Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a self-confessed cruise addict and I'm fresh off the Regal Princess around the British Isles.

I found the Princess Cruis's shore excursions to be really expensive, so I didn't book any of them on this cruise.

Honestly, this tour was the absolute highlight of my entire British Isles trip.

Each stop offered its own magic. Cornish pasties, castles, poignant Irish and maritime history, and those dramatic coastlines.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Manage expectations with tender ports and have breakfast before picking up a tender ticket.

Booking popular attractionsBook tickets for the Titanic Experience, Guinness Storehouse, and Book of Kells well in advance as they sell out quickly.
