Trip Summary

Our British Isles cruise explores remote and isolated coastlines where windswept cliffs and promontories teem with the largest seabird colonies of Europe. Our voyage also takes us walking in heather-smothered moorlands, through the magnificent geological wonderland of Giant’s Causeway, and among the ruins of fortress-castles that echo the lore of the Celts and Anglo-Saxons. From the sub-tropical gardens on the Isles of Scilly to the sacred sites of the Inner Hebrides and the stark beauty of Fair Isle, our unique itinerary captures the ancient spirit and wild heart of Britain.
