The town of St Peter Port is one of the ten parishes on the island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands and the first stop. There is a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the island for some exceptional rural and coastal scenery as well as town features including original granite buildings and cobbled streets.

Ireland, or Eire, is next on the itinerary. The ship docks at the port city of Cork, gateway to many of the country's most interesting historic destinations. Visit Blarney Castle and plant one on the Blarney Stone, a kiss that is said to bestow the gift of eloquence.

The ship docks next in Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland. A sightseeing tour takes in St Patrick's Cathedral, Trinity College, the Ha'penny Bridge, the GPO in O'Connell Street, St Stephen's Green and Grafton Street.

The ship then heads back to the UK for a day in Liverpool. Home of The Beatles, Liverpool is also famous for its maritime history and Mersey waterfront. See Matthew Street and the Cavern Club before taking your own ferry ride across the River Mersey.

Northern Ireland beckons with a day in Belfast to take in stunning coastal views on the way to the Giant's Causeway and its remarkable rock formations. Later head to the Titanic Dry Dock before returning to Belfast for a tour of the Grand Opera House, Queens University and Albert Memorial Clock.

The tour treks to Glasgow next with a scout around the sites of interest. In the evening a coach takes the group across country to Edinburgh for a date with the world renowned Royal Edinburgh Tattoo in the grounds of Edinburgh Castle.
