Cruise · 10 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
A ten-night circumnavigation of the British Isles on Ambassador's Ambience, calling at Orkney, the Isles of Scilly, and the Channel Islands, with a focus on coastal charms and historic sites rather than speed or crowds.
Highlights
Orkney Isles with Neolithic sites and coastal scenery
Stop at Cobh, Ireland’s notable Titanic port
Visits to the Outer HebridesIncluding Isle of Lewis
Two nights in the Isles of Scilly
Channel Islands call at St. Peter Port, Guernsey
This cruise sets out from London Tilbury for a slow tour of the northern and western edges of the British Isles. It begins with Invergordon, a gateway to the Scottish Highlands, before reaching Kirkwall and elsewhere around the Orkney archipelago, where ancient ruins and windswept shores frame the visit.
Journeys

The ship then crosses to the Outer Hebrides, with stops in Stornoway and on the Isle of Lewis, home to Neolithic stones and seabird colonies. The route arcs southwards, calling at Cobh near Cork—the last port of call for the Titanic—then ventures to the Isles of Scilly, a group of low-lying islands with a quietly insular feel.
Finally, there are two Channel Islands visits, including Guernsey’s waterfront town of St. Peter Port before returning to Tilbury. The ship itself, Ambience, is modestly sized for this route, allowing relaxed manoeuvres along varied coastlines and smaller harbours. The itinerary favours time ashore over straightforward distance, making the voyage feel more of a passage through lesser-travelled British waters than a race from one landmark to the next.
