Itinerary

On the south coast of England lies the port city of Portsmouth. In Portsmouth, there are numerous museums, visit one to learn about D-Day, U-boats and much more.

Cobh, in southern Ireland, is a picturesque town full of charm. It is located in one of the largest natural harbors in the world, Cork Harbour. Get to know the warmth of the Irish, explore the town and visit the St. Colman's Cathedral. During a visit to a typical Irish pub, you can experience the Irish way of life.

Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland and is fast becoming a European cultural capital. The city is well-known for its connections to the Titanic. The impressive Titanic Belfast opened in 2012 and charts Belfast's rise as an industrial superpower, and showcases the huge slipways where the vessel was built. Belfast City Hall, open since 1906 stands at the centre of the city and on sunny days the surrounding grounds become a popular picnic spot. Wander the waterfront to discover Belfast's stunning Victorian architecture and great spots to eat, drink and listen to music.

The capital and largest city in Ireland, Dublin showcases the best of Irish heritage, with layers of history from its 9th century Viking past, booming 18th century Georgian times, scars of early 1900s rebellions to modern groundbreaking infrastructure. Walk the grounds of Ireland’s oldest university, have a few scoops in Temple Bar, or learn how to pour your own perfect pint in the famous Guinness Storehouse. Whatever you decide to get up to, memories of your trip to Dublin will stay with you forever.

Home to the Beatles and football, the historic port city of Liverpool is located in north-western England and since becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004 and was 'European Capital of Culture' in 2008, it has become one of the UK's major tourist destinations. Liverpool is mainly known for its sport and music scene. Anfield, home of Liverpool FC, is a must see for any sports fans. Music lovers should head straight to the Cavern Club where the Beatles played over 300 times and music history was made. Another must-see is the Royal Albert Dock. Dating back to 1846, the dock is now a major tourist destination and how to restaurants, cafes and museums.

In the surroundings of the Scottish village you will find a breathtaking nature. Take a trip to view Scotland's rugged landscape, or visit one of the many castles in the country. Greenock is a natural deep water port with offers magnificent views of mountains and beyond to all ships entering and leaving the port. The town of Greenock is home to some spectacular scenes of the River Clyde. Many examples of Victorian architecture can be found at Custom House and the McLean Museum
