  1. Day 1

    Greenock-Glasgow

    Greenock places you on the broad Firth of Clyde, with the hills of Argyll rising across the water. Once a shipbuilding and trading powerhouse, this port rewards a closer look at its waterfront. The neoclassical Custom House, built between 1818 and 1822, is one of Scotland’s finest examples of its kind. Glasgow’s museums and architecture are within reach, while the Clyde coast offers quieter views and small-town stops.

  2. Day 2

    Portrush

    Portrush puts Northern Ireland’s celebrated Causeway Coast within easy reach. Start in town, where a working harbour and two broad sandy beaches frame the Atlantic. Royal Portrush Golf Club has hosted The Open, while nearby Dunluce Castle stands dramatically above the sea. Farther east, the Giant’s Causeway’s interlocking basalt columns reward a visit, especially when the light shifts. Bring a windproof layer; coastal weather changes quickly, and the views are best enjoyed outdoors.

  3. Day 3

    Warrenpoint

    Warrenpoint sits at the head of Carlingford Lough, with the Mourne Mountains rising behind its waterfront. Walk the promenade for views across the water to County Louth, then explore this welcoming seaside town. Nearby Narrow Water Castle offers a glimpse of the region’s past, while Newry adds shops and canal-side heritage. Beyond town, quiet roads lead towards the Mournes and the landscapes of County Down.

  4. Day 4

    Cobh-Cork, Ireland

    Cork is Ireland’s most independent-minded city, built on islands in the River Lee and shaped by its maritime past. Most cruise ships berth at Cobh, a handsome harbour town about 15 miles from Cork. A direct railway connects the two. Browse the English Market, visit St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, or seek out the city’s cafés and pubs. Allow time for Blarney Castle, a short drive away.

  5. Day 5

    Fowey

    On Cornwall’s south coast, Fowey is a handsome harbor town. It climbs steep streets above the River Fowey, where fishing boats and yachts share sheltered water. Browse independent shops, then take the passenger ferry across to Polruan or follow the coastal path toward St Catherine’s Castle. Daphne du Maurier made the estuary her home and a setting for her novels. Her presence still lends Fowey a distinctly literary air.

  6. Day 6

    Roscoff, France

    Roscoff rewards travellers who look beyond the ferry terminal. This granite-built Breton port pairs a lively harbour with a remarkably intact old town. Its 16th-century Notre-Dame de Croaz Batz reflects the wealth once drawn from seafaring and trade. Sample the celebrated Roscoff onions and fresh seafood, then take the short boat crossing to Île de Batz. Coastal paths and the exotic Georges Delaselle garden make an unhurried day ashore.

  7. Day 7

    Quiberon, France

    Quiberon sits at the tip of a slender peninsula in southern Brittany, where the Atlantic shapes every view. On its western shore, the Côte Sauvage breaks into cliffs, coves and sea-carved rock; sheltered beaches line the eastern side. The working port sends ferries to Belle-Île-en-Mer, while the town remains famed for sardines and coastal walks. Come for salt air, striking scenery and a distinctly Breton pace.

  8. Day 8

    Pauillac, France

    Step ashore at Pauillac, on the Gironde estuary, and enter the Médoc, Bordeaux’s celebrated wine country. Vineyards stretch inland, while the waterfront reflects the town’s long history of wine trading and shipping. Three renowned estates—Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Mouton Rothschild—stand within the Pauillac appellation. Book tastings ahead; many estates require reservations. You can also follow country roads along the Gironde or travel south to Bordeaux, about 50 miles away.

  9. Day 9

    Bordeaux, France

    Bordeaux is best approached through its river: the Garonne leads into a city shaped by trade, wine and ambitious architecture. Along the UNESCO-listed Port of the Moon, eighteenth-century façades frame broad quays and the Place de la Bourse. Beyond the centre, renowned wine estates and the Médoc’s château-lined roads invite a longer excursion. Stay in town for a market, a riverside walk and a glass of local claret. Venture farther for vineyard landscapes that explain Bordeaux’s global reputation.
