a whisky distillery stop for the full Scottish experience.

Kirkwall, Scotland, UK
Orkney’s capital is packed with Viking heritage and rugged island character, crowned by St Magnus Cathedral built from local sandstone. Dive into Norse history, explore quirky local museums, and sample renowned peaty single malts at Highland Park.

Stornoway, Scotland, UK
Arrive to one of the most scenic natural harbours in the Outer Hebrides, where Gaelic culture and wild coastal landscapes set the tone. Wander the waterfront, soak up the island’s welcoming vibe, and look out for eagles, otters and sweeping sea views.

Oban, Scotland, UK
A charming harbour town framed by beautiful scenery, Oban is your launchpad for island views, coastal walks, and wildlife spotting. It’s also one of Scotland’s best places for fresh seafood—perfect with a small dram on the side.

Liverpool, England, UK
Cunard’s spiritual home brings big energy: historic docks, bold culture, and that unmistakable music legacy. Explore the revitalised waterfront, museums and galleries, then enjoy the buzz of a city that’s equal parts modern and iconic.

Cobh (tours to Cork), Ireland
Colourful hillside streets and a soaring cathedral spire make Cobh instantly memorable, with a moving emigrant story woven into the town’s past. Step straight into town from the pier, explore nearby gardens and grand estates, or head to Cork for Irish charm and local flavours.
