These ports prove there’s so much to discover much closer to home, from historic houses and period architecture to national parks and coastal scenery.

Why cruise the British Isles and Ireland?
Belfast
Belfast is fast becoming a celebrated haven for literature, art, music and theatre. The Cathedral Quarter is at the city’s cultural heart and well worth a visit. The city also boasts a rich seafaring history, and it was here that the ill-fated RMS Titanic was built. Today visitors can explore Titanic Belfast, which narrates the story of the White Star Line.
Bantry
The town of Bantry is located inside the wind-sheltered Bantry Bay in West Cork. Sitting on the edge of the Bay is the Bantry House. Here, you can explore the gardens in the ancestral home of the Earls of Bantry. Bantry is perfectly located for exploring some of Ireland’s finest Atlantic Coast scenery.
Kirkwall
Located on the Orkney Islands is the ancient Norse town, Kirkwall, which was founded by the Vikings in the early 11th century. This distinctive town is known for its twisting lanes, historical Bishop’s and Earl’s palaces and Britain's most northerly cathedral, St Magnus Cathedral.
