BREAKING NEWS: TRAVEL WITH TED KOPPEL, RENOWNED NEWS BROADCASTER, ON THE APRIL 29, 2010 VOYAGE
History. Culture & Unexpected Wildness. Unlike the majority of our expeditions which are wildness-oriented, this adventure through England, Ireland and Scotland—while taking us to wild and beautiful islands like Staffa and Orkney—adds culture and history to our appreciation of the spectacular landscapes we’ll see.
Everywhere on our British Island cruises you will encounter many surprises: the immense tropical gardens in the otherwise “English-y” isles of Scilly. The stunning geological architecture of Fingal’s Cave on Staffa. The cloistered quiet of Iona, the capital of ancient Celtic Christianity. The way the 5,000-year-old dwellings at Skara Brae in Orkney banish forever any lingering notions of early man as “primitive.” And the spectacular scenery along our British island cruise adventure. Each day you'll see and learn more.
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY: National Geographic Photographer Jim Richardson, a veteran of more than 40 articles for National Geographic and Traveler magazines, will join you aboard. Jim spent two years photographing the Celtic realm for the March 2006 National Geographic article “Celt Appeal.” He will share photo tips in the field and share his fascination with these storied and magical places.
