The United Kingdom emanates a royal atmosphere, and nowhere is that more clear than the capital city of London. This serves as the port of embarkation or departure for several of our cruises which either focus exclusively on the British Isles of Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland or cross to other parts of Europe, like France or the Baltic States. While in London, you'll have the chance to see popular sights like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, and the legendary Tower Bridge. Since we don't spend a lot of time here on the cruises, we encourage you to either arrive a few days early or stay a few days after to explore this city on your own. Of course, we're here to help you plan than as well. Departing from London, you will see the rugged British landscape as it blends seamlessly into the modern capital.
