August 2027:
We’re going on the British Isles 2027 BearCruise, a 10-night cruise on The Norwegian Star with 8 port calls among England, Ireland, and Scotland. This will be an extra exciting trip for us as Bob is of Irish heritage, and neither of us has been to Ireland or Scotland.
Our itinerary:
- Southampton, England – Begin your voyage in this historic maritime gateway, where medieval walls and Tudor houses set the stage for adventure.
- Portland, England – Explore the rugged Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and stroll the quaint harbor town of Weymouth.
- Cork (Cobh), Ireland – Discover Ireland’s southern gem, rich with Victorian architecture, vibrant pubs, and the legacy of the Titanic’s last port.
- Liverpool, England – Trace the footsteps of the Fab Four – the lads from Liverpool and explore this historic English town.
- Dublin, Ireland – Dive into Dublin’s literary soul, Georgian elegance, and lively Temple Bar district.
- Belfast, Northern Ireland – Witness the rebirth of a city steeped in history, from Titanic Belfast to the murals of the Peace Walls.
- Inverness, Scotland – Venture into the Scottish Highlands, where Loch Ness and ancient castles await.
- Edinburgh (Newhaven), Scotland – Conclude with the grandeur of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, castle views, and cultural richness.
