From the comfort of your lovely stateroom on the intimate 684-passenger Regatta, travel to the legendary lands of England, Scotland, Norway, and Ireland. From London, travel to Dover and cruise the North Sea to the port of Leith. Visit Edinburgh, one of Europe’s most attractive cities, marked by elegant streets, charming squares, and the distinctive Edinburgh Castle. Next visit Invergordon, nestled in the mountainous Highlands, where the mythical Loch Ness Monster resides. Cruise on to Lerwick of the Shetland Islands, a haven for killer whales, puffins, otters, and Shetland ponies. Next is Norway, where Alesund, Geiranger, and Hellesylt await. Explore the enormous fishing harbor of Alesund, and enjoy Geiranger’s snowcapped mountains, waterfalls, and fjord (a World Heritage Site), and explore pastoral Hellesylt’s steep cliffs and mountain lakes. The next stop is Belfast, where breathtaking coastal scenery meets a city adorned by Victorian architecture. Continue on to Ireland’s capital, Dublin, a cosmopolitan city that still exudes the charms of the 18th century. Ancient castles and traditional Irish pubs lie ahead in medieval Waterford, the oldest Viking city in Ireland and home to Waterford Crystal. This voyage continues in the bustling port of Fowey, England, whose seafaring history dates back to the 14th century, before ending back in London. Includes air.
