On a British Isles cruise, fairytales come to life as you explore storybook castles and enchanting countryside's. Admire the stained-glass windows of Glasgow Cathedral. Uncover the mysteries of Stonehenge in England, and ascend the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Legend has it, you'll get the gift of gab after visiting the Blarney Stone at Ireland's iconic castle.
Castles are the emblem of these regions. Between the chandeliers and tapestries, step into luxury when you visit the British Isles. Experience the grandeur of Urquhart Castle, and search for legendary ghosts in Glamis Castle. Or visit Edinburgh Castle, where kings, queens and nobles once lived and medieval secrets continue to linger.
No cruise to the British Isles is complete without a visit to Paris. See “Venus de Milo” and da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” or tour Notre Dame, a work of art in and of itself. Visit the Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin, where interactive galleries invite you to explore. Those departing from London can also stop by the Victoria and Albert Museum which houses over two million artifacts.
For history lovers, St Peter Port is a dream. Discover Castle Cornet, an 800-year-old fortress that guards the harbour, as well as museums dedicated to the German occupation of Guernsey in the Second World War. You will also be enchanted by the fine Georgian and Regency houses, tumbling terraced gardens, winding streets and hidden leafy alleyways.
Indian citizens need a valid passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to cruise the British Isles, even if they are not planning to disembark in the UK. An ETA is required for entry into the UK and is different from a traditional visa. Depending on the locations where the cruise will dock, visitors may need to obtain a visa in advance.
The nearest major airports to British Isles cruise ports depend on the specific port, but common options include Southampton Airport (SOU) for Southampton, London Heathrow (LHR) for London/Southampton, and Dublin Airport (DUB) for cruises departing from Ireland. For cruises from the English capital, major London airports like Heathrow (LHR) and Gatwick (LGW) are common, with Southampton Airport (SOU) being the closest to the Southampton port itself.
