Mit nicko cruises Hochsee VASCO DA GAMA Krimi-Kruise mit Dietmar Bär und Uwe Bahn

Focus on the British Isles

17 days | Bremerhaven • Edinburgh • Aberdeen • Orkney Islands • Invergordon • Belfast • Fowey • Portsmouth • Bremerhaven

One holiday is generally not enough to discover all of the facets of the British Isles – they are just so diverse and so different. Unless, of course, you are on board of the VASCO DA GAMA. Because then you can visit several of the islands between the North Sea and the Atlantic on one single, wonderful cruise – with lots of “time to discover”. You will fi nd yourself tapping to the sound of bagpipes at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and will have the opportunity to taste both Scottish and Irish whisky. We wonder which you will think tastes better? You will fi nd the Northern Irish city of Belfast and the Irish town of Waterford as delightful as Liverpool and Fowey in England. And if you feel like it, you can plunge into the hustle and bustle of city life in London. All in all you are going to experience the full range of what the British Isles have to offer: Global cities and dreamy little towns, diverse cultural highlights and captivating natural landscapes, as well as memories that you will never forget.
