Official voyage overview
This Scotland and Ireland cruise inspired the world's best poets, writers, and composers for centuries. Create your own travel opus on this sailing to mysterious stone age monoliths and genial coastal communities. Seek out red squirrels and elusive pine martens on a guided stroll to Rogie Falls on Scotland's Blackwater River near Invergordon. Explore the neolithic circles and the prehistoric settlement of Skara Brae, just beyond the white walls of Orkney's storied Skaill House. Walk on some of the 40,000 coastal basalt stones along the Giant's Causeway beyond Portrush. Indulge in Galway's local fish and chips, or stroll amid megalithic limestone tombs in The Burren--imposing monuments predating Egypt's pyramids. Lean out over the battlements of Blarney Castle and kiss the Blarney Stone for luck, then unwind with smokey whiskey samples at Cork County's storied Jameson Distillery.
