British Isles Discovery & River Seine Experience Cruise

• Day One: Depart from London Tilbury
  Board Magellan in Tilbury, and settle in to your cabin as she prepares to set sail shortly after lunchtime.
• Day Two: Amsterdam, Netherlands

  At once historic and cosmopolitan, Amsterdam is our first port of call. Get to know this delightful, friendly city of picturesque canals and step-gabled buildings, perhaps visiting its world-class museums or exploring those enchanting waterways on a canal cruise.

• Day Three: At sea

  Spend today relaxing and getting to know the ship, her crew and your fellow passengers.

• Day Four: Kirkwall, Orkney Islands

  Today Magellan 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 Five: Oban, Scotland

  Magellan's next stop is the pretty port of Oban on the rugged west coast of Scotland. Take a stroll around the harbour, or join a shore excursion, perhaps to one of the many nearby whisky distilleries, before Magellan sets sail for Irish waters this afternoon.

• Day Six: Belfast, Northern Ireland

  Early this morning, Magellan arrives in historic Belfast. Explore the city centre, visit the new Titanic Quarter developments that pay homage to the ill-fated vessel, or join an optional excursion to the vast ’stone staircase’ of the Giant’s Causeway on the Antrim Coast beyond.

• Day Seven: Cobh and Cork, Ireland

  Magellan arrives in Cobh this morning. Join our optional shore excursion to discover this historic capital of southwest Ireland. Alternatively, you may wish to head into the beautiful rolling countryside beyond, to the fashionable resort of Kinsale, famed for its fine food and seafishing, or to famous Blarney Castle, just north of the city.

• Day Eight: At sea

  Relax on board as Magellan sails around the Cornish coast and into the English Channel on her way to France.

• Day Nine: Rouen and the River Seine, France

  Today Magellan navigates into the heart of Normandy - heading to the ancient city of Rouen. We'll spend the rest of the day here, giving you the chance to explore. See the Place du Vieux-Marche, site of Saint Joan's martyrdom, the famous one-handed mechanical clock and the stunning Gothic cathedral.

• Day 10: Honfleur, France

  Returning to the mouth of the Seine, Magellan's next port of call is Honfleur. Wander the streets behind the pretty harbour, or perhaps join an optional excursion into the surrounding countryside.

• Day 11: Arrive back at London Tilbury

  Bid farewell to Magellan, her crew and all your fellow travellers, this morning, as you disembark at the end of your cruise.

Days marked above with an anchor include ports where you will be transferred to shore by landing boat. These ports may be inaccessible for customers with mobility difficulties as a result. Any days not listed will be spent at sea.

• Passport requirements
  British Citizens will need a full, 10-year passport to travel on this cruise. Since some countries require visitors to be valid for at least six months after the return date of the cruise we recommend that all customers ensure that this is the case.
