Ports of Call
Cruise from Bristol
- Cherbourg: Harbour city with a naval past. Cité de la Mer combines an aquarium with a submarine museum, and markets sit close to the port. Walk the quays for a simple loop. It’s compact and easy to navigate.
- St. Malo: Granite ramparts ring a walled town over a tidal coast. Stroll the walls, then step down to Sillon Beach. Mont Saint-Michel can be a great option for a longer day trip: cobbles, sea air, and views in quick reach.
- Brest: Sea walls, bridges, and a busy harbour. Océanopolis and the maritime museum in the castle frame the city’s story. Cafés and creperies lie near the centre—a neat call for marine history.
- Cork (Cobh): Painted waterfront houses climb to St Colman’s Cathedral. The Heritage Centre tells emigration and Titanic tales, while rail links run into Cork for the English Market. Quayside walks and pubs make an easy finish. It’s a stop that suits both history and a gentle wander.
