British Isles cruise
tips you can trust
Best 3 British Isles
cruise destinations
Dublin
Don't miss visiting the visually striking Long Room and viewing the famous Book of Kells in the Trinity College Library. Other Dublin draws include savoring the architecturally gorgeous Georgian Houses and having a pint in one of the interesting Irish pubs.
Edinburgh
Top draw is the Edinburgh Castle, which dramatically overlooks the Old Town from its high perch. Be sure to explore the historic Old Town below where the middle class worked and lived. Shoppers will relish the Royal Mile lined with quaint stores, pubs, and more.
Scottish Islands
Over 800 islands reside in northern and north-western Scotland. To the untraveled soul, they feel bleak and remote. To seasoned travelers, they are beautiful in a different world way. Hebrides, Orkneys, and Shetland are the three major island groups.
