Belfast, Northern Ireland
Stroll along the slipways where the Titanic was built and explore a stunning new museum dedicated to the ship’s famous, ill-fated journey. Set out from the city and explore the otherworldly rock landscape of the Giant’s Causeway. Wet your whistle at the Bushmills distillery or settle into a pub for a pint of Guinness.

Glasgow, Scotland
Glasgow is a lively and cosmopolitan city set against a background of exceptional Victorian architecture and state-of-the-art glass towers which house a growing financial services industry. The real Glasgow can be found in the pubs, where everything big and small is discussed over a pint.

Douglas, Isle of Man
Take a trip back in time when you arrive in Douglas on the Isle of Man. Horse-drawn trams guide travelers through scenic seafront streets just as locals have been doing since 1876. Visit medieval fortresses, abandoned castles (haunted by a ghost dog) and the village of Cregneash, where residents live in authentic thatched cottages.

Liverpool, England
A UNESCO World Heritage City, Liverpool combines contemporary and classic architecture, world-class golf, soccer and horse racing, plus unique boutiques and shops that also make it one of England’s leading retail destinations. Stroll the famed waterfront, visit the Museum of Liverpool and the Walker Art Gallery, and pay homage to The Beatles at Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields.

Dublin, Ireland
Spend time in Temple Bar and watch the city come alive, take a ghost tour to discover Dracula’s unnerving connection to Dublin and behold a view you’ll never forget from the Observation Wheel. Of course, no Irish adventure is complete without a trip to the Guinness Storehouse where you’ll learn the history of Ireland’s most popular stout.

Waterford, Ireland
The Viking traders who founded Waterford in 914 were not the first to settle in this vicinity; Neolithic standing stones and megalithic tombs testify to much older cultures. A veritable march through the centuries continues with Norman forts, medieval abbeys and numerous manor houses of 17th and 18th century vintage surrounded by primeval forests and delightful gardens.

St. Peter Port, Guernsey
Experience the best of England and France in Guernsey. Take in postcard-worthy views of brightly colored houses, idyllic gardens and cliffside paths from St. Peter Port. Later, stop at one of the many bistros for an unforgettable meal.
