From Honfleur, you will step aboard Le Dumont-d’Urville for a 13-day cruise around the British Isles.
Your first stopover will be the Kinsale, a charming little port sheltered within the Bandon Estuary. You then set sail for the Aran Islands, so typically Irish with their countless dry stone walls, which you will reach after a lovely journey past the famous Cliffs of Moher.
Le Dumont-d’Urville will take you to Killybegs, a gateway to the city of Donegal. You will be captivated by its sheer cliffs, deserted sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery and welcoming pubs.
The Inner Hebrides will then welcome you with Iona, the cradle of Christianity in Scotland where the famous Book of Kells was written, and Tobermory, a charming fishing port with multi-coloured houses whose distillery produces a renowned single malt.
During your stopover in Belfast, you can visit the Giant’s Causeway. This massive geological formation is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features over 40,000 basalt columns.
Your ship will finally head towards the peninsula of Cornwall. Its rocky coastlines, beautiful rolling countryside and numerous local legends have inspired novelists and filmmakers.
