Itinerary Overview

History. Culture & Unexpected Wildness. This adventure through England, Ireland and Scotland takes us to wild and beautiful islands like Staffa and Orkney— and 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.

EXPLORE WITH GLOBAL LUMINARIES
Travel with Mary Robinson, first woman President of Ireland, formerly the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, who will bring perspective and context to modern Ireland (5/16/11).
