Cruise from Southampton
- Dublin (Dún Laoghaire): Seaside gateway to Dublin with long piers and quick rail links. Walk the East Pier, browse markets in the People’s Park, or head into the city for Georgian streets and live music. Sea and culture sit side by side.
- Belfast: Shipbuilding heritage and stories of renewal. Visit Titanic Belfast, explore the Cathedral Quarter, or walk the Peace Lines. Past and present connect at every turn.
- Portree (Isle of Skye): Harbour town ringed by cliffs. Wander the waterfront, visit craft shops, or take a drive to the Old Man of Storr. The island’s wild beauty feels close here.
- Invergordon: Highland port surrounded by hills. Take a tour to Loch Ness, visit castles nearby, or stroll along murals in the town centre. It’s small but welcoming.
- Newhaven (For Edinburgh): Dockside entry for the Scottish capital. Venture to the Castle and Royal Mile, or explore Leith’s waterfront—a day of city contrasts.
- Newcastle (Port of Tyne): North East energy and bridges across the Tyne. Visit the Baltic Centre, walk the Quayside, or catch the metro to the coast. The accent and warmth stand out.
- Amsterdam (Ijmuiden): Gateway to the Netherlands’ capital. Explore canals and museums, hire a bike, or wander the flower markets—a timeless mix of water and culture.
- Bruges (Zeebrugge): Medieval lanes and canal reflections. Climb the Belfry, browse chocolate shops, or visit the Markt. It rewards slow wandering.
- Le Havre (Paris): Modernist port by Auguste Perret, offering routes to Paris. See the Malraux Museum, walk the beach promenade, or take the train to the capital—sea and art combine.
