PONANT lädt Sie ein zu einer 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Champlain, auf der Sie die Schätze Großbritanniens und Irlands entdecken können. Die Route führt durch den Ärmelkanal, die Keltische See und die Irische See.
Von London, der weltoffenen Hauptstadt des Vereinigten Königreichs mit ihrem außergewöhnlichen historischen Erbe und ihrer künstlerischen Avantgarde, fährt die Le Champlain nach Osten durch die Gewässer des mythischen Ärmelkanals zur Insel Portland. Genießen Sie die Lebensfreude und das entspannte Flair dieses Kalksteingebiets, das mit üppiger Vegetation bewachsen ist.
Dann fahren Sie an der Jura-Küste entlang. Diese Küstenregion, die aufgrund Ihres geologischen Reichtums als Welterbe der UNESCO eingestuft wurde, bietet ein einzigartiges Panorama aus spektakulären Felsformationen, grünen Hügeln, kleinen wilden Buchten und wunderschönen Sand- und Kieselküsten.
Dann fahren Sie weiter in die charmante kleine Stadt Dartmouth im Herzen einer wunderschönen Naturkulisse an der Mündung des Dart River. Sie entdecken seine alten, pastellfarbenen Fischerhäuser sowie einige Fachwerkhäuser.
Dann läuft Ihr Schiff die Scilly-Inseln an. Dieser kleine, bizarre Archipel besticht insbesondere durch wunderschöne Sandstrände vor einer Kulisse aus grünen Wiesen und Feldern, auf deren Hügeln alte Burgruinen stehen.
Dann nimmt die Le Champlain Kurs auf Dublin. Die irische Hauptstadt wurde von der UNESCO ausgezeichnet, weil sie mit ihrem authentischen Charme und ihrer gemütlichen Atmosphäre einigen der größten Autoren seit dem 19. Jahrhundert als Inspiration diente.
Vor der Ausschiffung in Glasgow haben Sie die Möglichkeit zum Besuch von Belfast, von wo aus Sie den Giant's Causeway entdecken - Das 40.000 Basaltsäulen umfassende Meisterwerk der Natur gehört heute zum UNESCO Welterbe.

Verankert an den zerklüfteten Ufern des Ärmelkanals, am südlichsten Punkt der Grafschaft Dorset im Südwesten Englands, überrascht die Kalksteininsel Portland mit ihrer wilden und unberührten Natur, ihrem entspannten Flair und ihrem milden, jodhaltigen Klima. Die Insel, auf der 789 der erste Wikingerüberfall auf britischem Boden stattfand, trägt die Spuren einer reichen Geschichte, z. B. die Festung, die im 16. Jahrhundert von König Heinrich VIII. errichtet wurde, um Angriffe der Franzosen abzuwehren. Die britische Insel ist die Heimat zahlreicher Zugvogelarten und zeichnet sich durch ihre Umwelt aus, die von steilen, von den Wellen geformten Küsten und einer reichen Artenvielfalt geprägt ist.

A day along the Antrim Coast
Depart from the port of Belfast and drive along Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast. Some of the world's most unspoilt scenery is to be found in the county of Antrim. From the rugged cliffs of the coast to the Glens, here is the best of what Northern Ireland has to offer.
Travel via the Coast Road to reveal different seascapes, towering cliffs, white sandy beaches, tranquil glens and lush forest parks, as you make your way northwards. From the vantage point at Fair Head and Murlough Bay you can enjoy views of Scotland's Mull of Kintyre, as well as the wild and mysterious island of Rathlin just seven miles (11 km) off the coast.
Stop to enjoy tea/coffee and scones at a local hotel along the coastal route before continuing to photograph Carrick A Rede Rope Bridge. Spanning a chasm some eighty feet (25 m) deep, its construction once consisted of a single rope handrail and widely spaced slats, which the fishermen would traverse across with salmon caught off the island.
Continue to a local establishment to enjoy lunch before venturing to the UNESCO World Heritage Giants' Causeway site. The summer of 2012 marked the opening of the new Visitor Centre at the Giant's Causeway. This new interpretative centre allows you to decide for yourself which explanation of how the causeway's 40,000 basalt stones were formed is most likely. For centuries, visitors have marvelled at its stone formation. To stroll the Giants Causeway is to voyage back in time. Your imagination will travel along stepping-stones that lead to either the creative turbulence of a bygone volcanic age or into the myths and legends of the past. You can board the "Causeway Coaster" minibus to bring you to the causeway itself.
On your way back to Belfast, a photo stop will be made at Dunluce Castle, before returning to your ship.
- This excursion is mainly a panoramic tour which includes 2 hours at the Giant's Causeway, the amount of walking is at guest's discretion. This tour includes a snack with tea or coffee and scone and a 3-course lunch.

Charms of Belfast
This excursion offers the chance to experience firsthand the festive spirit of Irish hospitality as it has been shared through the ages.
Begin with a guided walking tour of Belfast center, where you will learn something of the history of this elegant Victorian city as you discover iconic buildings and monuments, including the Albert Memorial Clock Tower, erected in memory of Queen Victoria's beloved husband; Ulster Hall, an imposing 19th-century music hall now used for concerts and recitals of all kinds; and the emblematic Belfast City Hall, whose magnificent 300-foot-long façade of Portland stone makes it impossible to mistake.
But the highlight of your tour is certain to be your stop in a local pub, where you will spend time in the company of world champion Irish dancers and musicians. Enjoy a pint as you are entertained with dancing, stories, songs and music played on harp, uilleann pipes, bodhrán, guitar, flute, fiddle, concertina, and whistles. You may even try your hand at sean-nós and céilí dancing as your entertainers sing and play melodies and street songs that would have been heard in the ship-yards, mills, and markets of old.
- This is a moderate excursion with a total walking distance of approximately 1,2 mile (2 km) of flat and even terrain. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and a waterproof jacket if weather conditions suggest it. Order of visits may vary.

Giant's Causeway clifftop experience
Departing from the pier in Belfast, you will travel inland through the Northern Counties of Down and Antrim passing en route Ballymoney and Ballymena, to the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Giants’ Causeway.
For centuries, visitors have marvelled at its majesty and mystery. The unique rock formations have, for millions of years, stood as a natural rampart against the unbridled ferocity of the Atlantic storms and the rugged symmetry of the columns never fail to intrigue and inspire. To stroll the Giants Causeway is to voyage back in time. Your imagination will travel along stepping stones that lead to either the creative turbulence of a bygone volcanic age or into the myths and legends of the past.
Upon arrival, experience the Giant’s Causeway like never before and take the road less travelled and see for a stunning five-mile hike along the thrilling clifftop path. It is the perfect option for hikers and walkers. Follow your hiking guide and listen to fascinating stories of the Giant’s Causeway, to its history and geology. En route, enjoy few photostops at the most stunning viewpoints in Northern Ireland, such as Hamilton’s Seat.
The hike ends at the Giant's Causeway, where you can climb the legendary basalt columns before exploring the interactive exhibition within the Visitor Centre.
Then, get back to your coach for your transfer back to the pier.
- This excursion involves hiking approximately 6 miles (10 km) on natural paths, grass and uneven grounds. The path may be muddy. We recommend you wear good hiking shoes, layered clothing and a raincoat. We also recommend you bring water from the ship. The tour depends on the weather. This tour will be conducted in English only and is limited to 18 participants.

In the hull of Titanic
From the pier, embark your local coach for a short transfer to Belfast city centre.
Firstly, visit Titanic Belfast. Opened in April 2012, the new signature building telling the story of Titanic contains nine galleries containing a variety of interpretative materials and media including film and video, audio, archival materials and scale models; a high point will be a ride through the Titanic under construction. The adventure begins the moment you walk through the door and into the building's giant atrium surrounded by the four-high impact “hull” shaped sections which house the experience. As you wander up through Titanic Belfast, you will experience a thrilling ride through the reconstruction of the shipyards and the Titanic under construction. The stories of passengers, crew and the heroes of the day will be told in an exciting and modern way. At the conclusion, you can visit the wreck at her resting place on the floor of the North Atlantic.
After your immersion in the hull of the Titanic, take a short stroll to the Titanic Hotel where you will enjoy a typical snack while your guide tells the story of the making of Titanic. Titanic Hotel was the original drawing offices for Harland and Wolff, where the Titanic began its journey to life. The drawing offices were built in the late 1880s when the company was emerging as one of the world's leading shipbuilders. Here, decisions were made which changed the course of shipbuilding.
Then, re-board your coach for a panoramic tour of Belfast, city of industry and elegance with a rich and varied past. Its origins go back to an ancient fort controlling the ford across the River Lagan which flows through the city. The panoramic tour of the city will introduce you to the many varied features of Northern Ireland's largest city. Built with 19th century industrial money, many fine buildings from this era grace the city still and are reminders of its prosperous past. You will drive past the Grand Opera House and the Albert Memorial before passing Queen's University, the Botanic Gardens and Belfast City Hall - an impressive building with a 91 metres (300 feet) long façade of Portland stone, which dominates Donegall Square. A stop here will allow you photograph what is perhaps the most noteworthy of the statues in the grounds. It is the marble figure of “Thane” on a granite pedestal, sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock and commemorating the sinking in 1912 of the R.M.S Titanic, the ill-fated Belfast built liner.
- This excursion involves walking on mostly flat ground with many steps (approximately 200 steps). Guests can choose to walk the stairs throughout Titanic Belfast or use the lifts. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes. Order of the visit may vary.

Ulster Folk Museum experience
From the pier, board your local coach for a short transfer to the 20th century. Today, you will enjoy a journey back in time to rediscover Ulster as it was over a century ago.
Upon arrival at the Ulster Folk Museum, in the charming town of Holywood, meet your local guide who will give you an introduction before taking you on a guided tour of the Folk Museum. During your tour explore 'rolling hills of countryside' and a 'bustling town' filled with authentic period buildings. Visit various buildings throughout your tour where you will have the opportunity to see daily demonstrations of traditional crafts from basket weaving to printing and meet the inhabitants bringing it all to life. An immersive trip into the past awaits you.
Then, enjoy some free time to explore the park independently before saying goodbye to your new old friends and travelling the short journey to Belfast City.
Belfast is a city of industry and elegance and boasts a rich and varied past. Its origins go back to an ancient fort controlling the ford across the River Lagan, which flows through the city.

Built with 19th century industrial money, many fine buildings from this era grace the city still and are reminders of its prosperous past. You will drive past the Grand Opera House and the Albert Memorial before passing Queen's University, the Botanic Gardens and Belfast City Hall - an impressive building with a 91 metres (300 feet) long façade of Portland stone, which dominates Donegall Square. A stop here will allow you photograph what is perhaps the most noteworthy of the statues in the grounds. It is the marble figure of “Thane” on a granite pedestal, sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock and commemorating the sinking in 1912 of the R.M.S Titanic, the ill-fated Belfast built liner.
- This excursion involves walking on mostly flat ground with many steps (approximately 200 steps). Guests can choose to walk the stairs throughout Titanic Belfast or use the lifts. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes. Order of the visit may vary.

Explore the wild and majestic scenery of the Scottish Highlands’ enchanting landscape, as you venture into historic cities, discover quaint villages and gaze at tranquil lochs.
Day 1 – Glasgow/Inverness
After disembarkation procedures are completed, you will be greeted at the port by our local representative.
Start your journey to Stirling, the original Capital of Scotland.
From its spectacular setting, high on a volcanic rock above the River Forth, Stirling Castle has controlled one of the main routes between the Scottish Highlands and the lowlands for centuries, earning the title “key to the kingdom”. Earlier fortifications have given way to today's palatial and beautifully furnished 15th-century residence, the home of the Stuart kings and birthplace of James II. Explore the castle with your guide and learn about the long and bloody history of the castle that has been attacked or besieged at least 16 times.
After your visit enjoy some lunch in a local restaurant.
Continue onto Blair Castle, nestled in the landscape of Highland Perthshire. This Castle has been home to 19 generations of Stewarts and Murrays of Atholl. The current Duke still retains his own private army, the Atholl Highlanders, the only private army in Europe. Inside the castle, you can visit up to 30 rooms, which are fully preserved with their original furnishings and fittings, Jacobite relics and fine art. Explore Blair Castle’s extensive landscaped gardens which feature a nine-acre walled garden, a wooded grove, a kirk ruin, and deer park.
Take in the mountainous beauty of the Cairngorms National Park as you journey from Pitlochry to Inverness. This scenic drive is scattered with off grid distilleries and hills strewn with castles. The Cairngorms National Park is home to one-quarter of Scotland's native forest and a quarter of the rare and endangered species in the UK.
Stay overnight in Inverness and enjoy dinner at your hotel Ness Walk 5*.
Day 2 – Inverness/Portree
Start your day with a drive to Muir of Ord, home to the Glen Ord Distillery, the only remaining single malt scotch whisky distillery on the Black Isle. The Singleton team welcome you into a world of extraordinary taste and flavour. Enjoy a tour of one of the Highland’s hidden treasures, producing liquid gold all year round. Watch a short video of the distilleries history and taste a dram of their Whisky.
Continue to Drumnadrochit to enjoy lunch in a local restaurant.
After lunch, head to famous Loch Ness, home to the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. Visit the wonderful Urquhart Castle - a critical strategic stronghold in the highlands, positioned on the banks of Loch Ness, which would have been a main route through the Great Glen of the highlands. Its chequered history came to a dramatic demise in 1692 when the castle was blown up to stop it falling into Jacobite hands. What remains are picturesque and impressive ruins, surrounded on three sides by the cold deep waters of Loch Ness. During your visit learn about the rich history of the castle and its clansmen and take in the stunning views.
Journey to the picturesque village of Dornie, where Eilean Donan Castle majestically stands at the meeting point of three sea lochs. Eilean Donan is arguably one of the most recognisable castles in the world. Located strategically on a little island in the midst of some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery, it is no wonder that the castle has featured in many films. The Castle is named for the 6th century Irish saint who set up the first community on the island. There has been a fortified castle on this site since the 13th century, although it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in its long and turbulent history.
Head over to Scotland’s second largest island ‘The Isle of Skye’, also known as ‘Cloud Island’ in old Norse.
Stay overnight in Portree and enjoy dinner at your hotel Cuillin Hills 4*.
Day 3 – Isle of Skye
Begin your day at the enchanting Fairy Pools, known worldwide for their crystal-clear blue waters. This scenic hiking trail passes over small bridges and tranquil rivers, fed by a series of cascading waterfalls from the Cuillin Mountains. Listen to the legendary tales of these mystical pools and learn about the historic battle of clans that took place in 1601.
A short drive takes you to a local restaurant for lunch.
Continue your journey across the island, taking in the panoramic views of this wild and rugged scenery, heading towards Quiraing – an ancient landslip on the northernmost summit of the Trotternish, offering one of the best views of the island on a clear day. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving. The name Quiraing comes from Old Norse Kví Rand, which means 'Round Fold'. It is said that the fold was used to conceal cattle from Viking raiders.
Follow the dramatic coastline along the east of the island to Kilt Rock – a sea cliff with basalt columns the resemble the pleats of a kilt. This spectacular geological feature sits next to the Mealt Falls, which dramatically fall 55 metres from the clifftop into the rock-laden shoreline below. If you listen closely, you can hear the whistle of the falls that sound like the eerie tunes of a bagpipe.
South of Kilt Rock under the summit of The Storr sits The Old Man of Storr. Famous for its magnificent scenery and views overlooking the Sound of Rassay. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the west. Legend has it that the Old Man of Storr was a giant who resided on the Trotternish Ridge. When he was laid to rest upon his death, his thumb - the “Old Man” - remained partially above ground.
Conclude your day by returning to your hotel for dinner.
Day 4 – Portree/Edinburgh
Board your ferry for the short crossing over to Scotland’s second largest island ‘The Isle of Skye’, also known as ‘Cloud Island’ in old Norse.
Re-join your coach and continue to the village of Glenfinnan - best known for the stunning railway viaduct which featured in a Harry Potter movie, it is part of the legendary West Highland Line which operates between the towns of Fort William and Mallaig. You will pause here for a photo stop of the Glenfinnan Monument - erected in 1815 as a tribute to the Jacobite clansmen who fought and died in the cause of Prince Charles Edward Stuart.
Continue your drive through magnificent Highland scenery en route to Glencoe – once a scene of the infamous 1692 massacre and now a centre for serious mountaineering, providing some of the finest climbing and walking in Scotland. Stop here for a light lunch.
Relax on the scenic drive to the picturesque village of Luss, which sits on the western shore of Loch Lomond. Enjoy free time here to take a gentle walk along the banks of Loch Lomond, visit the National Park visitor centre, shop in local craft shops exhibiting the work of local artists, or visit the coffee shop that also sells its very own Loch Lomond tartan.
Our final stop of the day will be at your hotel in the historic capital city of Edinburgh.
