Full Itinerary

Day One

Board Marco Polo in Bristol today, and settle in to your cabin as she prepares to set sail.

Day Two

This morning finds us in the Isles of Scilly. Marco Polo anchors here in, giving you the opportunity to go ashore to explore Hugh Town on St Mary's, the flower-strewn byways beyond, and stunning Tresco, where the famous Abbey Gardens house Britain's finest subtropical plant collection.

Day Three

Crossing the Channel completely, our next port of call is Honfleur at the mouth of the Seine. Wander the streets behind the pretty harbour, or perhaps join an optional excursion to Monet's delightful house and gardens at Giverny.

Day Four

Relax on board as Marco Polo spends another day at sea.

Day Five

This morning Marco Polo arrives in the Firth of Forth to welcome new passengers and give you the chance to head into Edinburgh on a shore excursion. Wander the historic streets of the delightful Scottish capital, which spread of from the Royal Mile between the hill-top Castle and Holyrood Palace.

Day Six

Invergordon's natural harbour, welcomes Marco Polo today. Step ashore to explore or join a shore excursion, perhaps to Inverness in search of Nessie. Golfers might make a pilgrimage to Dornoch, or whisky connoisseurs to the celebrated Ord Distillery.

Day Seven

Today Marco Polo arrives in Kirkwall, Orkney's historic capital. Wander the streets and marvel at magnificent St Magnus Cathedral, or join an excursion to fabled Scapa Flow, Churchill's famous Barriers or the Italian Chapel.

Day Eight

Today Marco Polo arrives in the Western Isles, to anchor off Stornoway, capital of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides. These beautiful, unspoiled islands have been inhabited for over 6000 years. Explore the town, or take the excursion to Callanish's mysterious Standing Stones, thought to be nearly 4000 years old.

Day Nine

The small town of Tobermory on the beautiful island of Mull, with its picturesque, multi-coloured houses encircling the waterfront, is a delightful place to explore, as is nearby Duart Castle, the famous seat of Clan Maclean.

Day 10

Marco Polo's next call, in Belfast, brings chances to explore this unique city - where the gleaming Titanic Quarter is a must-see attraction - and the scenic Antrim countryside.

Day 11

Today Marco Polo arrives in Dublin. This great city of culture, once home to Joyce, Yeats, Wilde and Swift, is one of Europe's most engaging capitals. Grafton and O'Connell Streets are popular with visitors, as are the city's famous bars and pubs, cafes and coffee shops.

Day 12

Bid farewell to Marco Polo and all your fellow travellers, today, as you disembark at the end of your cruise.

SUSAN

Millbrook, Cornwall Single traveller
The variety of excursions/ opportunities for a bit of adventure were very pleasing.
The ports of call offered a wide range of experiences from island beauty( Scillies) to urban sophistication ( Edinburgh)
I particularly enjoyed visiting the Neolithic stone circles on Orkney and Lewes, the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland and the Dublin city tour, when we were lucky enough to have a brilliantly funny tour guide who had us all in stitches before we' d even left the quayside.

FREDERICK

Chippenham Couple
We both enjoyed this our first cruise at the age of 75&73. Having spent 23 years serving in the Royal Navy it had always been my ambition to embark on a pleasure cruise but my wife was never too keen. However due to her failing eyesight she was determined to visit the northern Isles of her native Scotland and she was very happy with the way we were looked after on board the MV Marco Polo, in fact she has now got the cruise bug and wants to go on another cruise as soon as we can afford it.

800 passengers too crowded for us. Excursions too expensive- we did 2 and Dublin was Very poor.
Entertainment was not for us but we enjoyed the classical piano and violin in the lounge.
Cabin steward and waiters were excellent. The food was plentiful and good.
We enjoyed the rest and change of scenery

We were lucky no rough seas! The service food entertainment, organisation was all excellent.

We were ill afterwards and two other people we met as well, did this happen to others, I can hardly believe it was the boat as everywhere was so clean.

BRIAN

Coventry Couple
We were new to cruising and, on arrival at the Bristol terminal, we didn't know what to do. There were 2 TV monitors that could have showed information to new arrivals but they only showed the company logo . Announcements were made only at about 20min intervals.
Now the good part. We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. The staff were all friendly and smiled and we were impressed with the cleanliness and hygiene throughout the ship. The entertainment suited us and the shore excursion arrangements were well handled.
We came away planning our next cruise. Thank you all.
