18 Nights on Star Explorer
This Scotland and Ireland cruise inspired the world's best poets, writers, and composers for centuries. Create your own travel opus on this sailing to mysterious stone age monoliths and genial coastal communities. Seek out red squirrels and elusive pine martens on a guided stroll to Rogie Falls on Scotland's Blackwater River near Invergordon. Explore the neolithic circles and the prehistoric settlement of Skara Brae, just beyond the white walls of Orkney's storied Skaill House. Walk on some of the 40,000 coastal basalt stones along the Giant's Causeway beyond Portrush. Indulge in Galway's local fish and chips, or stroll amid megalithic limestone tombs in The Burren--imposing monuments predating Egypt's pyramids. Lean out over the battlements of Blarney Castle and kiss the Blarney Stone for luck, then unwind with smokey whiskey samples at Cork County's storied Jameson Distillery.

London, one of the world's top destinations, is a city begging to be explored. Steeped in history, the well-known sites of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square beckon, or get a modern perspective from the top of the London Eye. This cosmopolitan city offers all the world cuisines you're used to, but there are still places to find traditional British fare like bangers and mash or shepherds' pie.
Sail the storied River Thames into or out of the heart of London, cruising beneath iconic Tower Bridge—a privilege only smaller ships can enjoy—and passing the Tower of London, the historic Royal Observatory at Greenwich marking the Prime Meridian, and the beautifully preserved Cutty Sark, the legendary 19th-century tea clipper. As you continue eastward, the skyline gradually gives way to the open waters of the English Channel.
