ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

Portsmouth

With its evolution made evident by its top seafaring landmarks and pub-filled cobble streets, Portsmouth is the perfect place to start (or end) your British holiday.

Amsterdam

Narrow canals, endless adventure. World renowned as one of the most exciting cities on Earth, Amsterdam, a storybook city of winding canals, labyrinths of cobblestone streets — each offering their own eclectic array of shops, cafes and restaurants and rainbow colored door gable houses lining each street, is a city unlike any of its European neighbors.

Zeebrugge

If you were asked, “What is Belgium known for?” Beer, waffles, and chocolate may be some of the top responses. While those sweet and savory staples are ever-present, the city of Bruges (and its neighboring port Zeebrugge aka Bruges at sea) evokes a sense of awestruck curiosity from anyone lucky enough to visit — extending far beyond its culinary fame.

Kirkwall

Kirkwall features an award-winning town center, you’ll find plenty of places to eat and drink and tons of quaint shops.

Stornoway, Isle of Lewis

Visit Lews Castle, go on a guided swimming or boat tour, or have a pint at one of the many cafes of Stornoway.

Greenock (Glasgow)

Spend time in the Scottish countryside of Lyle Hill or visit a cathedral before making the 40-minute commute to Glasgow.

Belfast

A dynamic city that’s grown in popularity in recent years due to its breathtaking architecture, nightlife, and history, Belfast, in Northern Ireland.

Dublin

Dublin will never disappoint. With a history dating back over a thousand years, the evidence of this country’s eclectic past is present all over its charming avenues. Known around the world as one of the most fun cities in Europe, Dublin never disappoints. With a lengthy history, the evidence of this country’s eclectic past is present all over its charming avenues. Visit Grafton Street, the heart of Dublin, for unparalleled shopping and street entertainment, head over to Temple Bar, arguably the most famous bar in Ireland, walk the book-ladened walls of Trinity College or take a tour of the Guinness Factory to feel like you’ve won Willy Wonka’s golden ticket.
