Europe

Scotland

Although close in distance, Scotland’s rugged landscape will seem a world away from your Liverpool departure. Sailing the Western edge of the country will reveal the highlights of the mainland and its many unique islands, such as Skye, Mull and Lewis. Capture orca’s bathing in the Atlantic, castles gripping to the cliffs’ edge and peaceful beaches lying in some of the most secluded areas of the UK. We highly recommend stops in Ullapool, Lerwick and Stornoway.

Greenland

As a foreign territory of Denmark, this country sits within the North American continent but is actually part of Europe. Nuuk, the island’s capital, is a sight to behold, with coloured houses framed by dominating mountains, where lucky cruisers will get the chance to witness the Aurora Borealis up close. Further East, glaciers and ice fjords come into view – a true spectacle as they glint in the sun within one of the world’s last pure wildernesses.

Italy

Crystal clear waters, tree-lined hillsides and trees dripping with lemons await you on the Amalfi coast, just one of the destinations of many to choose from along the Italian Mediterranean coastline. Here, the ports of Sorrento, Salerno and Capri welcome visitors with their world-renowned cuisine and charm. The area is filled with history, beautiful churches, Roman villas and the mighty Mount Vesuvius, unmistakeable on the horizon from the comfort of the ship. Disembark to explore the exotic gardens scattered around the shore, shop the Italian way to find hidden gems and devour the local pizza, pasta and gelato in the warming sun.

Croatia

A lesser-known area of the Mediterranean, this country’s charm is soon becoming a popular destination for cruisers due to its beautiful architecture and stunning natural coastlines, which make the perfect morning views from the comfort of your cabin. Leaving the ship will take you into the UNESCO protected old towns of Split and Dubrovnik with their winding cobbled streets, Roman architecture and world-renowned collections of art and history. Game of Thrones fans will recognise their surroundings as they wander the streets of Dubrovnik and both locations host world-class beaches for true relaxation.
