Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Falmouth: Harbour views and beaches nearby. Visit the National Maritime Museum or Pendennis Castle, then stroll for fish and chips. Easygoing and salty.
- Cork (Cobh): Colourful terraces over a deep-water harbour. Call into the Cobh Heritage Centre or take the train into Cork city. History and hospitality go hand in hand.
- Liverpool: Waterfront museums and music heritage. See the Three Graces, walk the Albert Dock, or catch a gallery—culture with a straight-talking grin.
- Belfast: Titanic history and lively quarters. Tour the shipyard landmarks, then find a pub for music. The city mixes old stories with new energy.
- Greenock: Gateway to the Clyde and Highlands. Hop to Glasgow by rail for galleries, or stay local for waterfront walks. Handy for city or scenery.
- Kirkwall (Orkney Islands): Norse echoes and big skies. Visit St Magnus Cathedral and the Orkney Museum; on longer stops, consider Skara Brae. Calm streets, deep past.
- Invergordon: A starting point for lochs and castles. Visit Dunrobin Castle or take a distillery tour. The Highlands feel close at hand.
- Edinburgh (South Queensferry): Rail bridges and skyline views. Head into the capital for the Royal Mile and castle, or stay for waterfront charm—a day with plenty of choices.
- Le Havre (Paris): Modernist lines and a broad beach. Explore MuMa, then consider a trip to Honfleur—or take the train to Paris if you’re set on a long day. Flexible, with art and sea air.
