Set on the southern coast of Ireland, the town of Cobh is renowned for its colourful waterfront and Gothic Revival St Colman’s Cathedral. From Cobh you can visit the historic city of Cork, where highlights include the Victorian Gothic St Fin Barre’s Cathedral and English Market, an 18th-century covered food market. From here, Spirit of Adventure will cruise into the North Atlantic to visit a new port of call, Runavik, on the remote Faroe Islands. Enjoy an extended visit to this ruggedly beautiful island chain, where Runavik, the largest settlement on Eysturoy Island, nestles between the coast and the scenic Skalafjørdur fjord.
Continue to the Scottish Isles of Lewis, Orkney and Shetland, home to a treasure trove of Neolithic sites, ancient monuments and Viking influences that reveal a millennia of complex societies. The diverse geology of these islands also create a haven for seabirds and other wildlife that are best observed at this time of year.

Set beside one of the world’s largest natural harbours, Cobh is a seaside town renowned for its brightly coloured waterfront buildings. The Gothic Revival St Colman’s Cathedral perches on a steep hillside overlooking the town. The busy port was the embarkation point for 2.5 million people who emigrated to America between 1848 and 1950. The Titanic Experience, which is in the town’s former White Star Line ticket office, retells the plight of the ill-fated ship which made her last stop here.
From Cobh you can visit the riverside city of Cork on an included excursion. Alternatively, head to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone and explore the grounds.

An archipelago of mostly flat, green-topped islands ringed with red sandstone cliffs and sandy beaches, the Orkneys lie due north of John O’ Groats. Although remote, these rugged and unspoilt islands offer a rich history and are home to the oldest and best-preserved Neolithic site in Europe, Skara Brae. Kirkwall is the largest town and capital, where you can visit the medieval St Magnus Cathedral or delve into the islands’ fascinating Viking heritage.
Included excursion
See the historic sights of Kirkwall, including the Stones of Stenness and the UNESCO-listed Ring of Brodgar, on an included panoramic drive.

The remote Shetland Islands sit around 200 miles from Aberdeen and, of nearly 100 islands, only 20 are inhabited. The capital, Lerwick, derives its name from the Old Norse for ‘mud bay’ and reflects the area’s Viking heritage, as do the archaeological sites to be found here. The geology of these 100-plus islands is so diverse that they are a designated global Geopark and, unsurprisingly, they’re also teeming with seabirds and other wildlife.
