Highlights of this cruise:

Reykjavik
Formed by volcanic eruptions and settled by Norse Vikings, Iceland is an unforested land of volcanoes, hot springs, mountains, glaciers and northern lights. While its preserved language remains, this is a forward-thinking, eco-friendly country and Reykjavik is its capital where 60% of the population lives. Europe’s second largest island is known for whale watching and its ancient maritime history.

Greenock
Magnificent mountain vistas welcome you to Greenock, gateway to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomand and Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow. Known for its shipbuilding history, Glasgow today is hip and vibrant with the accolades to prove it – a 1990 European Culture Capital; a 1999 UK City of Architecture & Design, and 2014 host to the Commonwealth Games. Discover the art scene in the Merchant City district, explore the revered Kelvingrove Art Gallery and the Zaha Hadid-designed Riverside Museum.

Liverpool
Known for being the birthplace of the Beatles, the city offers many different attractions dedicated to this iconic band. Liverpool is also home to the stunningly original Anglican cathedral, considered the biggest in Britain, and of the famous dish known as “scouse,” which you can enjoy in multiple restaurants across the city.

Dover
For centuries, Dover has been a symbol of England`s royal fortitude. The port`s legendary White Cliffs have long been a welcomed landmark for seafaring travelers. The solid Dover Castle has faced invasions by Roman, French and even English troops. London`s legendary sights, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, Whitehall and the fashionable West End, lie just 80 miles from historic Dover.
