Nearby, Southampton City Art Gallery specializes in modern British art. Solent Sky Museum features vintage aircraft like the iconic Spitfire.

Day 2 Cruising
Day 3 Port of Call Liverpool Arrival 6:45a.m. Departure 6:45p.m.

Overview

Liverpool is fast becoming one of Europe’s most popular city break destinations. After being awarded European Capital of Culture 2008, the city has moved into the sights of travelers and tourists from around the world. Already famous as the birthplace of The Beatles, the city’s other cultural assets are justifiably touted as some of the finest in Europe. With more theatres, museums, and galleries than any other UK city outside London, Liverpool’s history as one of the world’s great ports has left a remarkable legacy of art and architecture that gives it a distinctive look and unique atmosphere. Liverpool is also one of the world’s great sporting cities with horse racing at Aintree and Haydock, and 40 golf courses – seven of which are Championship standard, including the Royals Birkdale and Lytham, not to mention Liverpool and Everton FC. So if it’s Strawberry Fields, Premiership football, or Europe’s finest culture you’re looking for, it has to be Liverpool.

Day 4 Port of Call Greenock Arrival 6:30a.m. Departure 8:15p.m.

Overview

The largest and main settlement in the area is Greenock. Traditionally dependent on heavy industry and manufacturing relating to the shipping trade, Greenock is now one of the largest centers for high technology and modern communications media in Europe. IBM, National Semiconductor, Amazon, and T-Mobile One all have their UK or European bases in Greenock. Continued redevelopment of obsolete industrial land has resulted in a comfortable blend of Leisure and Retail services occupying the waterfront area. Greenock has excellent transport links, Clyde Port Authority operates one of the largest container terminals in Scotland which doubles as a busy Cruise ship terminal. The road links provide easy access to Glasgow International Airport (20 mins), Prestwick International Airport (45 mins), the main Caledonian McBrayne Ferry terminal in Gourock, and regular freight and passenger Rail transport to Paisley (30 mins) and Glasgow (40mins).

Day 5 Cruising
Day 6 Port of Call Cork Arrival 4:45a.m. Departure 3:15p.m.

Overview

Cork City is Ireland's third city (after Dublin and Belfast) and has always been an important seaport. It began on an island in the swampy estuary of the River Lee (the name Corcaigh means a marsh) and gradually climbed up the steep banks on either side. Today the river flows through Cork city in two main channels, so that you find yourself constantly crossing bridges. Some of the main streets are built over channels where ships nuzzled their anchor chains a century ago. Along the South Mall, you will see large gateways at street level, under steps leading to a higher main door. These were once boathouses when merchants arrived at their warehouses by water. As the hilly streets go up and down, so do the voices of the citizens. They have a characteristic sing-song cadence, beloved by national comedians, and Corkonians are regarded as the most talkative of all the Irish. St. Finbarr is the founder and patron saint. He founded a monastery in the seventh century where St. Finn Barre's Cathedral now stands, and it grew into an extensive and wealthy establishment. It attracted the attention of the Viking sea pirates who raided and burned the infant city but returned in later years to settle and trade. The Anglo-Norman invasion in 1172 resulted in both the Danish lords and local McCarthy chiefs having to submit to Henry II, but Cork has always had a reputation for independence and stubborn resistance: it came to be known as "Rebel Cork".

Day 7 Port of Call Portland/England Arrival 7:45a.m. Departure 6:45p.m.

Overview

The Isle of Portland juts out like a bird's beak into the English Channel but is not an island, although it is only joined to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. The road is about two miles long and runs between Chesil Bank and the huge man-made naval harbor. The land is formed from a massive block of limestone rising from near sea level in the south to over 400 ft high in the north. Portland Castle is a fortress built by Henry VIII and lost amongst the naval buildings and a prison. Almost immediately the road went up a very steep hill to Verne Yeates with immense views of Chesil Bank and the coast as far as Lulworth. Portland has been inhabited since early times and traces of occupation have been dated back 7,000 years. The Romans knew it as 'Vindilis' and Thomas Hardy wrote about it as 'The Isle of Slingers' because Portlanders used to throw stones to keep Kimberlins (strangers) away. The isle is an austere place, densely populated, with no trees and a lot of quarries, some still producing Portland Stone and some with dinosaur footprints in the stone. The island is a Royal Manor and many of the quarries are owned by the crown. Tout Quarry contains many sculptures, some of which are easy to see while others are much harder to find. The breakwater, which forms one of the largest harbors in the world (2130 acres), was finished in 1872. The twenty-three years of construction had cost the lives of twenty-two men. Most of the construction work was carried out by convicts, who had a hewn stone to form the breakwater for afor£1,167,852. At the Bill of Portland, there is a red and white lighthouse, built in 190,6, and the Trinity House Tower which is now a bird observatory. Despite the difficulty of actually standing up in the severe wind, several people had climbed onto Pulpit Rock. The 'Races', fast-flowing currents, meet here and have been responsible for many disasters. The waves are spectacular.

Day 8 Port of Call Southampton Arrival 3:30a.m.

Overview

Southampton is a port city on England’s south coast. It’s home to the Sea City Museum, with an interactive model of the Titanic, which departed from Southampton in 1912. Nearby, Southampton City Art Gallery specializes in modern British art. Solent Sky Museum features vintage aircraft like the iconic Spitfire. Tudor House & Garden displays artifacts covering over 800 years of history, including a penny-farthing bike.
