CASTLES, COTTAGES, & COUNTRYSIDES BRITISH ISLES CRUISES
Combine urban adventure with rural beauty in the British Isles.
History is everywhere you look in the British Isles. The region is home to legendary villages, thatched-roof houses and scores of castles, churches and colleges from centuries past. Cruise to the British Isles to check out the Titanic Belfast monument in Northern Ireland, with its interactive galleries and impressive structure on the old shipyard. Find your craic (Gaelic for "fun") in Ireland amid rolling green hills and local pubs. See the Scottish Highlands, home to the mysterious sites of Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle and Ben Nevis, the United Kingdom's highest peak. If you enjoy city buzz more than country charm, make your way to the Isles' metropolitan epicenter of London and see Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Tower Bridge.
The British Isles are known for their gorgeous green countryside, which is home to world-renowned natural
attractions, historic towns and a plethora of castles. Step outside the city and see what else these countries
have to offer during your vacation.

Insider Tips
1 It's useful to know the London Underground escalator etiquette, which is to stand on the right so commuters can rush by on the left.
2 Tipping is not customary across the British Isles like it is elsewhere in Europe and in North America. Some restaurants do add a service charge to bills.
3 If driving in the British Isles, remember Ireland road signs are in kilometers, while Great Britain uses miles instead.
FOR FOODIE'S
A CUISINE OF COMFORT
A CUISINE OF COMFORT
Each country in the British Isles is known for its signature pub grub and comfort food dishes. These hearty and predominantly meaty meals keep locals warm in a region known for its bracing weather.
Stir the Pot
Made from slow-cooked meat — typically lamb or beef — and root vegetables such as potatoes, onions and carrots, a bowl of Irish stew with a side of crusty bread is only made better when washed down with a pint of Guinness.
The Proof's in the Pudding
Typically served on Sundays, a traditional British roast usually includes roast beef, roast potatoes, a side of vegetables and Yorkshire pudding, a baked pudding often served with gravy. Head to a London pub to tuck into this English tradition.
The O.G. Fish and Chips
Across the British Isles, you'll find thousands of restaurants and shops exclusively serving fish and chips, which first appeared in England in the 1860s. Flaky, tender white fish is deep-fried in a thin, crunchy layer of batter and served alongside thick-cut fried potatoes and "mushy" peas, as the locals call them, which are blended with cream or occasionally ultra-rich bone marrow.
