  Join Magellan in Liverpool, today, and settle in to your cabin ahead of her late-evening sailing.

• Day Two – Dublin, Ireland

  Today Magellan 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, cafés and coffee shops.

  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. If you have the energy, why not climb Battery Hill to McCraig's Tower? On clear days, the views of the Islands of Kerrera and Mull are well worth the effort.

• Day Four – Kirkwall, Orkney Isles

• Day Five – Invergordon, Scotland

  Arrive: 0700hrs

  Depart: 1600hrs

  This morning Magellan ties up in the great natural harbour at Invergordon on Scotland's rugged East Coast. Step ashore to explore, or join an optional shore excursion, perhaps to Loch Ness in search of Nessie. Golfers may head to the fine course at nearby Dornoch, while whisky connoisseurs can make a pilgrimage to the celebrated Glen Ord Distillery.

  Spend today relaxing on board.

• Day Seven – Portsmouth, England

  Arrive: 0900hrs

  Depart: 1615hrs (Day Nine)

  Today Magellan navigates into the heart of Normandy - heading to the ancient city of Rouen. You'll spend the afternoon and the night here, before leaving in the early afternoon of Day 11, which means you'll have plenty of time to explore.

  Disembark in Liverpool, after breakfast this morning, at the end of a wonderful summer 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.
