- Greenock (Overnight onboard): Clyde-side town with rail links to Glasgow. Visit Kelvingrove Museum, stroll the riverside, or enjoy an evening ashore. Scotland’s energy is close by.
- Belfast: Northern Irish capital of character. Visit Titanic Belfast, take a mural tour, or wander the Botanic Gardens. Old and new meet on every corner.

- Cork (Cobh): Colourful quayside town. Visit the Heritage Centre, see St Colman’s Cathedral, or take a trip to Blarney Castle—Irish hospitality at its best.
- Le Havre (Paris): Modernist city rebuilt after the war. Explore the André Malraux Museum, walk the seafront, or take a train to Paris. Choices abound.
