Experience the rich traditions and astonishing beauty of the British Isles and Normandy's storied coastline during this once-in-a-lifetime Celtic Lands voyage. From the British Isles to the coast of France, our Celtic Lands itinerary explores the lands and seas traversed by the Iron Age tribes known as the Celts, along with their enduring influence and the captivating historical legacies.
Cruise the waters of the Irish and Celtic Seas and sail across the English Channel aboard the exclusively chartered, Five-Star, small ship m.s. Le Boréal, featuring only 110 Suites and Staterooms, to explore cities, villages and islands that abound with living Celtic heritage, calling at ports inaccessible to larger vessels. Discover Scotland's misty, legend-haunted and seldom-visited Inner Hebridean Islands; admire the austere beauty of the Scottish Highlands aboard the Jacobite steam train, better recognized as Harry Potter's Hogwarts™ Express, and known as "one of the great railway journeys of the world"; and call on the majestic Isle of Skye, where the traditional Gaelic language is still spoken today. In North Wales, follow in the footsteps of medieval and modern princes, and, in Dublin, Ireland, view the treasures of Celtic heritage.
