Isles of Enchantment

Experience the diverse history of the British Isles on your voyage through the United Kingdom and beyond. Arrive in London; Britain’s forward-thinking capital that blends history, pageantry, and innovation; and embark the luxurious Nautica before you depart for Newcastle, a cultural hub adorned with timeless Victorian structures. Arrive in Edinburgh, where you’ll find this dignified capital’s finest details in the intimate squares and maze-like alleyways of medieval Old Town; and explore fascinating Viking history at the Manx Museum in Douglas. In Belfast, birthplace of the Titanic, you’ll discover an industrial city polished into the sleek Northern Irish destination you see today; before indulging in the cultural feast that is Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city. From the beaches to The Beatles, Liverpool delights with modern attractions and classic British heritage. Hike the Welsh countryside in Holyhead before disembarking the Nautica in Dublin, Ireland’s cosmopolitan capital. Experience “The White Continent” in its unspoiled state—fantastically shaped icebergs, turquoise glaciers, bustling penguin rookeries and breaching whales—during the lingering light of the austral summer. Accompanied by the ship’s expert expedition team of naturalists, board sturdy Zodiac watercraft for excursions ashore and observe the playful antics of this region’s abundant wildlife—penguins and seals, in particular, are unafraid of human visitors. The expedition team will provide a series of enriching lectures on this pristine wilderness. Spend two nights in a deluxe hotel in Buenos Aires, including a tour of Argentina’s vibrant capital city. Extend your journey with the exclusive three-night Iguazú Falls Post-Program Option
