What to expect

The highlights of this cruise

Join the EUROPA as it cruises around the island and experience the “must sees” of Scotland, Ireland and the English south coast: charming harbour towns, modern cities, mythical landscapes and the favourite castles of the royal family.

Scotland’s cinematic scenery awaits you in the capital EDINBURGH*, in the royal summer residence Balmoral* near ABERDEEN and in the highlands* around OBAN. Get closer to the wild nature of the Orkney Islands around KIRKWALL. Go in search of a legend at Loch Ness* near ULLAPOOL and then get to know Ireland’s picturesque facets: GALWAY’S galleries or the metre-high rocky cliffs off DINGLE are impressions you can raise your glass to on a visit to the Old Midleton Whiskey Distillery* in KINSALE. The ISLES OF SCILLY owe their uniqueness to the mild climate of the Gulf Stream, just like Cornwall’s* lush meadows around FOWEY in England. In PORTSMOUTH, the choice is yours: would you prefer to gather some impressions of London* or rather explore the mysteries of Stonehenge*? After a last day at sea, your experiences “fit for a king” end in HAMBURG.
