British Isles 2016: Castles, Lochs, Tattoo, and More!



 
If your dreams of travel include a British Isles cruise to cities, isles, and shores of legends, this may be the cruise for you!   I cruised the British Isles a few years ago and that was one of my favorite cruises; this itinerary is slightly different so I jumped right onboard!  The cruise from August 6-20, 2016, is a 14 day Signature Event sailing on Celebrity Silhouette to the British Isles that includes an overnight in Edinburgh during the world renowned Military Tattoo.   The cruise is roundtrip from Amsterdam and we will visit St. Peter Port, Guernsey; Cork and Dublin, Ireland; Belfast, Northern Ireland; Liverpool, England; Shetland, Inverness, and Edinburgh, Scotland, and Bruges, Belgium.  If you’re a Diana Gabaldon Outlander fan (which I am), you will have the opportunity to see many of the Scottish sights depicted in her Outlander books and Starz series.  If you're a Game of Thrones fan, you will see some of filming location sights in Scotland and Northern Ireland.  What's not to like about this cruise?  Fish and chips, steak and ale pie, castles, lochs, folklore, myth, and legend, beautiful scenery, and the list goes on!
